Question about English (US)
Hello friends, could you help me, please?
August 17th, 1999 was the time at which a major earthquake destroyed much of Kocaeli in Türkiye.
In this sentence why do we use 'at which'?
Why don't we use just 'which' ?

we don't. we say "when" or "on which"
Also it should be "day" or "date" not "time"
"August 17th, 1999 was the day when a major earthquake..."
