Turkey Izmit Earthquake Photos Submerged street in Gölcük. Large parts of Gölcük, near the bay, were submerged due to settling caused by liquefaction (Photo: Tim Dawson).

A: Offset poles, where fault enters Izmit Bay from the east. Poles were offset about 2.2 meters, although there is a broader zone of deformation not shown on this photo (see next photo) (Photo: Tom Rockwell). B: Ground deformation where fault enters Izmit Bay. Additional right-lateral displacement is accommodated in this zone, in addition to that seen in the previous photo (Photo: Tom Rockwell).
