Investigation of seismicity of izmir and surrounding under the light of seismological data

The aim of this study is to discuss the seismicity of Izmir and the surrounding area using local seismological data recorded by Aegean Region Research Center (EBAMER) and correlate them with historical earthquake datas.Through the historical and instrumental period in Izmir and the surrounding area were subjected to about 50 destructive earthquakes. Tens of destructive high-intensity earthquakes indicate the region's very intense seismic activity. Many of the land and underwater faults which were caused by these activities have been mapped by the various researchers. The relationship between the epicenter distribution map and these tectonic structures are examined based on data recorded by our station. Depths of the earthquakes are associated with the crust structure model which is obtained by gravity and magnetic studies.
