Abbreviations: EAF: East Anatolian Fault, NAF: North Anatolian Fault, LF: Levant Fault, CSZ: Cyprus Subduction Zone, HSZ: Hellenic Subduction Zone, AB: Adana Basin, CB: Cilicia Basin b) Tectonic structures and GNSS sites around the region. Structures digitized from Emre et al. (2013, 2018); Şengör and Zabci (2019), the structures around Adana/Cilicia basins are taken from Aksu et al., 2005; Burton-Ferguson et al., 2005; Aksu et al., 2014a, 2021, and cited studies therein). The main boundaries are represented with thicker lines. Focal mechanisms belong to 06 Feb 2023 Mw=7.8 and Mw=7.6 Kahramanmaraş Pazarcik and Elbistan earthquakes. The surface rupture geometry, shown in yellow lines, is taken from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) with Data Release (doi: 10.5066/P985I7U2). Abbreviations: K=Kahramanmaraş triple junction, H=Hatay triple junction, KF: Kyrenia Fault, CF: Cardak Fault, MF: Malatya Fault, EF: Ecemiş Fault, KOF: Karatas-Osmaniye Fault, TGF: Tuz Gölü Fault, KZF: Kozan Fault, PF: Paphos Fault, ES: Eratosthenes seamount, IGS: International GNSS Service, TCGN: Turkey Continuous GNSS Network, TFGN: Turkey Fundamental GNSS Network, CYPOS: Cyprus Positioning System. We consistently employ the same abbreviations throughout all figures in this text, adhering to those presented in this figure, as necessary.
