Abstract
We examine the long‐term seismicity of the Marmara Sea region in Turkey over a period of twenty centuries to attempt to answer two questions: (1) how well recorded in history is the earthquake activity of this region? and (2) does seismicity over this long period of time differ from that over the present century? We study this densely‐populated and fast‐developing region because it is one of the most tectonically active regions on the continents that appears today to be relatively quiescent.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
