Aftershocks are Natural... Can a "Tsunami" Occur?

Geology researcher Samir Zaatiti explained that the aftershocks following the earthquake that struck Turkey and northern Syria are natural and do not warrant significant concern, contrary to current fears. He noted that "these aftershocks will not cease suddenly due to the strength of the earthquake that occurred." Regarding worries about activity returning to the "Rhum" fault, he reassured, in an interview with "Voice of Lebanon," that "this fault is a branch of the Yamouna fault, which is part of a seismic line extending between the Taurus Mountains in southern Turkey and Aqaba on the Red Sea; however, it is a weak seismic line that poses no danger." As for dams, Zaatiti pointed out that they "do not influence the occurrence of earthquakes as they are located on the surface." Regarding the possibility of a "tsunami" in the Mediterranean Sea, he revealed that "studies have shown the existence of a seismic structure suitable for the occurrence of underwater earthquakes in the Mediterranean, which would be strong; however, no one knows at what point or when this energy will be released from within the Earth."
