Claim: The Missyaf Fault, which is located north of Yammouneh Fault, is the location where the 115 Antioch earthquake was identified and is most likely responsible for the 1170 Syria Earthquake.
Evidence: This fault segment, also known as the Ghab fault, runs for about 70 km from the northern end of the Yammouneh fault into the Ghab basin. The results of trenching over the northern part of the Dead Sea Transform indicate that three major earthquakes have occurred along the Missyaf segment of the fault since about 100 AD, the earliest of which may correlate with the 115 earthquake. The Missyaf Fault is considered the most likely structure responsible for the 1170 event.
