The common thing between the earthquakes in Turkey and Vranca is that they cannot be predicted, expert Mircea Radulyan from the National Institute of Geophysics in Romania told Dizhdi24 Television.

As the main difference, he points out that the earthquakes in Turkey were on the surface, while those in the Vranca seismic zone were deep. 

All about the topic:

"Hence the scale of destruction, which is much greater in surface earthquakes.

The deep ones have a smaller effect, but at longer distances, such as Bucharest, Iași", the expert specifies.

According to him, Romania is currently in a period of seismic calm, writes BTA.

"Vrancha has quieter periods that can reach several decades, but also active periods in which large earthquakes occur.

Such a large earthquake is sure to happen, but it is very difficult to predict.

So far, statistics show that about two to three earthquakes with a magnitude above 7 usually occur per century", commented Mircha Radulyan.
