studies like “Largest Earthquakes in the World Since 1900” They have documented the enormous amount of seismological phenomena that have been recorded in the world throughout all this time.
The earthquake that occurred in Turkey is testimony to how powerful a natural phenomenon can be.
There are campaigns like “Earthquake Safety PSA – Ad Council”which realize how important the protocols are, to be prepared for these seismological phenomena.
A earthquake of magnitude 7.8 degrees on the Richter scale was recorded in the southeast of Turkey and the northwest of Syria, realizing the impact that natural phenomena have and how through documenting them we can understand the alternatives to face them in the best way.
within a study titled “Largest Earthquakes in the World Since 1900” realizes which have been the most catastrophic earthquakes in history with the one that occurred in Chile in 1960, with an intensity of 9.5 degrees, followed by the one that occurred in Prince William Sound in Alaska in 1964 with a magnitude of 9.2 degrees.
Earthquake in Turkey: reports in networks
An earthquake was registered in Turkey this Monday, February 6 and reports on social networks have revealed the incident and the impact it has had on the community of that country, due to the havoc that a movement of this type has in the regions where that is presented.
After the telluric movement that occurred in southeastern Europe on this day, all kinds of reports have been given on social networks, mainly testimonies recorded on video, where the chaos caused by the telluric phenomenon is seen.
If we look at social networks, in accounts such as “Extrobertido” (@soyextrbertido, Twitter), the user published a video in which a man runs from a tractor-trailer with a newborn and describes himself as a birth that was registered after the havoc in that place.

This phenomenon is added to other unfortunate seismic episodes such as the one that occurred in Mexico in September 2017, when a magnitude 7.1 Richter earthquake was recorded in Mexico City and other states, leaving one of the worst testimonies of how a natural phenomenon of this type impacts the urban area.
In markets such as the United States, platforms such as shake outwhich launched the campaign “Earthquake Safety PSA – Ad Council”starring The Rock, who appears in the role of Ray from the tape “Earthquake: the San Andreas fault” (San Andreas, by its English title).
“The earthquakes we see in movies are not like earthquakes in real life. In the event of a real earthquake, drop, cover and hold on”, explains the actor within the publicity piece.
An interesting conclusion that we can make from this type of phenomenon is the importance of technology to deal with such situations, not only with protocols, but also with technology through applications certified by authorities, to have full confidence that they can be used. with complete confidence.
