The Anatolian side of Turkey is the largest portion in the country[1] that bridges southeastern Europe and west Asia. East Thrace, the European portion of Turkey comprises 3%[2] of the country and 10%[2] of its population. East Thrace is separated from Asia Minor, the Asian portion of Turkey, by the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles.[3] İskilip, Çorum province, is considered to be the geographical center of Earth.[4] Turkey is very vulnerable to earthquakes.
