The famous seismologist οασπ Mr. Lexas made a statement after today's Earthquakes by force 6.1 points On the Richter scale between Kasos and Carpathos:
“The main characteristic of this large push is that the depth of the hearth is 60 kilometers. As a result, according to the initial data, we do not feel any significant consequences, although, of course, we do not have a complete picture. ”
The second important element, according to him, is that at this depth of the earthquake occur once, that is, without repetitions. There is neither a big spouse sequence, nor a large post -Smic sequence, that is, these earthquakes occur on their own.
The President of οασπ emphasized that “this is an earthquake that occurred on the Greek arc, that is, where European and African plates are faced”:
“There is absolutely no connection with the earthquakes that we have on Santorini, the geotectonic structure is completely different, and, of course, there is absolutely no connection with the earthquake that we had in Turkey. The geodynamic context is completely different, we are directly on the Greek arc, while the earthquakes on Santorini occur in a completely different environment in the volcanic arc, and earthquakes in Turkey occur along the Anatolian fault, so there is absolutely no connection. I believe that this earthquake will not follow a rich sequence of aphtershoks, and it cannot be considered a force of a larger earthquake, because it is 60 kilometers that characterizes it. We will not have a post -Small sequence. ”
Nevertheless, two underground shocks off the coast of Kasos, where a powerful earthquake of magnitude 6.1 points on the Richter scale occurred, are recorded later. In the sea area between Kasos and Carpatos, an underground impetus of a magnitude of 3.4 on the Richter scale occurred. The epicenter of underground shocks was 14 km southwest of the casa, the depth of the hearth was 22.1 km. A little earlier, at 03:30 in the morning, 13 km north of the kasos, another apothershk was recorded with a magnitude of 2.8 with a depth of the focus of 6.3 km.
But what the seismologist γεράσιμος χουλιάρας says: says:
