10 September 1509 - MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE HITS CONSTANTINOPLE: The North
Anatolian Fault releases 7.2 magnitudes of energy under the Sea of
Marmara close to the seat of the Ottoman Empire, Constantinople, in what
will one day be Turkey. The quake will earn its epithet, 'The Lesser
Judgment Day,' with its immediate destructiveness and 45 days of
seemingly endless aftershocks.

The site of Constantinople lies on the northern shore of the Sea of
Marmara, which is a pull-apart basin related to active faulting on a
series of segments of the North Anatolian Fault, the boundary between
the Anatolian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The fault zone accommodates approximately 24 mm per year of dextral (right lateral) displacement
along this boundary and has been responsible for many destructive
historical earthquakes, such as those in 1509 and 1766.
