Microseismic activity around the western extension of the 1967 Mudurnu Earthquake fault

A temporary microseismic network was installed with nine stations around the western extension of the 1967 Mudurnu Earthquake fault. The area studied is a part of one of the seismic gaps of the first kind along the North Anatolian Fault Zone. The fault zone branches into two fault zone in the area. It is found that the hypocentres are concentrated on the northern branch. It seems that the seismicity close to the western end of the 1967 Mudurnu Earthquake fault is dominated by normal faulting.
