SEISMICITY of the CARPATHIANS in 2020
Abstract
The article describes seismic observations in the Carpathian region in 2020, which were carried out, as before, by two organizations from two states: in Ukraine – the Seismicity department of the Carpathian region of the Institute of Geophysics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, in Moldova – the seismol ogy laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Seismology of Moldova State University. The monitoring of seis micity was carried out 21 stationary digital and 3 temporary stations of Ukraine with a processing centre in Lviv and six stations of Moldova with a processing centre in Chisinau. Different programs, local godographs and mag nitudes were used. The maximum earthquake with KR=12.5, MSH=4.7 and hрР=124.0 km was registered on Janu ary 31 in the Vrancea zone. The epicentral zone was subjected to shaking with an intensity up to Ii=4 by MSK-64 scale. The earthquake was felt by the population of Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Moldova and other European countries. In the Precarpathian and Transcarpathian regions, all earthquakes were weaker. In general, in 2020 there was an increase in the level of seismicity in seismically active areas: № 1 (North-Western), № 2 (Vrancea), № 5 (Bukovina) and № 8 (Bacau), compared with that in the previous period 2019.
