The intense seismic activity of recent times has brought the issue of earthquakes back, especially after the series of three earthquakes on Monday morning in Romania. Last week, a 6.7 on the Richter scale earthquake occurred in the Aegean Sea, and several smaller activities were recorded in Romania in Vrancea and Vaslui.
Seismologist Gheorghe Mărmureanu spoke about the future marked by earthquakes and announced that there will be a big problem in Africa. It is very possible that, at some point, the continent will shatter due to seismic activity. “Things are more complicated on the other side, that is, in Africa. The process of breaking up has begun. Africa is splitting in two, “Mărmureanu said according to retetesivedete.ro.
As for our country, the specialist called for calm and announced that, according to his calculations, Romania will not have to deal with a major earthquake until around 2040.
The great earthquake in Romania, scheduled for 2040
We are talking about ordinary earthquakes, which enter into everyday life, so to speak. We can have 60 such earthquakes in a month, but that doesn’t mean anything. They have not the slightest connection to the next big earthquake to come in the Vrancea seismic area. Here I am talking about a strong earthquake, with accelerations that can have devastating consequences.
Most likely it will come, I mean, around 2040 a year. This great earthquake is part of the series of earthquakes, including those of 1838 and 1940, “said Mărmureanu.
“We are talking about a cyclicality here. Of course, there were also some intermediates like 1802 or even 1977. To have a picture, I must tell you that in the 1838 earthquake the accelerations were so great that in the Prahova area they were they formed appreciable faults. Basically, the earth broke in some places due to the violence of the earthquake, “the specialist also specified.
