Abstract

Earthquake activity was increased in 2010. The inhabitants felt more than 85 earthquakes, eight among them reached maximum intensity V EMS-98. The strongest earthquake occurred on 15 January at 14.20 UTC (15.20 Central European time / CET) with hypocentre in the vicinity of Postojna. Its local magnitude was 3.7 (ARSO, 2010-2011) and the highest intensity V EMS-98. On 24 February at 5.21 UTC (6.21 CET) a moderate earthquake with the local magnitude 3.2 occurred near Dragomelj. On 15 September the area near Koritnice was shaken twice, at 2.21 and 2.23 UTC (4.21 and 4.23 CET). The local magnitude of both events was 3.5.
