0
The third small earthquake in a week struck the province of Groningen early Sunday morning. The quake registered a magnitude of 2.3, and its epicenter was in Startenhuizen, meteorological agency KNMI said. It struck seconds before 4:08 a.m., and was followed by an aftershock registering 0.9 about four minutes later, data from the agency showed. The earthquake was determined to be induced by human activity, a fairly common occurrence in the region due to decades of natural gas extraction.Submitted by Frances Isabelle Marcelis on Sunday, 19 July 2020 - 09:38 https://nltimes.nl/2020/07/19/third-earthquake-week-hits-groningen-province
