The second in less than 24 hours … a 6 -magnitude earthquake hit Ethiopia

An earthquake with a power of six on the Richter scale struck the Oromia region in central Ethiopia yesterday, which is considered one of the largest and most populated areas of Ethiopia.
The US Geological Survey said that the earthquake occurred at a depth of ten kilometers below the surface of the earth, noting that no news was reported by victims or material losses.

This is the second earthquake in the lowest 24 hours, as an earthquake yesterday evening struck Ethiopia with a power of 5.8 on the Richter scale.
The European Mediterranean Seismology Center reported that the earthquake was 10 km deep.

The pace of earthquakes escalate

Since the beginning of the year 2025, the world has witnessed daily earthquakes, and it is striking to be the severity of these tremors and the diversity of their positions, as the world is witnessing strong strikes that exceed 6 degrees on the Richter scale in Asia, South America and the Mediterranean. Earthquakes are classified based on their reasons to several types, most notably:
1. Tektula earthquakes: the result of the movement of tectonic plates and their slide along the faults.
2. Volcanic earthquakes: caused by volcanic activity, where the movement of magma leads to the generation of vibrations.
3. Infredient earthquakes: result from human activities such as building dams or extracting natural resources.
Studies indicate that the large number of earthquakes “with a strength of 7 degrees or more” has remained relatively fixed over the decades. However, increasing the media and modern technology contributed to increasing awareness and media coverage of earthquakes when they occur.
As for the earthquakes less in strength, there is a noticeable increase in it, and the causes of the human activity related to the incision of roads, construction and exploratory bombing, oil and gas extraction, and others.
