evidence: Other geological hazards were also noted as a result of the earthquakes; with a heightened risk of landslip for many hillsides in the region, liquefaction for certain geologies posing a higher risk to buildings (a major cause of damage during the 1999 Izmit earthquake in Turkey), tsunami risk in the Mediterranean Sea (a 30cm tsunami was recorded at Erdemli in Turkey following the Mw7.8 event, according to USGS and IOC), and subsidence of coastal areas causing flooding ~200m inland4.
