Beneath the beautiful city of Istanbul, a hidden geological danger lies beneath the Sea of Marmara. 🌊

Deep underwater, the North Anatolian Fault marks a boundary where tectonic forces slowly build and release enormous amounts of energy. Scientists are closely monitoring this region because a powerful earthquake could threaten Istanbul and surrounding coastal areas.

But there's another mystery: could an underwater landslide trigger dangerous waves if a major earthquake strikes?

The ground may look peaceful, but deep beneath the surface, the planet is constantly moving. Scientists cannot predict exactly when the next major earthquake will happen—but the risk is real.

How much danger can remain hidden beneath a peaceful city?

Watch until the end, and discover the forces hiding beneath Istanbul.
