“Why are there people who don’t feel it?earthquake And did people think it was relatively strong?” a question he answered National Institute for Astronomical Research Commenting on the earthquake, which was recorded by the Institute’s National Seismological Network stations today, Tuesday 12/27/2022, and was 26 kilometers southwest of Al-Tur.
And the National Institute for Astronomical Research responded by saying: It is very natural for citizens to feel any earthquake for many reasons, including the state of the person (awake or asleep – standing or sitting – stationary or moving – one floor ground or a high floor), and finally its proximity to the site of the earthquake.
On Tuesday, corresponding to 12/27/2022, the stations of the National Seismological Network of the Institute recorded an earthquake 26 km southwest of Al-Tur, and its data were as follows:
Event date: 12/27/2022
Time of occurrence: 02:11:02 local time
Strength: 5 degrees on the Richter scale
Latitude: 28.04 North
Longitude: 33.48 east
Depth: 9.61 km
The institute has received reports that the quake was felt, but reported no loss of life or property
The National Earthquake Network operates through 70 stations whose locations have been carefully chosen in light of the seismic history of all of Egypt.
The national earthquake network is one of the most modern networks in the world, and Egypt is one of the first countries in the world, North Africa and the Middle East in this field, as it dates back more than 150 years, and we have the largest seismic history of the world dating back more than 5 thousand years, although earthquake monitoring began with the beginning of the twentieth century, but the ancient Egyptian civilization and the history of earthquakes in all history books date back more than 5 thousand years, which gives weight and strength to Egypt in monitoring and dealing with such natural phenomena.
Regarding the classification of Egypt and its global position among the most earthquake vulnerable areas, Egypt is far from seismic belts, as there are 7 known seismic belts in the world and Egypt is far from them, but Egypt’s proximity to some seismically active areas such as the Gulf of Aqaba, the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea affect us Some medium intensity earthquakes and the resilience of the Egyptian society now to receive the shock is the determining factor to reduce the resulting losses.
