Serbia was struck by three earthquakes in the past three days: The last one was last night at 9:30 PM - did you feel the quake? (PHOTO)
We called the Republican Seismological Institute to explain to us what it is going on
Serbia was struck by three earthquakes in three days, and the strongest one reached 2.9 degrees on Richter scale in Novi Pazar. They stated in the Republican Seismological Institute that this happens in our country around 1.500 times a year.
- When the earthquake is 2.3 degrees on Richter scale, some people can feel it. However, it is also important where it happened, because it is not the same if it happened on a mountain or in a city. If the epicenter is on a mountain, there is no one to feel it, and the further the quake goes from the epicenter then it grows weaker - they explained from the Institute for Telegraf.rs.
The first earthquake occurred on July 27th. in Smederevska Palanka, and was 2.2 degrees on the Richter scale. Kraljevo was hit two days later by an earthquake whose magnitude was 1.7.
Novi Pazar had it "the worst". The earthquake there was 2.9 degrees on the Richter scale.
A great number of people can't feel these earthquakes and there is no danger for any damage to occur.
