Earthquakes in Santorini: “positive evolution the 4.9 Richter – Removes script of a strong earthquake”

As a positive assessed the evolution of the seismic sequence in and the fact that they reach 4.9 Richter, Athanasius Ganas, Director of Research of the Geodynamic Institute, as as said practically this shows that it is a swarm. Athanasios Ganas, speaking to ERT, noted that the adverse scenario for a strong earthquake in Santorini that could potentially cause tsunami and landslides is removed. CORVERSE “The seismic activity has shifted to the Anhydro island,” said Athanasios Ganas, noted that “this morning there was a 4.8-degree earthquake of the Richter Scale and a 4.9 at 04:45”. As Mr. Ganas stressed, it is unknown how long the seismic sequence will last by saying “this is something that happens for the first time in Greece”. He pointed out that within 72 hours we have over 41 earthquakes over 4.5 Richter. CORVERSE He stressed that scientists miss the emergence of a larger earthquake: “We cannot know the earthquake in which fault it will occur. There is also a candidate fault right now that is near Anhydrus and is 15 km long and which if this breaks it can give an earthquake of 6 Richter.” In fact, as he said, “we don’t want this scenario, because if there is an earthquake a tsunami can be created and landslides in the caldera of Santorini and also have activation of the Columbus volcano.”
