The small Turkish micro plate is bounded on the east by the East Anatolian fault zone (EAFZ), on the north by the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ), on the west by a diffuse zone of deformation surrounding the greater Aegean region, and on the south by the Hellenic and Cyprus arcs.
The Turkish Straits (made up of the Straits of Bosphorus and the Dardanelles) and the Sea of Marmara also mark the border between the continents of Europe and Asia. Most of Turkey (97%) is located in Asia. Most of the people in Turkey are Muslims, and the country's official language is Turkish. The Turks first migrated to the area in the 11th century. Beginning in the 13th century, the entire area was part of the vast Ottoman Empire, which finally collapsed after being defeated in World War I.
