A Surge in Earthquakes: Germany Experiences Tremors at an Alarming Rate
Frequency: An Ongoing Phenomenon
Earthquakes in Germany, although generally weak, have become a prevalent occurrence, with several jolts recorded annually. Mining activities, particularly blasting, have been identified as a major trigger for these tremors.
Recent Surge in Seismic Activity
In the past decade, Germany has witnessed a significant increase in earthquake frequency, with 89 earthquakes of magnitude 4 or above within a radius of 300 km. In the past week alone, the country has experienced 67 quakes, with magnitudes reaching 3.9.
The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) operates a seismic network called GEOFON, which provides real-time data and rapid earthquake parameters. By clicking on the map provided by GEOFON, you can access a comprehensive list of recent earthquakes in or near Germany.
