Another powerful quake hits Turkey; is it only the beginning? | Expert Analysis

Michael Hamburger, a professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Indiana University claims that the second earthquake in the Turkey-Syria region is part of what is typically described as an aftershock sequence in the aftermath of a major earthquake. After an event of the likes of the Turkey-Syria magnitude 7.8 earthquake two weeks ago, it is very much expected that there will be a sequence of earthquakes in the weeks and months following, typically with gradually decaying severity.
