Talk:859 Syrian coast earthquake

Title
Syria has a mediterranean coast and no others, so it should be 859 Syrian coast earthquake. Mikenorton (talk) 20:58, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Ambraseys locates it offshore in the Gulf of Antioch. Dawnseeker2000  21:16, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * NOAA have it on the coast ca. 30 km north of Lattakia and CFTI5MED have it at Lattakia. As the worst of the effects seem to have been in the coastal towns of Syria, I'm personally happy enough with using "coast" in the title. Sbeinati et al. pp 366–367 just say probably between Lattakia and Antioch (assuming that there were two separate earthquakes). Mikenorton (talk) 13:14, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
