One of the main headings of the last days Greece‘of Santorini There were earthquakes on the island. The island is swinging with earthquakes one after the other. Despite the days passed, neither the frequency of earthquakes decreased, nor the severity fell. The people of the region began to escape with anxiety. Experts were turned to experts about how long the earthquakes will last.
LAST SITUATION IN THE REGION
Greek Geological and Natural Disaster Management Specialist Professor Efthimios Lekkas, in the region earthquake He made statements about the storm. Lekkas said that the earthquakes will continue, ‘There should be no escape panic’ he said.
Lekkas’ statements are as follows;
“We were invited to a meeting between the ministry by our Minister. This morning at 04.40, an earthquake of 4.9 magnitude occurred according to the Richter scale.
“Earthquake storm will continue”
The evening was relatively calm, but then there was an upward rise. We estimate that the earthquake storm will continue in the coming days.
“I would like to have an earthquake of 5.2”
I would like to have an earthquake of 5.2-5.3 magnitude according to the Richter scale to disintegrate the forces more quickly. We estimate that there will be no effect on the island, as an earthquake of 5.5.
Is there an earthquake 6 and above?
6 size and over the scenario is low. Santorini residents may feel safe. There shouldn’t be so much escape panic. I saw that foreigners working here mostly leave. These earthquakes occur at a depth of 15 kilometers. It is important to us which depth the earthquake occurs.
Research Continues
It is important, because we detect the seismic fault and this is important, because there is a complex fault and the precision calculation of the fault makes it easier for us to interpret it. “
