Афтершоки землетрясения 17 августа 1999 г.
По данным NEIC, USGS
On 19 August at 14:16 and 15:18 UTC (5:16 and 6:18 PM local
time), two light-to-moderate earthquakes with magnitudes of 4.8 and 5.0
occurred approximately 80 km to the west of the mainshock.
Previous aftershocks of this size were centered to the east of the
mainshock, further from the cities of Bursa and Istanbul. While this
suggests the possibility of a larger earthquake occurring in this new
location, it is also probable that the mainshock rupture
extended into this region, into the Gulf of Izmit, making these events
aftershocks. We have no means of predicting the likelihood of a larger
event in this new location.
