TEHRAN – A total of 105 earthquakes were recorded nationwide in the fourth week of Berman in the 11th Iranian calendar month from February 8th to 14th, according to the Earthquake Network of the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Tehran.
Statistically, there are 92 earthquakes with a size of less than 3. A 12 earthquake, between 3 and 4 size. According to the IRNA, earthquakes of 4-5 size reported 4-5 earthquakes.
Of Quakes’ total, one person had a size of 4 on the Richter scale that occurred on February 10th.
Among the states of the country, 17 Khorasan Razavi experienced the highest number of earthquakes, Fars and Bushehr each experienced 10 and Kermanshah with nine earthquakes.
During the same period, no earthquakes have been recorded in East Azalbaijan, West Azalbaijan, Aldabil, Alborz, Kohirue Boilamad, Markaj, QOM, Zilang, Kazbin, and Zanjan provinces.
According to the Earthquake Network of the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Tehran, a total of 6,949 earthquakes have been recorded nationwide in past calendar years (March 2023 – March 2024).
The majority of the earthquakes occurred in the northeastern Khorasan Razabi, southeastern Kaman, northwest Azarbaijan and eastern Southeastern Khorasan province, Isna reported.
Statistically, 2,268 earthquakes were less than 2 on the Richter scale. 3,685 was 2-3. 796 was 3-4. 181 was between 4 and 5. 22 was 5-6. Five were between 6 and 7.
The Iranian plateau is located in a highly seismically active region of the world and is known not only for its major catastrophic earthquakes, but also for its natural disasters, particularly earthquake-related disasters.
About 2% of earthquakes around the world occur in Iran, but more than 6% of the victims of world earthquakes in the 20th century have been reported from earthquakes in Iran.
According to Mehdi Zare, professor of engineering seismology, this indicates a high level of vulnerability in Iran.
Iran has been decreasing by 30 mm per year since 1396 (March to March 2018) and 1396 (March to March 2018), so the earthquake occurred between 10 years from 1396 (March to March 2018). I’ve entered. Seismic studies (IIEES) said.
The Strait of Hormuz region, south of Iran, has the highest seismic activity in the region, and its formation is associated with the continuation of the convergence movement between the Arabian Plate and the Iranian Central Continental Plate.
Tehran is one of the most dangerous metropolitan cities in the world in terms of the risks of a variety of natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods, subsidence, drought, earthquakes, and post-earthquake fires.
Meanwhile, Tehran’s nighttime population exceeds 8,300,000, mixes old non-resistant structures with modern skyscrapers affecting the city’s vulnerability.
