SEISMICITY of the CARPATHIANS in 2016–2017
Abstract
The article describes seismic observations in the Carpathian region in 2016–2017, 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 NAS of Ukraine, in Moldova – the seismology laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Seismology of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova. In Ukraine, 20 stationary digital stations and 1 temporary in the area of Stebnik with a processing center in Lviv, in Moldova – six stations with a center in Chisinau. Different programs, local hodographs and magnitudes were used. The consolidated catalog of earthquakes was created in Lviv. A maps of epicenters and a table of the distribution of earthquakes of different classes by region are given. The total number of earthquakes in 2016–2017 was NΣ=140 in the range KR =4.0–14.4 with depths h=1–160 km and the total seismic energy ΣE=2.92·1014 J. The maximum earthquake with KR=14.4, MSH=5.7 and hрР=95 km was registered on September 23, 2016 located in the Vrancea zone. The earthquake was felt by the population in Romania and Moldova. In the cities of Chisinau and Cahul, the earthquake was felt with intensity I=3–4 points. In the Precarpathian and Transcarpathian regions, all earthquakes are weaker. The strongest event in Transcarpathia was a tangible earthquake, which occurred north of the village of Uglya, Tyachevo district, on June 6, 2017 with KR=9.8, of h=5 km. The earthquake was felt…
