An investigation has been published on the Iberian Peninsula since it involves the south of the Iberian Peninsula and part of Morocco, it is the area shown specifically, the surface of Spain has a slightly strange characteristic with earthquakes, apparently it is prone to having deep and very rare earthquakes, since 1954 there have been five large earthquakes with a very deep focus, about 600 km under Granada and that is a lot of depth.

Geologists Daoyuan Sun of the University of Science and Technology of China and Meghan S. Miller of the National Institute of Australia have studied this case and have come to a surprising conclusion: that a part of the earth's court in this area of ​​the Iberian Peninsula turned around.

Normally the tectonic plates collide with each other and often move, the densest one ends up falling or sliding under the continental one and in this process volcanoes are formed, mountain ranges are formed, an example is the Andes Mountains, the oceanic plate is getting under the continental plate of South America, however, in the south of Spain something quite rare occurred or at least that has not been found anywhere else in the world.

The thing is that the slab that sank, the one that was in that area of ​​the Mediterranean because we must remember that Africa is moving north and will end up colliding with the Iberian Peninsula, that slab that was there ended up sinking very quickly into the crust and The crust of that slab ended up turning completely over and also carrying all the water that was stored inside the slab.

In other words, what was previously the soil of the region has been left upside down and what was underneath is now in what would be the crust of the Iberian Peninsula. According to researchers, this is what would explain the strange complexity of the structures. tectonics of the region and also the deep earthquakes caused at more than 600 km depth.

Yes, the whole of southern Spain is prone to earthquakes, you have to be very careful and especially you have to be very cautious when building to avoid the problems that earthquakes cause, in reality earthquakes, to be fair, kill few people, which What kills is when a building collapses, an earthquake of the same intensity in Japan is not the same as in a country where its rulers have not built earthquake-resistant buildings and taken care to build infrastructure that can withstand those earthquakes, they should learn from Japan, which are the most advanced on the subject and the ones with the most developed technology.
