Today, a new earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale struck the “Papua West” area in Indonesia, according to the German Research Institute for Earth Sciences.
In a statement, the German Institute added that the earthquake occurred at a depth of ten kilometers, without reports that human or material losses were recorded.
Earthquakes regularly hit different parts of Indonesia because of its occurrence on the Pacific belt known as the “Ring of Fire”, where many tectonic sheets meet, causing a frequent volcanic activity and earthquake.
On a different level, Scientists have warned of repeated earthquakes in US The American, which may be associated with a catastrophic volcano, has hit more than 800 earthquakes in Washington during the past days, which raised the concerns that one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the United States may return to life, and more than half of the earthquakes hit about 500 earthquakes, in July alone, when an intense swarm of earthquakes launched more than 400 earthquakes within only 12 hours.
Warnings of repeated earthquakes in the United States
According to what was published in the British Daily Mail newspaper, this class volcano waves over more than 3.3 million people in the urban Seattle Takoma region, and threatens to paralyze entire societies due to the fall of ash, floods and catastrophic clay flows if it revolts, and although Mount Renier has not produced a large eruption for more than 1000 years, seismic swarms like these are often linked to volcanic turmoil, This seismic activity is usually stimulated due to the high magma towards the surface, which leads to breaking the surrounding rocks under severe pressure.
