What the image of scientists have about the seismic vibrations between Amorgos and Santorini was spoken to SKAI by Evi Nomikou, a professor at the Laboratory of Physical Geography of the NCSR.

As he initially said about vibrations and focuses: “The focus is reinstalled and we can see more accurately where the earthquakes are, where the rocks are broken on the bottom of the earth as seismologists have placed many stations not only in Santorini but also in Ios, Amorgos, Anhydros, Astypalaia Anafi. So we can re -determine where the focus is located and what is activated in this earthquake that has been activated in the last two weeks. “

And continues: ‘Our concern is that all this earthquake has a great deal of active reckless zoneslike the great rift of Amorgos (which gave the great earthquake in 1956). We do not want earthquakes to go toward the northeast (where this rift is located). We also do not want any influence of the seismic stimulation in the submarine volcano of Columbus, located northeast of Santorini and adjacent to these fractures. “

Close to rift However, this is recorded vibrationwith Mrs. Law explaining how ‘It is an earthquake that has been activated and already on its own too many smaller rifts where They want to go out to the surface. The reason, because these cracks want to come to the surface is something we are still exploring. But the most likely reason is the passage of fluids from larger wicked booths from the earth, which as they rise as they move the submarine bottom. “

On whether the residents of Santorini should return to the island, the teacher replies: “We are not the scientists who can tell them to go back,” explaining that the houses must be checked first.

As for how much the activity is expected to continue, the teacher says this cannot be answered accurately. “That’s why we said that in other areas this phenomenon was 1-1.5 months and that is why seismologists say how it will It has a longer duration than we expected

Mrs. Law continued by saying that “We have never lived in volcanic environment again” And he stressed that ‘At the moment the data is not showing us no elements of volcanic explosion. The scenarios are for scientific conferences not to expose to the world. “
