The stations of the National Earthquake Network of the National Institute for Astronomical Research recorded a 6-magnitude earthquake in the eastern Mediterranean, 502 km from the Egyptian coast, and the data is being interpreted.
And it works National Earthquake Network Through 70 stations, their locations were carefully chosen in light of the seismic history of all of Egypt, and it became impossible for any earthquake to occur without recording and monitoring it, regardless of its strength, even if it was less than zero.
The national seismic 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 in the world dating back more than 5 thousand years, although monitoring Earthquakes 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 regions most vulnerable to earthquakes, Egypt is far from seismic beltsas 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 makes us affected by some earthquakes of medium strength and the resilience of the Egyptian society currently to receive the shock the ruling factor to reduce the resulting losses.
