The first look place at i ft45 am the second my 2 5 j And the third at 2 14 At the moment there is no pattern to the tremor activity and because of this it is very difficult to predict any possible major earthquake taking place. However prediction does t Only depend on tremors but also on go chemical changes and Seis Mic activity in the Earth Marturano said. These changes Are More readily apparent in Active zones such As at Solf Atara but we Haven t seen any changes there to alarm the quakes could be Felt More than Amile away from heir epicentre close to sol Fatyara a dormant Volcano less than a mile from the naval activity. Quakes and volcanic activity Are old hat in the Region arid in s for Good reason the area is called Campi regret flaming Fields. The area has exp Rien cd geological activity Ever since a Mas Sive volcanic eruption 30,000 years ago Cre ated the Crater like Basin now occupied bythe Bays of Naples and Pozzuoli and the area North of Host Bays.

It would be wrong to Start saying that these slight trem ors could possibly become More significant. However at the moment it is Best to wait a few More Days to Sec How the situation develops Luongo situation continues like this then we need not worry about this Small local seismic crisis. If however should there Bemore and stronger tremors then we must1 Start thinking of the possibility of an unexpected earthquake caused by the effects of Brad scism it May be that this is a limited and local event brought about by ther Mal activity. If this is the Case then we can breathe a pig sigh of Relief. However wended to wait a few More Days Luongo said.
