Jordan and global fault maps show seismic stability
The Jordan Seismic Observatory has revealed that seismic activity in the kingdom remains within normal and stable limits. Since the beginning of the year up to mid-August, a total of 324 earthquakes have been recorded, including 63 local quakes, representing an 11.3% decrease compared to the previous year. The activity is concentrated in the Dead Sea Rift Valley and the Jordan Valley Fault. Data indicates that changes in global seismic activity are due to technological advances in monitoring devices, which now detect smaller tremors that were previously imperceptible. Analyses show that earthquakes in regions such as Venezuela, Colombia, and Indonesia are caused by the natural characteristics of the Earth's crust. The simultaneous occurrence of these seismic events in geographically distant areas is a natural phenomenon. The report emphasizes the importance of continuous preparedness to face any seismic risks, noting that the strongest earthquake so far this year was a 7.8 magnitude quake in the Philippines. The data confirms the stability of the seismic situation and underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring to reduce risks and provide accurate information to the community.
