The professor of seismology of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (APTH), Manolis Skordilis, spoke about them and argued that the fault is capable of justifying an earthquake of more than 6 Richter. The professor of the AUTH speaking at ThessToday characterizes the situation as “extremely serious” and according to scientific models, the intense seismic activity observed in the last 24 hours, has occurred in a space that in the past has manifested earthquakes over 7 Richter. An example is the earthquake 7,3 Richter in Amorgos, July 9, 1956. CORVERSE “The length of space is so long that it would justify an earthquake of over 6 Richter. And things are even more serious because we are not seeing a recession. On the contrary: yesterday and today there was an outbreak with at least 10 earthquakes with 4+ Richter,” he said features and completed: “the space has been stimulated. Currently the seismic rift is 20 km” According to the experienced seismologist, the core of seismic activity has nothing to do with the volcanoes of the island. “The earthquakes are observed on the tectonic fault, which leaves northeast to Santorini,” he noted, while adding that citizens must follow the rules of the seismic protection organisation closely.
