Natural phenomena are events that open debate and they generate diverse emotions among humanity, because while some find them fascinating, others simply fear them, however, they are of great help to understand how the planet works.
A couple of months ago a team of Chinese scientists They took on the task of investigating what is happening in Granadasince when collecting data on earthquakes that occurred in theWestern Europe and the bordering region of southern Spain noticed something truly interesting.
Thanks to this study they discovered what happened to the tectonic plates that are beneath the Mediterranean Sea, where They basically analyzed seismic waves of recent decadeswhich corresponded to five earthquakes.
This revealed that the plates do not collide with each otheras it usually happens when telluric movements occur, it seems that this group of scientists found something beyond because what they found was a sliding of one over the other.
Both the Eurasian and African plates are beginning to move closer together and the bottom of the Mediterranean is heading towards Europe. However, there is one more peculiarity in all this: Granada. What’s up with this site? We’ll explain.
Granada, what’s going on?
Research indicates that during the 2010 tremors the waves had a slowdown because The plate beneath the Eurasian plate recorded these movements at the bottom, rather than the top.as usually happens.
That’s how they noticed that The seabed is moving rapidly towards the aforementioned Eurasian plate.However, this also caused a considerable amount of water to be carried to the Earth’s mantle.
Although this would allow the plate to remain cold, there is something else… a piece has not only suffered this slippage, It also turned over and absorbed waterwhich has led to the conclusion that the lithosphere – or at least a part of it – would be inverted.
