Yesterday noon, Monday, at 2:41 pm Cairo time, an earthquake occurred in southern Egypt with a magnitude of 4.2 on the Richter scale and at a depth of 12 km, about 100 km north of the East Al Owainat agricultural project, and about 360 km west of the High Dam.
The earthquake occurred only 15 minutes after the earthquake in Ethiopia today, near the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, with a magnitude of 4.4 on the Richter scale, at a depth of 9.8 m. There is no geological relationship between the two earthquakes, as each of them is in a different geological environment from the other. The southern region of Egypt is geologically stable, and does not have huge faults or volcanic mountains. , or seismic activity, except for some mild to moderate earthquakes that increased slightly after the construction of the High Dam, and there is no rain, and most of the rocks are sedimentary or granite.
As for the Ethiopian region, there is the Great African Canyon, and basaltic volcanic mountains spread around it and major faults, including the Blue Nile Canyon. Seismic and volcanic activity abounds in the Ethiopian region, and steep slopes. The Jibi 2 project on the Omo River collapsed twice during construction in 2006, 2007, and the third in 24 January 2010, ten days after its opening.
This came according to what was published by Dr. Abbas Sharaki, professor of geology at Cairo University.
