For the Santorini volcano, the professor said that “Symptoms have begun and gives us symptoms” – but it excludes some big explosion
We must be prepared that the seismic sequence can last even months, he said, speaking to SKAI by Professor of Natural Disaster, Konstantinos Synolakis. At the same time, he said it was frivolous to have optimism, described the three possible scenarios, and insisted that the Santorini volcano should also be in the equation as it is not excluded, for the time being, the possibility of a small explosion.
Initially, Mr. Synolakis said: “You see how frivolous there were some seismologists who said ” we are doing better and we are optimistic ”. This is wrong because you can’t say that you are doing better with one day. Several days have to spend, earthquakes begin to decline … No one knows, we must be prepared that he can hold (the sequence). We can see it for months. “
The professor continued by saying that “The best scenario for all of us is to continue this flock and to have no further development”.
“What worries me the most is if we see the focus of earthquakes geographically start and spread. We still don’t see it. But another part that would be alarming would be to spread the focus, which means that the cracking area is even greater. “stressed by stressing that “There are too many faults and if you see the maps, they are on top of each other.”
For the volcano of Santorini Mr. Synolakis said that “The volcano from summer has begun and gives us some symptoms. It started to seem to be a move, which was bigger. From where the GPS showed 0, since the summer there is a slight movement that has so far reached 3 cm. This means that if we had the suspicion that the volcano could have been in a phase of waking, we have the same. Awakening does not mean that we will necessarily lead to an explosion and have a great explosion. “
Finally, he pointed out that There are three possible potential: “The righteous to end and to have nothing, the rise to lead to a larger earthquake and the righteous to lead to a small volcano explosion, something analogous we have seen in the last 100 years. We cannot exclude it. If I were in Santorini anyway I would worry about a bigger earthquake and what would happen if my house is not well made. “
