Series of earthquakes rattle Hungary
Thirteen earthquakes were recorded in Hungary on Saturday and Sunday, the largest of which had a magnitude of 4.1. All of the quakes were felt in the city of Arad and some of them in Oradea, according to Digi24.
The first earthquake was recorded on Saturday at 12:13 and had a magnitude of 4.0. It was followed by an aftershock, of magnitude 4.1, three minutes later.
Between 13:51 and 19:12, eight other earthquakes shook Hungary. Of these, the largest had a magnitude of 3.9 and the smallest 2.1.
At 19:20, another quake was recorded, of magnitude 4.0. At the same time, an earthquake, measuring 3.7, also occurred in Romania, in Banat, Caras-Severin.
Two other earthquakes occurred in Hungary on Sunday morning, with magnitudes of 3.9 and 3.4 respectively.
The earthquakes were caused by the movement of the Carpathian plate, which is being subducted under the Pannonian plate. The region is seismically active and earthquakes are not uncommon.
