ATAG 23 20th Anniversary o f the 1999 Marmara Earthquakes
A case study for re-evaluation of historical earthquakes: 1789 Palu
(Elazig) Earthquake, East Anatolia, Turkey
Mehmet Kokum (1), Fatih Oz9elik (2)
(1) Firat University, Department o f Geological Engineering, Elazig, Turkey
(2) Firat University, Department o f History, Elazig, Turkey
The East Anatolian Fault (EAF) is a left lateral active strike-slip fault,
extending from Karliova (Bingol) at the northeast through iskenderun Gulf at the
southwest. Palu (Elazig), which is the subject of the study area, is located on the EAF.
The Palu Fault is about 70 km long and it reaches the Hazar Lake over the Balta§
Plain. During the instrumental period, the biggest earthquake occurred on March 26,
1977 with magnitude of 5.2 and 9 people lost their lives. According to the historical
period records, the largest earthquake affecting Palu occurred in 1789 and is
estimated to be magnitude of 7, which caused 51000 casualties. Taylesanizade Hafiz
Abdullah Efendi’s book with the title of ‘Long Four Year Istanbul (1785-1789)’
suggests the number of dead is about “8.000-10.000’’.
In this study, the Ottoman Archives in Prime Ministry, the Ottoman Law
Records and related books are studied in order to reveal the effects of the Palu
Earthquake. Although there is an earthquake occurred in Palu in the light of the data,
we suggest that the size of the earthquake and the numbers about loss of life are
exaggerated in previous studies.
