Meanwhile, according to the ANSA earthquake quakes have raised land by about 10cm near the city of Durres.
Images are taken from radar to Sentinel-1 satellites of the European Copernicus Programme of Agence Spazia, Europe (Esa) and the European Commission, analysed by seismologists from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (Ingv).
The synthetic opening radar (sar) allowed the deformation of the earth to be measured, as happened in the 2009 earthquakes at L'Aquila, 2012 in Emilia Romagna and 2013 in Lunigiana.
The deformity that Albanian territory suffered from the earthquake was measured by the Geohazard-tep platform, developed by the ESA, using a pair of radar images taken by Sentinel-1 satellites from the same country, before and after the earthquake, writes Opinion, broadcasts Klan Kosova.
