A series of strong earthquakes of magnitude up to 5 on the Richter scale in the south of Evia on Tuesday caused concern among seismologists, according to them, the earthquake was the result of the appearance of a new, previously unknown fault in the earth’s crust. An evening earthquake of magnitude 5 (according to other […]
The SVT publication reports that several Swedish monitoring stations registered powerful underwater explosions in the area of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines on Monday. – There is no doubt that explosions are happening, says Bjorn Lund, associate professor of seismology at the Swedish National Seismic Network SNSN. The triple gas leak on […]
The probability that an earthquake of magnitude 6.0, 6.5 or 6.6 will occur in the Florina area in the next 100 years is 69%, 30% and 25% respectively,” said ΑΠΘ seismology professor Theodoros Tzapanos. The presentation of the results of the research program “Analysis and registration of local seismic hazard in the area of the […]

The townspeople are alarmed by the seismic shocks that have occurred in the capital of Greece in recent months. “Memories of the Past” (the catastrophic earthquake that occurred on September 7, 1999, the vibration of which was 5.3 Richter) in the inhabitants of Athens caused a series of small tremors. At the end of September […]

According to the revised decision of the Geodynamic Institute, the earthquake had a focal depth of 8.2 kilometers and occurred 23 kilometers east of Zakros. It is noted that the initially automatic […]
Gerasimos Houliaras, Director of Research at the Geodynamic Institute of Athens, spoke on ERT about the intense seismic activity that has recently been observed in Greece. “The earthquakes on Nisyros are tectonic in nature. The sequence dates back to last year on a tectonic fault. The largest earthquake in the series is June, with a […]
