>> Spain: Continuous earthquake, at least 10 people died

According to two earthquake and volcanic experts, Armand Vervaeck of Belgium and German-born James Daniell of SOS Earthquakes (Belgium), earthquakes on 11-5 in Spain occurred within the Asian geological boundary. -Europe and African geology. In longitude, the African geological segment has moved northwest towards the Eurasian array at a rate of 6 mm / year.

Earthquakes in the Asia-Europe and Africa boundary areas occur due to the sliding or fracture of the geological array. In addition, the phenomenon of forward / reverse fracture is the closest direct consequence to the close proximity of Asia and Europe and Africa.

The epicenter of the earthquake on 11-5 in Spain is near a large fault line called the Alhama de Murcia fault line . However, two experts Armand Vervaeck and James Daniell said that it is necessary to delve into the epicenter of the epicenter of the Alhama de Murcia fault line or on another nearby fault line.

In recent decades, earthquake vibrations have been concentrated in southeastern Spain often measured at 5 Richter scale. Earthquakes of the same intensity that occurred in January 2, 1999 and August 2002 were all near the earthquake center on 11-5. However, the damage base comes with many earthquakes recorded before the 20th century, but the intensity must be between 6.5 and 7 Richter scale.
