The world map was again frightened by a great earthquake, which occurred in a country often tried. Which is the country where a new earthquake of over 6 degrees occurred. Last minute announcement, people are panicking.
Earthquake of over 6 degrees in a country. The population panicked
An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 was recorded on Friday afternoon by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC).
The magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred off the coast of Japan, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC).
Where was the epicenter of the earthquake
The epicenter of the earthquake was recorded 37 kilometers east of Narita, in the metropolitan area of Tokyo, at a depth of 60 kilometers.
For the moment, no possible damage or human casualties have been reported, nor has a tsunami alert been issued, according to the Baha news agency.
The last two major earthquakes occurred in Turkey on February 6 this year. The earthquakes had a magnitude of 7.8 degrees and 7.7 degrees, respectively. Unfortunately, 54,000 people lost their lives in the two earthquakes.
When Romania could be hit by a big earthquake
On the other hand, Romania has been spared from such large earthquakes, but experts claim that luck will run out once and for all. Thus, a big earthquake would hit our country.
“I took care of all the earthquakes that happened after 1700. In Romania there were big earthquakes in 1738, 1838, 1940. The next big earthquake would be over 100 years from now. There was another very big and deep earthquake in 1802. It was felt strongly, from Moscow to Cairo, in Egypt and no one died. Here was the great curiosity.
The last big earthquake, the one in 1977
It was even on Saint Parascheva’s day. In Bucharest, almost all the churches were razed to the ground. The earthquake of 1977 was a big one and it is not included in the normal statistics, but we need to know one thing, because it is a result of the earthquake of 1940, which was very big. All the big buildings in Bucharest were heavily affected.
Deep earthquakes, the most dangerous
In Romania, this is not the case of surface earthquakes. Romania has very small surface earthquakes. Every day we have two or three. The problem arises in the case of very deep earthquakes, over 100 km, because they are the ones that cause disasters.
Only after 1964 was the problem of designing anti-seismic buildings in Romania. I can tell you this for sure, because I was a student”, declared Gheorghe Mărmureanu, former head of the National Research and Development Institute for Earth Physics.
