Mediterranean Seismic Symphony: A Day of Mild to Moderate Tremors Rattles Coastal Regions Across Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya

By Hatem Mamdouh

In an unprecedented series of geological activities, coastal areas of Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya experienced a string of mild to moderate earthquakes yesterday. According to reports from national meteorological and seismological agencies of the respective countries, no loss of life or significant damages has been reported.

Several earthquakes recently struck the southern coast of the Mediterranean

Tunisia Feels The Vibrations:

According to the National Institute of Meteorology, a tremor with a magnitude of 3.8 on the Richter scale was felt in the coastal cities of Sousse and Monastir in Tunisia at 3:35 am local time. The earthquake’s epicenter was located at latitude 35.84 and longitude 10.7.

Egypt Awakens to Tremors:

In Egypt, the National Institute for Astronomical and Geophysical Research announced a 4.5 magnitude earthquake located 265 kilometers northwest of the Marsa Matruh governorate. The quake occurred at 4:33 am local time and was felt across multiple provinces.

 

Libya’s Coastal Concerns:

In the coastal region to the west of Egypt, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre recorded a 4.6 magnitude earthquake approximately 70 kilometers away from the city of Tobruk in northeastern Libya. The quake had a depth of 10 kilometers and occurred at 3:33 am Libyan time.

 

These successive seismic events spark questions about the preparedness and resilience of infrastructures in the region, especially in the face of possible higher magnitude earthquakes. While the tremors have so far been benign, the day’s activities serve as a potent reminder of the natural forces at work beneath the Mediterranean’s placid waters.
