Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi General Authority for Meteorology and Seismic Monitoring said on Tuesday that eight earthquakes had been recorded inside Iraq in March.
The Iraqi General Authority for Meteorology and Seismic Monitoring issued its monthly report on earthquakes detected inside Iraq and the neighboring regions during March.
The monthly report said that the Iraqi authority recorded 22 earthquakes, including eight earthquakes in Iraq, 12 earthquakes in Turkey, one earthquake in Iran, and one earthquake in Syria.
The report indicated that the seismic activity during March was concentrated in Turkey, near the border with Iraq.
No casualties or material losses have been reported in March due to the recorded earthquakes.
In September, 36 earthquakes of different magnitudes were recorded, including 11 earthquakes inside Iran and one earthquake in Syria.
Earthquake experts see that the earthquakes recorded in Iraq during September do not constitute any danger because the seismic activity is distributed across several Iraqi cities and not concentrated in one place.
