Magma-Triggered Earthquake Swarm in Santorini

Scientists have discovered the cause of a massive earthquake swarm near Santorini, Greece, earlier this year. The swarm, which lasted for three months and involved tens of thousands of tremors, was triggered by magma moving horizontally beneath the island. Researchers used AI to analyze seismic patterns, revealing this geological activity. The magma traveled through a thirty-kilometer channel, estimated to be enough to fill two hundred thousand Olympic-sized swimming pools. This new approach could revolutionize volcanic monitoring and help keep people safe in seismically active regions. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
