It had an estimated magnitude of 7.4 w yes and a maximum intensity of X (Extreme) on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale, causing from 216 to 3,000 casualties.Significant Earthquake Information https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/hazel/view/hazards/earthquake/event-more-info/2955 NGDC National Geophysical Data Center / World Data Service (NGDC/WDS): Significant Earthquake Database. National Geophysical Data Center, NOAA. 1972 National Geophysical Data Center, NOAA 10.7289/V5TD9V7K 28 August 2010 Earthquake The earthquake was associated with faulting along the Ganos Fault, a segment of the North Anatolian Fault. Geologic trenching revealed coseismic offsets occurred along the entire 45 km onshort section of the Ganos Fault. These right-lateral displacements reached up to 5.5 m. For its surface-wave magnitude (s 7.3–7.4), its corresponding rupture length would be approximately 135 ± 25 km. This implied the offshore segments east and west of the onshore Ganos Fault also ruptured. In the Marmara Sea, young fault scarps and right-lateral offsets up to 6 m were found. West of the Ganos Fault is the Saros Fault that lies beneath a bay; estimates of the Saros Fault rupture are between 20 km and 50 km. Meanwhile, another 30–60 km of rupture may have extended eastwards into the Marmara Sea.Aksoy M.E.

Evidence of landslides from the 1912 event was found at the southern edge of the Tekirdağ Basin. In the Bosporus Strait, the tsunami destroyed a yacht located at Paşabahçe.Altinok Y. Alpar B.
