Abstract:
Spatial and temporal distribution of the seismicity observed on the Bulgarian territory in 2022 is presented. The list includes 202 earthquakes with magnitude Mw>2.5, observed in Bulgaria and the surrounding area within latitude 41°- 44.5°N and longitude λ = 22° – 29°E which are registered by the National Operating Telemetry System for Seismological Information (NOTSSI). 2022 is characterized by weak seismicity – dominated by events of magnitude less than 3.0. Only eleven earthquakes had magnitudes larger than 3.5, the strongest of which happened on the 04.04.2022 with Mw=4.2. As observed in the previous years, the highest activity is reported in the southwestern part of the territory of Bulgaria.
Keywords:
