Erdogan is facing a tough test in this election because of public outrage over rising inflation and his handling of the Feb. 6 earthquake in southern Turkey that killed over 50,000 people, leveled cities and left millions without homes. His political adversaries say the government was slow to respond and that its failure to enforce building codes is to blame for the high death toll.
The political party founded by Erdogan in 2001 came to power amid an economic crisis and the Izmit quake. His Justice and Development Party, or AKP, capitalized on public anger over government mishandling of the disaster, and Erdogan became prime minister in 2003 and has never relinquished leadership of the country.
Since then, he has focused his reelection campaign on reconstructing quake-stricken areas, promising to build 319,000 homes within the year. At rally after rally, he has touted past projects as proof that only his government can restore the region.
The Nailgun fires a continuous stream of darts, alternating from each barrel. The nails have perfect accuracy, but the barrels are spaced slightly apart, and the nails will land with a deviance of four units where the player aims on both sides.
The Super Nailgun fires two nails at once for higher damage than the normal Nailgun. It also has no barrel deviance, with all shots landing in the same spot. It blows through ammo twice as fast, however.
Judgments of abnormality depend on specific circumstances as well as on cultural norms. What if, for example, we were to learn that Johanne is a citizen of Haiti and that her desperate unhappiness began in the days, weeks, and months following the massive earthquake that struck her country, already the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, on January 12, 2010? The quake, one of the worst natural disasters in history, killed 250,000 Haitians and left 1.5 million homeless. Half of Haiti's homes and buildings were immediately turned into rubble, and its electricity and other forms of power disappeared. Tent cities replaced homes for most people (Dube et al., 2018).
Crustal deformation due to the occurrence of large earthquakes causes stress perturbation in nearby regions. From the viewpoint of the physics of earthquakes, the probability of a subsequent large earthquake depends on the stress conditions set up by the previous events and long-term tectonic state3. Given the tectonic stress of the ECSZ, an investigation into the spatio-temporal state of stress along and near the faults coseismically ruptured by the M7.1 and M6.4 quakes can play a crucial role in understanding the distribution of post-seismic hazards after these quakes. Coulomb stress models were used to explain that the site of the M6.4 quake was stressed by the great 1872 Owens Valley (M7.6), the 1992 Landers (M7.3), and the 1999 Hector Mine (M7.1) quakes, and that the M6.4 earthquake loaded the site where the M7.1 shock nucleated4,5,6. However, physics-based approaches employing Coulomb stress transfer have so far not been successful in forecasting upcoming large earthquakes any better than statistical models7. This is partly due to the fact that the locations of potential faults, essential inputs to the calculation of change in Coulomb stress, are unknown8.
Here, earthquake triggering and characteristics of seismicity before, during, and after the Ridgecrest earthquakes are investigated. In particular, focus is placed on determining maps of b-values for different time periods, showing how the nucleation area for both the M6.4 and M7.1 quakes had low b-values before these events occurred, and mid-to-high b-values thereafter. The b-value map also correlates well with the slip distribution of the M7.1 quake. In addition, the local and time-dependent variations in b-values of the Ridgecrest earthquakes are linked with estimates of changes to Coulomb stress. The main conclusions of this study are that the b-values provide insight into the state of stress in the fault zone, which is likely closely related to the nucleation and evolution of earthquakes in the sequence. This combined approach of b-value and stress-change analyses to the post-M7.1-quake seismicity shows an area that is currently being stressed. Monitoring the spatio-temporal distribution of b, together with other seismological and geodetic observations, will contribute to an appreciation of the seismic hazard in the ECSZ.
The distribution of b-values (Fig. 2c, d) based on seismicity during a period before the M7.1 quake, indicated by the bidirectional arrow in the inset of Fig. 2c, shows a zone of low b-values near the eventual M7.1 hypocenter. A comparison with the pre-M6.4-quake period in Fig. 2a, b shows that an increase in b at the M6.4 hypocenter and a decrease in b at the M7.1 hypocenter are significant (Fig. 2g). The result indicates that the M6.4 rupture relaxed stress near the M6.4 hypocenter, which had been highly stressed before the M6.4 quake, but that it transferred stress to the nearby region of the M7.1 hypocenter, which had acted as a barrier before the M6.4 quake. The result was the erosion of this barrier by seismicity.
Low b-values near the M7.1 hypocenter (Fig. 2c, d), together with a temporal decay in seismicity (Fig. 4 and Supplementary Fig. 8), closely match another observation of increased Coulomb stresses near the M7.1 hypocenter (Fig. 3a). The sequence of stress jumps caused by the M6.4 quake and its subsequent events resulted in an increase of roughly 2 bars. This value is not surprising and is comparable to that obtained in previous studies2,5.
If the zone of currently low b-values (Fig. 2e) were more stressed (decrease in b-value), seismic activity in this zone would be further enhanced with possibility of future ruptures propagating either along a M6.4-quake-type left-lateral fault or along a M7.1-quake-type right-lateral fault (Fig. 3b and Supplementary Figs. 11 and 12). If so, the influence of a likely future rupture on the Garlock fault would be inevitable. Although this fault has historically been seismically quiescent, it has hosted numerous large earthquakes over several thousand years30, and the last major earthquake occurred about 400 to 500 years ago31. Moreover, geodetic measurements1,18,23 showed that measurable surface creep was triggered by the Ridgecrest sequence, while no measurable creep was shown before the start of this sequence32. The timing of the precursory signal observed in Fig. 2h remains unexplained: the low-b-value patch may continue or subside without the occurrence of a large earthquake. It is not yet possible to make conclusions about the quantitative predictive power of b-value mapping. Thus, together with seismological and geodetic observations, it would be worthwhile to monitor the spatio-temporal distribution of b-values around the southeast rupture terminus of the M7.1 quake, which contributes to seismic hazard in the ECSZ.
The earthquake catalog produced by the SCSN ( -catalogs/date_mag_loc.php)9 was used in this study. The SCSN has been in operation for more than 87 years, since 1932, and has recorded and located earthquakes. Station density and technological sophistication have both increased steadily since 1932 leading to increased catalog precision over time.
The EMR technique46 was initially proposed by Ogata and Katsura49,50, who combined the GR law with a detection rate function. Statistical modeling was performed separately for completely detected and incompletely detected parts of the frequency-magnitude distribution. The b- and a-values in the GR law are computed based on earthquakes above a certain magnitude (Mcc). For earthquakes whose magnitudes are smaller than Mcc, it has been hypothesized that the detection rate depends on their magnitudes in such a way that large earthquakes are almost entirely detected while smaller ones are detected at lower rates. Several studies46,49,50 assumed that the detection rate was expressed by the cumulative function of the Normal distribution. Earthquakes with magnitudes greater than or equal to Mcc are assumed to be detected with a detection rate of one. To evaluate the fitness of the model to data, the log-likelihood is computed by changing the value of Mcc. The best fitting model is that which maximizes the log-likelihood.
A b-value analysis is critically dependent on a robust estimate of completeness of the processed earthquake data. In particular, underestimates in Mc lead to systematic underestimates in b-values. Attention was always paid to Mc when assessing Mc locally at each node. On the other hand, it is of interest to understand how Mc factors into the conclusion, so an additional test was conducted. This was achieved by creating b-value cross-sections and timeseries for an increased value of every local Mc by 0.2 and 0.5 magnitude units44 (Supplementary Figs. 4 and 5). The spatial and temporal pattern in b generally appears to remain stable with the Mc correction. However, due to a reduced plotted area, it was not possible to judge whether the predictive information in the b-value is contained in the very smallest earthquakes when using small values for the Mc correction or in the intermediate magnitude events when using large values. Future research will be to tackle this problem, using a seismicity catalog similar to that including highly abundant earthquakes, derived from template matching1.
For the fault ruptured by the M7.1 quake (Fig. 3b), the finite-fault model proposed by Xu et al.23 was used (for details, see the section titled Fault models). The fault model of the M6.4 quake, again proposed by the same authors23, was used. These fault models were combined to create source faults in the Coulomb stress-change calculation in Fig. 3b and Supplementary Figs. 11 and 12. When slip on all patches consisting of a finite-fault model is set to zero, the model with zero slip can be used for a receiver fault. In creating Fig. 3a and Supplementary Fig. 6, which show stress changes resolved on the M7.1-quake fault, slip on all patches consisting of this fault was set to zero.
