The seismic tremors in the sea area south, southwest of New Moudania that shook Kassandra of Halkidiki, but also several areas of Macedonia, are likely to have caused disturbance, however, as the Professor of Geophysics of the AUTH, Kostas Papazachos, reported to APE BEE, they should not cause any particular worry.

“It is a low area seismicityboth from the instrumental evidence – since we have seismographs, from the 20th century onwards – and before, there are no historical descriptions of strong earthquakes in the region, nor historical descriptions of disastershe emphasized, describing the earthquake as “small”. “It is not an earthquake that should cause particular concern, it is in an area of ​​low seismicity. Because the area is marine, we do not have a good picture of the faults, etc. and we rely exclusively on seismological data. And these figures speak of an area of ​​low seismicity without strong earthquakes» pointed out the professor of Geophysics.

However, Mr. Papazachos clarified that “ia we have a fairly significant post-seismic sequence, demanding, which means that the residents from Nea Playa in the area of ​​Sani, Siviri, Kassandra in general will “shake” for a while, they will feel several aftershocks. Already, there have been many aftershocks.

We will monitor the phenomenon in the coming days, but due to the history of the area, this post-seismic sequence cannot be evaluated as particularly alarming, it seems a normal sequence that has a serious chance of ending smoothly in the next period. Of course, we will have many aftershocks“, concluded Mr. Papazachos.
