EARTHQUAKES IN SLOVENIA IN 2019
Abstract
In 2019 the earthquake activity was slightly lower than average in Slovenia, and there were no damaging earthquakes. The Seismic Network of the Republic of Slovenia recorded 2183 local earthquakes, at least 141 of which were felt by the people. There were 18 earthquakes with a local magnitude equal to or higher than 2.0, and there were two which reached a maximum intensity of IV-V EMS-98, which allows negligible hairline cracks in plaster. The strongest earthquake in Slovenia in 2019, with a local magnitude of 3.4, was observed on 1 October at 22:24 UTC near Ilirska Bistrica. Its maximum intensity was IV EMS-98. The inhabitants of Slovenia also felt five regional earthquakes with their epicentres in Italy. Their maximum intensity in Slovenia was IV-V EMS-98. On 26 November numerous people in Slovenia also felt two earthquakes in the Balkan Peninsula. The strongest occurred in Albania, with a magnitude of 6.4. Its maximum intensity in Slovenia was IV EMS-98.
