‘Allways Shaking’: Over 900 quake crate islands within two weeks; There was no major damage

According to the country’s weather agency, a remote island in southern Japan has been shaken by more than 900 earthquakes in the last two weeks. Constant tremors have scared the residents and are unable to sleep, worried that as reported by the Guardian, even strong quakes may come.There has been no major damage so far. However, the Japanese meteorological agency said that it could not predict when the shocks will stop.At an emergency news conference, an agency official Ayataka Ebita said, “From June 21, seismic activity is very active in the seas around the Tera Island series.” His statement led to 5.5 earthquakes, which hit the island around 3.30 pm on Wednesday. By 4 pm, the total number of quakes had exceeded 900.Residents have been advised to be prepared to take shelter or empty it if a strong quake hit.Media outlets, Mainichi Shimbun said that till Tuesday, around 740 earthquakes occurred in a period of only 10 days. The 7-point of Japan’s 7-point seismic intensity was recorded at a minimum level 1, where the 7 is the strongest. A level 5 earthquake is strong enough to alarm people. Officials of Tokra village said the residents were exhausted with constant shaking. A resident told the local TV: “It seems that it is always shaking. It is very scary to sleep.” Another said that they were thinking about emptying their children.The official record shows that the daily Quake reached 183 on 23 June, then increased to 15 June and 15 on June 16. However, the number climbed again on June 29 to 98 and 62 on June 30.Last year, there was a similar earthquake wave in Takara when 346 quakes were recorded according to the Meteorological Department. Seven out of 12 crates live in the islands, in total with around 700 inhabitants. Experts stated that the pressure of the island becomes easy to manufacture and trigger earthquakes in unusual water landscapes.Japan is one of the most earthquake prone countries in the world. This Pacific sits on top of four major tectonic plates in the “Ring of Fire” and experiences about 1,500 shocks a year.This week, the Japanese government said it needs to be ready for a potential “megakak” along the Pacific coast. Although it is impossible to predict that, in fact, there will be an earthquake, a government panel in January increased the possibility of a major shock in the Nanakai trough between 75% and 82% in the next 30 years.If such an earthquake and tsunami strike, the authorities warned that it could kill 298,000 people and cause damage as a $ 2 trillion.
