NRIAG: Egypt Lies 600 km Away from Seismic Belts
Rana Atef
Dr. Sherif El-Hady, Head of the Earthquake Department at the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, confirmed that Egypt's borders are about 600 kilometres away from the seismic belts, explaining that an earthquake is a sudden shake.
The series of earthquakes that occurred in Egypt over the past few days are a result of unexpected seismic activity.
El-Hady added, during a phone interview on the program "Al-Hayat Al-Youm" with journalist Mohamed Mostafa Sherdy, broadcast on Al-Hayat Channel, that the sudden seismic activity is due to the nature of the land, and it may subside for long periods.
He emphasized that the recent earthquakes are not an indication of a large-scale earthquake or a disaster.
He continued, 'The duration of the most recent earthquake was 12 seconds, and it could vary if you are farther from the coast. The farther you are, the shorter the duration. We conduct studies for every earthquake that occurs, and these studies might continue for years to fully understand this phenomenon.'
