🇪🇹 |🌍 Earthquakes and Ground Cracks in Ethiopia

⚠️ Ethiopia has experienced a series of strong earthquakes, leading to the formation of cracks in the ground, particularly near the town of Awash. In the last 24 hours, 10 earthquakes with magnitudes above 4 were recorded, including one with a magnitude of 5.1.

‼️ According to experts, these events are occurring in the East African Rift Valley, located about 150 km east of the capital Addis Ababa. This area is known for its high seismic activity. This year, the number of earthquakes with magnitudes of 4 and above has reached 41, the highest in the last 10 years.

🆘 The seismic activity has caused significant ground fissures, raising concerns among local residents. Experts continue to monitor the situation, assessing potential risks to infrastructure, including the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), located 600 km away. In the event of a dam failure, the consequences could be catastrophic, with massive flooding threatening the lives and property of millions, as well as damaging agricultural land and infrastructure.

Residents of the region are urged to remain vigilant, and authorities are developing measures to mitigate potential impacts.

🇪🇹 Tectonic Activity Causes Ground Cracks in the Awash Region, Ethiopia

‼️ In the Awash region, a series of earthquakes has been recorded over the past few days. The latest quake, which struck on January 2 at 7:26 PM local time (Addis Ababa), had a magnitude of 4.6. These tremors have caused ground cracks to appear and are part of the active tectonic processes within the Ethiopian Rift.

The Ethiopian Rift is a segment of the East African Rift, one of the largest tectonic fault systems on Earth. The gradual movement of tectonic plates in this region may eventually lead to the splitting of the continent and the formation of a new ocean in the distant future.

These phenomena underscore the significance of tectonic processes in shaping Earth's landscape.
