Following the devastating earthquakes that struck Turkey in early February, landslides have begun to occur. Scientists using satellite images are working to locate the slides, and the danger of landmines and debris is looming. Researchers are trying to identify the reactivity and width of graphene’s boundary region in order to create safer buildings and infrastructure.
Since the devastating earthquakes occurred in Turkey, more than 100 landslides have struck the country. These landslides have caused extensive damage and loss of life. The landslides have been caused by the severe earthquake damage, and the movement of water and soil. The landslides have also blocked roads and hindered relief efforts.
