🇪🇹 Activity in Ethiopia's Rift Zone: Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruption

‼️Significant tectonic activity has been recorded in the Afar region of Ethiopia. Over the past weeks, a seismic swarm has been observed, including a magnitude 5.8 earthquake that struck early on January 4, 2025, at 3:52 AM local time. The epicenter was located 57 km from the town of Awash, at a shallow depth of just 10 km, making the tremors particularly intense near the surface.

⚠️ Mount Dofen has also shown signs of activity, with emissions of gas, rocks, and mud reported. This indicates heightened processes within the rift zone. These events suggest the ongoing separation of tectonic plates. The East African Rift is one of the most dynamic geological regions on Earth, and the current activity points to the gradual formation of a new ocean.

🔥 The region remains under close scientific observation. Authorities are urging local residents to exercise caution as the situation continues to evolve.
