The Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute Regional Earthquake-Tsunami Monitoring and Evaluation Center of Boğaziçi University has shared its 4th report with the public regarding the earthquake swarms occurring in the Aegean Sea.
1,513 EARTHQUAKES IN A WEEK
According to the statement from the observatory, nearly 1,513 earthquakes occurred in the region within the last week. It was noted that the largest of the tremors was 5.3 in magnitude, and it was emphasized that 108 earthquakes of magnitude 4 and above were recorded.
"TAKING NECESSARY MEASURES AGAINST TSUNAMI IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE"
In the assessment, it was stated, "The seismic activity and magma dynamics observed in the region are directly related to the major eruptions and earthquakes experienced in the past. The Santorini-Amorgos fault line has the potential to cause major destructive earthquakes. It is of great importance to take necessary measures against tsunamis that may be triggered by earthquakes, landslides, etc. that may occur in the region."
REGION AT RISK OF TSUNAMI IDENTIFIED
Additionally, it was pointed out that there is a possibility of tsunami danger between 1 to 3 meters in the Gulf of Antalya and the Kaş peninsula. The report included the following statements: "In the Central and Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea, the Hellenic Arc, its surroundings, and the Southern Mediterranean and North African coasts have a high tsunami risk (Hw > 3 m), while the Southern Aegean, Tripoli, Eastern Sicily, Southern Italy, Western Greece, the western and southern coasts of Cyprus, the region between the Kaş peninsula and the Gulf of Antalya in Turkey, and Egypt have a significant (1m < Hw < 3 m) level of possible tsunami risk."
