An Entity of Type: earthquake, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1766 Istanbul earthquake was a strong earthquake with epicenter in the eastern part of the Sea of Marmara, in the Çınarcık Basin (or near the Princes' Islands, north of the basin) which occurred in the early hours of Thursday morning, 22 May 1766. The earthquake had an estimated magnitude of 7.1 on the surface wave magnitude scale, and caused effects in a vast area extending from Izmit to Rodosto (now Tekirdağ). In this area, the earthquake was followed by a tsunami which caused significant damage. The earthquake of 1766 was the last major earthquake to rock Constantinople (now known in English under its Turkish name, Istanbul) because of a rupture of the North Anatolian Fault in the Marmara region.

  • Das Erbeben von Istanbul im Jahr 1766 war ein starkes Erdbeben im östlichen Marmarameer nahe den Prinzeninseln in den frühen Morgenstunden des 22. Mai 1766. Das Erdbeben hatte eine Magnitude von 7,1 MS, und führte zu starken Schäden in der Küstenregion zwischen İzmit und Tekirdağ. In dieser Gegend folgte auf das Erdbeben ein Tsunami mit weiteren Zerstörungen. Das Erdbeben war das letzte schwere Beben in Istanbul und wurde von einem Bruch in der Nordanatolischen Verwerfung verursacht. (de)

  • Il terremoto di Istanbul del 1766 fu un forte terremoto con epicentro nella parte orientale del Mar di Marmara, nel bacino di Çınarcık (oppure vicino alle isole dei Principi, a nord del bacino) avvenuto nelle prime ore del mattino di giovedì, 22 maggio 1766. Il sisma ebbe una magnitudine stimata di 7,1 sulla scala di magnitudo delle onde superficiali, e causò effetti in una vasta zona estesa da İzmit a Tekirdağ. In quest'area al terremoto si accompagnò un maremoto e si verificarono danni significativi. Il sisma del 1766 è stato l'ultimo grande terremoto a colpire Istanbul a causa di una rottura della faglia anatolica settentrionale nella regione di Marmara. (it)
