Scientists have recently warned that UK's traditional London city could be hit earthquake at any time. It can be mixed on the ground to most of the city's buildings The British press Daily Star said in a report that while it was not possible to say the time was possible, the danger was seen to be strong.
It is said in the report that a group of researchers from Imperial College in London recently discovered this information. They say the earthquake will cause the central London and Canary Wharf to be the worst hit.
The researchers further said that due to the large cracks in the underground tectonic plates, there was a possibility of earthquake surrounding the city. The level of the Richter scale may exceed 5. And if it really is a terrible catastrophe in the city.
However, researchers at London University say the earthquake appears to be very low in London but it is very low. The fear of them is one percent in thousand.
They also say that the underground plates are being displaced at very slow speed. As a result of this earthquake may occur, it will take a lot of time. They say the speed of displacement is so slow that only one to two millimeters occur every year.
However, the civil environment environmental engineer of Imperial College. Richard Gayle told the Daily Star that although the speed seems very slow, its horror may be fatal but. Because the places that are being attacked due to underground plates are highly populated.
Richard also said that if the earthquake really hit, it would be ranked as one of the worst events in history. According to him, if the earthquake level is estimated to be 5 but in reality, it can actually exceed 6 levels.
Keeping in mind the upcoming earthquake, Richard is also advised to maintain additional alert in building construction. Originally the information was discovered after running the test on the structure of the building.
However, the meeting of the city of London with the earthquake happened before. The city shook the earthquake with a magnitude of 5.2 in 10 years ago in 2008. For the Londoners, the experience in the last 25 years was completely new!
