Seismologists continue to follow extensively this rare phenomenon for Greece, looking for answers
There is no end to the agony of the inhabitants of Santorini, Amorgos and the other islands in the Cyclades that live in the rhythm of Enceladus for another day. The strongest earthquake to date occurred at 9:09 pm on Wednesday night southwest of Amorgos and was 5.2 on the Richter scale, while an earthquake of 4.7 on the Richter scale occurred in the maritime area between Santorini and Amorgos shortly before at 8pm.

According to a study by the University of Athens, above 6.400 earthquakes They have been noted in the Santorini – Amorgos zone from January 26th to February 3. Of these earthquakes, 800 were over 2.5 degrees on the Richter scale.
At the same time, it is emphasized that the seismic activity so far in the Santorini-Amorgos zone is probably bearing the characteristics of an earthquake, as there is no earthquake clearly larger than all others, which could be described as the main earthquake.
At the same time, the island of Santorini and Amorgos have been deserted as there are few who have chosen to stay in their homes and businesses along with the few tourists.
Enceladus continues to hit the area with the seismic sequence remaining intense and stable.
Dozens of weak earthquakes were also recorded on Wednesday night, with the largest recorded after 04:00 in the morning and only a few minutes apart.
Specifically, according to the Athens Geodynamic Institute, at 04:02, another size of size 4.2 of The Richter scale and a focal depth of 15.5km, upset the remaining residents.
At 04:24, the largest seismic vibration of today, tension 4.5 degrees of the Richter scale with a focal depth of 10 km and just 3 minutes later, at 04:27, an earthquake of tension 4.4 of the Richter scale with a focal depth of 10 km.
A few minutes later and with a difference of one minute, two more seismic vibrations were recorded over 4 degrees: at 04:44, an earthquake of tension 4.1 degrees of the Richter scale with a focal depth of 10 km and at 04:45, an earthquake of tension 4.2 of of the Richter scale with a focal depth of 11.1 km.
Seismologists continue to follow this rare phenomenon for Greece extensively, seeking answers as to whether an earthquake is coming or how long this constant seismic activity will last.
