The areas most at risk from earthquakes in Albania are revealed

Seismologist Edmond Dushi has shown which are the areas with the highest seismic activity, starting from the new seismic map that he has proposed and is still working on.

Recently invited to a TV show, Dushi says that the western part is more at risk, where earthquakes can occur because they are in contact through tectonic plates.

" The seismic risk map represents the impact of earthquakes and not the occurrence, i.e. the distribution of the occurrence, whether or not earthquakes occur in a certain area. Without a doubt, in the areas where earthquakes occur, we have always emphasized, they are mainly areas of the western part and not without purpose because they are in contact through the tectonic plates, i.e. the Ionian and Adriatic part of the country, where the most important and important cities of the country lie.

There is also a transversal area that stretches from Elbasan towards Dibra and this has its own history of seismicity and is very active, but not exclusively only these areas, but there are also internal areas of the territory of Albania which have their own activity but they are more moderate in relation to other areas.

I can say that the entire territory of Albania is tectonically active because in tectonic terms it is new, it is part of the new orogeny that is known in our terminology and it is part of a whole generation, starting from the Alps of Europe in the direction of Turkey. , Dushi said.
