Week 3: Sudan's Earthquakes

-




 As of recent years, Sudan has not been affected by earthquakes and they have one of the lowest percentages in the world of seeing an earthquake happen in the next 50 years. In recent years the countries surrounding Sudan have expected some earthquakes between 4.4-4.6 magnitude quakes within the last year. The last earthquake that hit Sudan was recorded on May 24th, 1990. The magnitude captured was 7.1 which landed directly in Juba and the Western Equatoria of Sudan. When earthquakes hit the country, they aren't officially reported, so it's hard to keep track of when they occur. I also know from experiences of being out there that low-volume quakes happen from time to time and you might not notice depending on where you are during the event.

The country of Sudan has 4 Volcanoes within its borders. The government is also classified as having a high volcanic rate country. The location of these Volcanos cover-up about 75% of the country. Recently in the last 100 years, there haven't been any signs of volcanoes or one happening in the near future, but the zone the land is located in has a high risk of a volcano. The last volcano that existed in the country of Sudan was about 5,000 years ago in Bayuda.  The Bayuda volcanic field is located near the center of the Bayuda desert of NE Sudan.
