After thousands of small earthquakes in the region around the Greek island of Santorini, scientists registered a kind of permanent earthquake on Saturday evening. It is believed that liquid magma causes the underground earthquakes.
“There is a more or little continuous vibration in the Santorini region,” said the European-Mediterrane Seismological Center (EMSC) on the Platform X (see Tweet below). The earthquake lasted a few hours.
The researchers of the Emsc suspect that liquid magma causes the underground phenomenon. But you couldn’t say that. “These liquid increases can take place in the crust of the earth and are not necessarily a sign of an outbreak,” they added to X.
Athanasios Ganas, research director of the Geodynamic Institute Athens, also told the newspaper “To Proto Topic”: “They are many micro-potatoes that are probably caused by the movement of volcanic fluids.”
The earth has been disturbing for weeks
The earth northeast of Santorini has been extinguishing for weeks. Most people have now left the island. Until now, experts have not seen any evidence of a big eruption.
Such permanent earthquakes were already registered in 2011 and 2012 – without consequences, geologist Evi Nomikou from the University of Athens on Facebook.
