The last earthquake with epicenter in Bradashesh of Elbasan, reactivated a kind of fear in the people who felt it.
Seismologists say that the power of the earthquake was 3.9 according to the Richter scale and with intensity at the epicenter of almost 5 points.
"These earthquakes are of magnitude less than 4, which we call small earthquakes and which are distinguished in the Elbasan area, since Elbasan is part of a large transverse fault, the Lushnjë-Elbasan-Diber area, which is an area active in our country. The characteristic of this area is that the earthquakes, especially in recent years, are earthquakes of this level of magnitude, which shows that energy is released there, we do not have large accumulations or large stresses to have strong earthquakes.
Its characteristic is the construction of the area itself, the geothermal layers, the thermal area of Elbasan, and we have layers with low speed, which cause the earthquake to be triggered faster and prevent the generation of large earthquakes. The earthquake was felt in the city of Elbasan up to 5 magnitude, in Librazhd 4 magnitude, and in Tirana 3-4 magnitude. Such earthquakes can cause minor damage to old, very old houses. It does not reach the threshold for damage to begin. In order to reach the threshold, the earthquake must have a magnitude above 5 or an intensity of 7 at the epicenter", explains seismologist Rrapo Ormëni for Top Channel's microphone.
According to him, these earthquakes are small, they are earthquakes that are only felt by people, but have no effects, so there is no place for any kind of panic.
