Researchers expect strong marine tremors Gulf of Aden, Red Sea

SANAA, Dec. 13 (YPA) – Researchers in earthquakes have expected strong marine tremors in the Gulf of Aden to extend to the Red Sea in the coming days.

They attributed the occurrence of marine tremors to the pressure and activity of tremors and earthquakes in central Asia, which will transmit the tremors to the Arabian Sea after recording during the past hours a marine tremor of magnitude five on the Richter scale.

They suggested that the seismic energy of this earthquake would be transmitted through faults, with the occurrence of other tremors in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, as well as in Iran and the Iranian border with Iraq, extending to eastern Anatolia and to the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

The Arabian Sea is connected with three faults in the Makran Fault subduction zone, which extends from the Gulf of Oman to the coast of Karachi in Pakistan, and the Owen and Murray Faults associated with the central Arabian Sea. The most dangerous of which is the Makran Fault, the Gulf of Aden tectonic fault, which has the characteristics of a right-handed transform fault with horizontal movement associated with the Owens and Carlos Berg faults in the Arabian Sea.
