Ireland earthquake warning system

  

Ireland earthquake warning


Ireland is known to have very low numbers of earthquake activities. Being located near the Atlantic boundary for tectonic plates. There's very limited activity and it's a general area although the activity is slow it still has its causes for aftershocks from earthquakes in different areas such as Iceland the central Irish sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and other various regions around Europe. Such as the activity of earthquakes in Ireland there isn't a dire need for an emergency alert system for earthquakes, research is being done by the government to keep track of additives and movement since the 1970s. Even with  there not being any warning systems put in place for earthquakes there are the European Facilities for Earthquakes and Risk





About hazard.EFEHR

stated by the EFEHR website (The web platform hazard.EFEHR is operated by the European Facilities for Earthquake Hazard and Risk (EFEHR), a non-profit network of organizations
and community resources aimed at advancing earthquake hazard and risk assessment in the European-Mediterranean area. EFEHR is not replacing national or local efforts, it is supporting and enriching them.)

this nonprofit strives to educate the European community on earthquakes and the dangers and hazards that come with them.

Ireland is known for its historical geological movement of millions of years ago. it was believed that two different countries merged together to create Ireland as we know it today. the  two continents known as Laurentia and Gondwana that were separated by an ocean called Iapetus.  these countries we know today as  North America and different parts of  Europe, Africa, and Australia. Together during the closure of the Atlantic ocean.  there are Three types of tectonic plate layouts. the movement is very based on how the plates move and form.  when two plates slide past each other. when the plates move, the jagged edges of the plates' boundaries get snagged and catch each other which can get jammed. this creates a build-up of pressure and gas. when the plates finally pass each other the pre...
