Curtin expert explains devastating Turkey, Syria earthquakes

A pair of earthquakes has devastated Turkey and Syria, leaving more than 4000 people dead and 11,000 injured.

The first quake, near Gaziantep close to the Syrian border, measured 7.8 in magnitude and was felt as far away as the UK. The second occurred nine hours later, registering a magnitude of 7.5.

Curtin University Adjunct Professor in the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences Chris Elders joined Fiona Bartholomaeus for On The Record to explain the impact of the earthquake and why it happened.
