Abstract
The September 26, 2019 Silivri earthquake (MW=5.6-5.8) occurred along the North Anatolian Fault Zone segments extending beneath the Marmara Sea. In the present study the teleseismic P waveforms and 20-year long background seismicity of the earthquake (MW=5.6-5.8) have been analyzed. Point-source inversion of the teleseismic P waveforms revealed that the earthquake was due to oblique faulting and released a seismic moment of 3.2 x 1017 Nm (MW=5.6). The frequency-magnitude distributions (FMDs) for the background seismicity have been calculated after the 1999 İzmit earthquake. The considerable decrease of b-value of the FMD before the 2019 Silivri earthquake has been interpreted as stress increase along the fault segments.
