The earthquake destroyed the towns of Amasya and Çorum, killing at least 60,000 people.National Geophysical Data Center / World Data Service (NGDC/WDS) https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/hazel/view/hazards/earthquake/event-more-info/10616 Global Significant Earthquake Database 1972 NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information 22 July 2022 10.7289/V5TD9V7K National Geophysical Data Center A tsunami accompanied the shock, drowning many people along the Black Sea coast of present-day Turkey. Several thousand people drowned when the tsunami advanced towards coastal towns and villages. The tsunami inundated up to one mile inland. In the gulf between Sinop and Samsun, the tsunami had a wave height of 1 m. The tsunami is thought to be the result of a submarine landslide.Global Historical Tsunami Database https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/hazel/view/hazards/tsunami/event-more-info/5844 National Geophysical Data Center / World Data Service (NGDC/WDS) National Geophysical Data Center, NOAA 10.7289/V5PN93H7 1972 Data Set Little is known about the earthquake damage due to sparse historical records; the full extent of destruction is not known. It is thought to have been the result of rupture along the North Anatolian Fault but the specific segments which were involved could not be identified due to limited information. It is unlikely there was surface rupturing involved.Fraser J. Hubert-Ferrari A. Vanneste K. Altinok S. Drab L.
