The ongoing seismic vibrations in Euboea which have also shocking Attica, they have caused concern for experts.
It is noted how a new earthquake occurred at dawn 4.5 Richter to Prokopi of Euboea.
At the same time as the powerful earthquake of 6.1 degrees of the previous week In Kaso, The seismology professor Gerasimos Papadopoulos He was alarming the alarm after the earthquake in Euboea, because of “Seismic apnea”. As he said during his interview with Alpha Radio 98.9 and Nikos Panagiotopoulosthis has been a phenomenon for three years that appears to be in rise and can also give an earthquake of up to 6 Richter.
Listen to the interview:
Professor of Geology and President of OASP Mr. Efthymios Lekkas He spoke to ERT about the ongoing seismic vibrations in northern Euboea.
“It is the third earthquake over 4 Richter in the last 24 hours of the seismic activity. As I had pointed out from the beginning We would have such earthquakes of 4 and 5 Richter for the next few days. We say this because we had the same image in previous seismic excavations.
The tectonic regime of the area is such that it gives us this image. That is, earthquakes from 4 to 5 Richter that evolve within three and five days.
I do not think there is a particular cause of concern but we are watching the evolution of the phenomenon. The necessary instructions have been given to residents and authorities in the area. I think the sizes will remain at this level, ”said Mr. Lekka
Seismologist Akis Zelentis It warns that “the likelihood of having a relatively strong earthquake of 5.5R is possible.”
The Celendi Post:
“An earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale (13km depth) occurred at 03.23 Monday morning in Evia. Is the third earthquake over 4 in the last 24 hours,
These earthquakes occurred in the same zone in which a 5.1 -magnitude Richter scale had been recorded in November 2023. The new vibrations took place in a part of this zone that had not yet been broken by 2023.
Caution is needed by residents specifically for those who live in old houses or houses that have failures (cracks) and do not enter if they do not have the agreement of OASP engineers who have arrived in the area. The possibility of having a relatively strong earthquake of 5.5R is possible (for greater). This will have a serious impact on the area’s already overwhelmed building fabric and some collapses of very old already burdened houses.
Although a branch of the Bishop of Anatolia, which gave Turkey’s earthquake (6.2r), passes near the focal area, earthquakes in Evia have nothing to do with Turkey’s recent earthquake. “
