The tremors recorded on the southern coast of Crimea have nothing to do with earthquakes in Turkey. Petr Shebalin, director of the Institute for Earthquake Prediction Theory and Mathematical Geophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told socialbites.ca. According to him, stronger tremors are still possible in Crimea, but not as much as in Turkey.
“This is an independent earthquake, it has nothing to do with the disaster in Turkey. Earthquakes like this happen from time to time there, which is not unusual. Basically [в Крыму — Газета.Ru] stronger earthquakes are possible, in 1927 there was a well-known Yalta earthquake. It was very strong, but it’s been almost a hundred years, so there are rarely strong earthquakes, but they do happen. Most likely, there will be nothing like Turkey in Crimea. After all, there was an earthquake in Crimea with a magnitude of about 8, an earthquake of this magnitude is unlikely, ”Shebalin said.
