Adelaide earthquake! A lot of tremors!

 28 May 2018

Today (May 28) noon, there was an earthquake in Adelaide.

A 3.0-magnitude earthquake struck Mount Compass, Adelaide, at 12:13 today (May 28), the Australian Academy of Geological Sciences website (The Geoscience Australia) reported. There are many tremors, including the remote Verdun, Morphett, Blackwwod and so on.

Seismologist Jonathan Bathgate said earthquakes in the region were not unusual, with nearly 50 earthquakes of similar intensity in the past 30 years. But he did not predict whether there would be another earthquake in the future.

"for a country that often has small earthquakes, it`s sparse and normal, not serious enough to cause aftershocks," he said.

The feeling of an earthquake depends on where you were at the time, Jonathan Bathgate said.

". Depending on the structure of the house, the higher you are, for example, in the apartment, the more likely you are to feel it. "

"it also depends on the local geology. The coastal sediments may have a stronger sense of earthquake. "

Do you feel that?
