The city of Marsa Matruh was recently hit by a 4.3-magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale, and was monitored by the National Seismological Network on the night of April 11, and was about 36 kilometers from Marsa Matruh. The director of the National Institute for Astronomical Research, Dr. Jad Al-Qadi In a statement recently that no material or other losses, or even injuries were reported, the statement revealed the details of the coordinates of the earthquake that occurred today, its time, time of occurrence, longitude and latitude, and all the details in this regard, which were as follows.
A 4.3 earthquake in the Richter hitting Marsa Matruh
The time that occurred in the hour, minute, and second occurred at exactly six o’clock, 30 minutes, and 59 seconds.
The date they occurred, today Saturday April 11, 2020.
Seismic force, 4.3 degrees on the Richter scale.
Longitude, 26.8945 ° E.
Latitude, 31.5107 ° N North.
And the National Seismological Authority monitored an earthquake this afternoon, through its stations spread all over the place, and even these places were selected with high precision, where the National Seismology works through 70 stations located in more than one place, and these Places were chosen with high precision, since Egypt has a great seismic history, and it is impossible for an earthquake to occur without being observed, no matter how small or large.
Earthquake today
The National Seismology Network in Egypt is one of the newest networks in the world, and Egypt was one of the first countries in the Middle East, Africa and the world in this field, and the history of Egypt in the field of earthquakes dates back more than 150 years, even though the date of the beginning of earthquake monitoring was in the early 20th century, but the ancient civilization of Egypt and the history of earthquakes date back more than five thousand years, making it that gave Egypt great strength in this area.
Also, the occurrence of an earthquake is a natural matter, and Egypt is far from being a dimension of seismic belts, as there are almost 7 seismic belts in the world, and Egypt is quite far from it, but Egypt’s proximity to some seismically active areas has made it vulnerable to some earthquakes.
