In conjunction with Egypt … a 6.1 -magnitude earthquake hit Greece
The American Geological Survey explained that the earthquake occurred about (15) kilometers south of the city of Fry, when the circuit of (278.35) degrees north and a length line (942.26) degrees in the east.
No information has yet been reported about human losses or material damage as a result of the earthquake.
Egypt earthquake
This comes in conjunction with an earthquake of 6.4 hitting the Egyptian coast in the Mediterranean in the early morning hours of Wednesday.
In a post on the Facebook application, the National Institute for Astronomical and Geophysical Research in Egypt stated that the earthquake center in the east of Crete is in the Mediterranean, and that its strength reached 6.4 on the Richter scale.
The earthquake occurred 431 km from the beaches of Egypt, at a depth of 76 km.
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.
Types of different earthquakes
Earthquakes are classified based on their reasons for 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.
