Track the latest earthquakes in Turkey in real time. This page provides up-to-date information about seismic activity across Turkey’s most active fault zones, including details on magnitude, depth, epicenter, and time of occurrence. Data is refreshed continuously from official national and international seismic monitoring centers.
Turkey is one of the world’s most earthquake-prone countries, situated on the Anatolian Plate, between the Eurasian and Arabian Plates. The North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) and the East Anatolian Fault (EAF) are responsible for many of the powerful earthquakes that have shaped the nation’s landscape and history. From the devastating 1999 İzmit earthquake to recent seismic events in Kahramanmaraş and Elazığ, each incident has deepened scientific understanding and strengthened national resilience.
Modern Turkey enforces strict earthquake-resistant construction standards to protect lives and infrastructure. After major quakes, significant improvements were made to building codes, urban planning, and emergency response systems. Today, cities such as Istanbul, Izmir, and Ankara are continually enhancing earthquake readiness through early warning systems, retrofitting projects, and public awareness campaigns.
Our real-time monitoring system lists every recent earthquake detected within Turkey and its neighboring regions.

Stay informed and track the ongoing seismic activity that shapes Turkey’s diverse geography.
Turkey’s position between major tectonic plates causes continuous crustal movement and tension. The North Anatolian Fault, running from the Aegean Sea to eastern Turkey, releases this energy through frequent tremors. While many are minor, stronger earthquakes remind residents of the importance of preparedness, monitoring, and building resilience.
