There is a risk of volcanic eruption in Turkish province of Mugla close to
Marmaris, reported on Thursday. This was stated by scientists of Maltepe
University. Some 12 scientists, carrying out research in the coastal
Mediterranean area for several months found that there is a risk of an
underwater volcano eruption as a result of numerous earthquakes in the
area. A crater was also found at a depth of 25 metres under water. Turkey
is located in a seismically active zone. The most powerful vibrations of
the earth's crust in this country occurred in the Marmara Sea in 1999. The
magnitude of the tremors was 7.4. About 18,000 people were killed in the
earthquake.
