Özet
In this study, an earthquake network was created for the Anatolian region by using the event synchronization method. The prominent earthquake zones in Anatolia and some of their possible network properties have been investigated by using local measurements. As a result of the measurements, some patterns draw attention. One starts from the south of the Marmara Sea and extends to the inner and coastal Aegean region. It can be mentioned that there is an earthquake continuity, and almost every cell on the network acts as a possible bridge for stress transfer in this region. Other prominent patterns arise on the Eastern Anatolian Fault and close to Van. As the same earthquake and stress continuity appear on these regions and cells acts as a bridge. The data used in the analysis cover the period between 1999-2017. Earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 5.5 to 6.9 occurred after 2017 in some prominent regions. On the other hand, some of them still silent. Results showed that these regions have the potential for future activities. On the other hand, the North Anatolian Fault and the south-west strand of the East Anatolian Fault remained silent. However, the part of the Eastern Anatolian Fault between Bingo?l and Po?tu?rge is very active.
