Egyptian institute identifies Gulf of Suez quake cause
The interpretation of the Gulf of Suez earthquake results by the National Institute for Astronomical and Geophysical Research indicates that the shock, which measured 5.5 on the Richter scale, was caused by an active fault movement in the area. This is a natural incident resulting from the accumulation of stresses within the rocks and their sudden release, generating seismic waves that residents can feel. The earthquake occurred at dawn at a depth of 10 kilometers, at a latitude of 30.188° North and a longitude of 32.61° East. Fortunately, no casualties or property losses were reported. Tectonic activity in the Gulf of Suez is considered expected and normal due to the presence of faults and ongoing geological activity in the region.
