The earthquake measured 7.1 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of X (''Extreme''). A damaging foreshock occurred fifteen hours prior to the main event and served as a warning to the villages that felt it strongly. Up to 3,000 fatalities may have occurred in western Iran and eastern Turkey. Sixty villages (including the large settlement of Dilman, which was relocated and rebuilt as Salmas) were destroyed in the Salmas Plain and in the surrounding mountainous regions. A destructive aftershock sequence affected many villages, and in some cases, damage was inflicted on some that had escaped devastation during the mainshock. An inspection of the region was undertaken, but not until decades later, at which time substantial surface faulting and other ground effects were documented. == Preface == The epicentral area in the Salmas Plain covers and is positioned northwest of Lake Urmia. This area had been inhabited primarily by Christians for about a thousand years prior to the event (which was one of the strongest earthquakes to occur in Iran since 1900). The mountainous areas surrounding the plain are extremely isolated with villages (comprising mainly Kurdish people) that are spread far apart. Mountain villagers sustained themselves primarily on wheat and cattle farming. To the west near the Turkish border lies Aravil Dagi, a volcano that is the highest peak in the region. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1930 Salmas earthquake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
