Desperate searches for survivors from multiple earthquakes that rocked Turkey and Syria over the past 48-hours continued Tuesday with the discovery of more bodies taking the death toll past 5,000.

There are fears that toll will rise inexorably, with some relief agency officials estimating up to 20,000 may have died, AFP reports.

The initial earthquake was so large it was felt as far away as Greenland, and the impact is big enough to have sparked a global response.

(this kind of thing can make conditions for war riper)

earthquakes continually occur on the two major fault lines which is Africa pushing down under europe.

just below turkey across the sea is Africa, the african plate is well known to "quickly on the move" north-east. infact one documentary says water is drying up in places due to massive geologic changes. (the landscape in those areas has shown marked visual change). most prominently, the Alpine Mountains (ie Switzerland's impassible border to Italy) are from the same massive continental plate motion. This large plate also hits India causing quakes.

Just East of Africa is a smaller plate having Madagascar on it - which is "moving at a rapid rate" more than anything around it that scientists newly have their eye on.

"The northern part of the plate is a convergent boundary where the African plate is subducting below the Eurasian plate."

So where there's subduction not far away there are volcanos?

Yes, in both africa and turkey. Active ones.

520px-Cypress_structure.jpeg California 1989

(double deck highway collaps of top deck onto lower)

In comparison, this 7 magnitude* earthquake, much less than 7.5, in California 1989 was considered serious. While newer buildings did better due to california's strict code: many historic and older building collapsed. The great San Fran quake was 7.9 (though fake photos were sent to DC for insurance reasons, was discovered and publicized much later)

(infact california's worst faults have been quiet lately if ridgecrest 7.1 in 2019 is not considered heavily; the fear of a big one coming along as a result of the quiet period ... may be true)
