Abstract
Various large and small earthquakes have occurred in our world from the past to the present, and they will continue to do so. . When the earth's plates move against each other, pressure is exerted on the lithosphere. As a result, the plates in the earth's crust exert forces on themselves and each other as they move. When the force is large enough, the shell is forced to break. In our study, information will be presented about the history of earthquakes in the world and in Türkiye, deaths as a result of deadly destructive disasters, the effects of earthquakes on the country's economy, and the measures to be taken from the policies taken by the state regarding earthquakes. As a limitation of the study, earthquake geology and engineering are out of the scope of the study. Since there is no technology to prevent earthquakes, living with the reality of earthquakes and living in accordance with public and private rules can reduce the risk of destructive and deadly disasters.
