A seismic event linked to the bradisismic crisis?
Yes, Albradisism is linked. Today’s earthquake, having a magnitude of 3.9, is among the strongest events recently recorded in the area and having released its energy from a very small depth has been felt distinctly by the population, especially in the municipalities of Pozzuoli, Bacoli, fourth, and in the western areas of Naples.
What does a depth of 3 km mean?
The low depth of the earthquake (only 3 km) has probably amplified the perception of the shock by the inhabitants, making the earthquake more evident than earthquakes of equal magnitude but deeper.
