The seismic tremors in the area of Thebes have reached 2,500 since last May, when the seismic activity in the area began, as the professor of Geology at the University of Athens and president of OASAP, Efthymios Lekkas, told skai.gr. According to him, the biggest vibration was 4.8 Richter, however there is no particular concern in the scientific community. The residents, of course, are worried and “longed” once again earlier today, for the new vibration of 3.7 on the Richter scale. The focal depth of this vibration that took place shortly before 11 in the morning and was felt in Boeotia and in areas of Attica, is estimated at 9.8 km. The epicenter is 6 km from Thebes.
As he said, the activity persists, however does not inspire concern in scientists. The area is known for the cracks, however as the professor assures they are small, “they can not give anything bigger”, while they do not cause damage to the surface.
“It’s natural for people to be worried because of the frequency of the vibrations,” he said.
After the 3.7 Richter scale, seismic vibrations of magnitude 1.7 and 1.8 on the Richter scale followed.
