The earth in Italy has shaken over 300 times. Big anxiety in cities
A series of shocks in Italy worried residents and tourists. They noticed that such an intense phenomenon has not been there for several decades. Some have already started to run away from their homes.
Earthquakes always arouse anxiety and often force the residents of Santorini quite recently. Similar actions have already been recorded in other places around the world. Evacuations were organized due to the risk of a volcano explosion or tsunami wave impact. Too late initiating rescue operations could lead to the death of many people. This time, the difficult situation is not known to Italy.
Strong shocks in Italy
The worst was to be in the vicinity of Naples and the Flelegrean field volcano. Initially, the effects of seismic activity were felt in two zones in the Bay of Pozzuola and the Solfatar-Pisciarelli region. Anxiety has been talked about the threat in these territories, but now anxiety has increased again. It is estimated that more than 350 earthquakes per day were registered inside the phlegrean fields, volcanic caldera.
The case is investigated by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV). Experts inform that the magnitude of the strongest shocks was 3.9. They emphasize that we are talking about the phenomenon of bradyseism, they exclude that the effect of shocks should be the coming eruption of the volcano. The problem is that currently in the region there is a slow and cyclical rising and lowering of the area. Current shocks are to be the result of the severity of the phenomenon.
In recent years, a similar series of shocks have already been noticed, but they have never lasted so long. “In terms of duration and number of events, this is one of the largest swarms that took place inside the caldera in the last 40 years,” said Il Mondo dei Terremoti.
Italians start evacuating
People living in the aforementioned area have lived in fear for several days. They began to take care of their safety on their own, but a number of restrictions were also introduced by local authorities. The Italian Ansa agency reported that schools were closed in and around. In addition, lodging houses for people who were afraid of staying at home were opened in Pozzuola and Bacola. Some residents reported that they slept in cars.
Is anxiety right? According to scientists, there is no question of anomalies yet. The services monitor the situation and convey calming news. “Currently, all parameters, except for seismic activity, remain normal and do not show any anomalies. The rising of the ground progresses at a rate of about 10 millimeters per month, and the flow in the main fumarols returned to levels two weeks ago after a small, temporary decline. The concentrations of emitted gases also do not show significant deviations compared to typical anomalies, “INGV says.
