Do we have to wait for the larger earthquake after the Karaj earthquake? – Iranian and world news

According to the , the International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering, at 9:50 pm on May 6, a magnitude of 1.5 km deep in the west of Tehran and the southwest of Karaj, and near the city of Karaj, according to the . The register by the National Center for Band Seismic Network has not been reported.

The earthquake has expanded on the Eshtehard Gasley Zone, Mahdasht-South Karaj, which is spreading from the EPEC Fault in Qazvin Province (the site of the Boin Zahra earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3) to the east of Tehran.

The occurrence of serious damage is unexpected

According to experts, this fault system has no direct structural connection to the northern fault of Tehran, although it is capable of producing a large and destructive earthquake in Karaj and Tehran.

According to the seismic map recorded in the area over the past twenty years, the seismic activity of this fault zone is quite visible. The earthquake occurred, with a large size of 1.5 on the south -east of the earthquake.

Possibility of impact on adjacent faults

Regarding the possibility of this earthquake on adjacent faults and larger earthquakes in the region, scientific evidence cannot be stated, but as mentioned earlier, the fault zone is capable of creating a large earthquake with a large earthquake of more than 0.5.

In the following figures, the site of the recent earthquake is shown along with the site of the earthquake, as well as two other small incidents (since the beginning of year 2). In the other form, the initial and estimated estimate of the earth’s acceleration around the earthquake is shown.

It should be noted that this form is based on the reduction relationships and without the acceleration data recorded at the acceleration stations around the earthquake center.
