Mapping tectonic faults from space After the earthquake in Turkey
Jonathan Amos
Almost there seemed to be no interest inslotxo วอเลทstarting the scientific analysis behind Monday's earthquake in Turkey.
More than 33,000 people have been confirmed dead, and more are still trapped in the rubble. As the chances of saving their lives are running out.
But science must move on. insights gained from this event May save many people's lives in the future.
The map that appears in this story It is a map showing the land's response to the enormous energy released.
by Sentinel-1A satellite (Sentinel-1A) of the European Union It collected the mapping data early Friday (Feb. 10) as it was moving through Turkey from north to south at an altitude of 700 km.
Sentinel satellites are equipped with radar equipment capable of detecting signals from the ground in all weather conditions day and night. and regularly scans for earthquake-prone regions of the world. By tracing the elevation of the Earth's surface that is often not clearly revealed.
Except for the changes on Monday, February 6, which clearly saw the ground crooked, crumbling, splitting apart.
