| UAE hit by tremors after Iran earthquake | By Aftab Kazmi, Bureau Chief, Al Ain
Last updated: September 10, 2008, 15:33 | Dubai: Severe tremors were felt in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and other parts of the emirates at around 3.08pm local time forcing people to flee from homes and office.
First tremor reports were received from people located in parts of Deira and Bur Dubai, Captain Sultan Al Merri, Dubai Police Operations Room, Duty Officer told Gulf News.
The tremors first struck off the coast of Sharjah, measuring 4.9 on the Richter scale.
The jolts were so severe that they were felt by the people living in the first and second floors of the building. Police and Civil Defence department has not reported any material damage or causalities.
The quake sent a wave of panic among the residents and most them rushed out in the open and safe places.
The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) is currently collecting details of the earthquake.
People living and working in Al Quasis, Bur Dubai and Dubai Media City said that the tremors lasted for a few seconds. Residents in Sharjah reported their buildings swaying.
揗y office is in Al Quasis. I was so scared. All the 28 people working in our office ran out of the building," said one worker.
The jolts were caused by a powerful earthquake measures 6.2 that occurred in the south-west of the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas. The epicentre of the quake was 43km west of the Qishm Island in the Arabian Gulf.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, the depth of the quake was some 50km in the earth.

Increased seismic activity in Iran could affect fault zones in UAE
By Aftab Kazmi, Bureau Chief
Published: September 12, 2008, 00:30
Al Ain: The recent increase in seismic activity in Iran could have an adverse impact on the three local fault zones in the UAE, experts said on Thursday.
The UAE has three local fault zones - near Dibba, between Bidyah and Jebel Salhal, and Wadi Hum.
Iran has a history of major earthquakes and a major fault line, the Zagros belt, passes through southern Iran.
The UAE is in close geological proximity to Iran and the Makran division of Pakistan that are considered among the biggest fault zones in the world. Most of the tremors felt in the emirates are linked to the seismic activity in those regions, according to geologists.
Wednesday's earthquake has again opened up the debate on the seismic hazards and safety of the civic infrastructure in the country.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The UAE has a history of receiving shocks from earthquakes occurring in Iran and various locations in the Arabian Gulf.
The northern emirates in the UAE have experienced several minor tremors and earthquakes since March 1999. A jolt struck the area on the morning of March 3, 1999, and was followed by a similar tremor on the night of March 11.
According to the US National Earthquake Information Centre in Denver, the UAE is located on the edge of the Arabian Tectonic Plate that has been pushing against the Eurasian plate at a rate of approximately three centimetres per year. The fault line, the meeting points of both the plates, passes through Iran.
It is a natural phenom-enon, said experts, adding that countries located in the seismic zones, tectonic plates, and major fault lines suffer more due to poor building constructions, lack of public awareness and government plans to deal with such natural calamities.
"The earth is dynamic and its seismic activities are normal. People should realise that they are living on places that are moving all the time and must take their precautions and safety measures. Those who forget it do so at their own risk," a senior official of the Middle East and African Section of the US Geological Survey told Gulf News.
Seismologists, he said, have divided the earth into different plates that are slowly colliding with each other. Their movements create stress in the earth's crust that occasionally results in earthquakes.
He said more than 800,000 earthquakes occur every year but the majority of them are of low intensity and people do not feel them. Major earthquakes normally occur occasionally.
According to UAE geologists, the earthquake risks are slightly higher in the northern and eastern parts of the emirates due to their proximity to the Iranian fault line.
These risks are associated with infrastructure damage and their intensity may increase as these areas are located on solid rock, unlike the sandy layers in other parts of the emirates.
The UAE has a large number of buildings and low-rise houses that were built some 20 to 30 years ago in different parts of the emirates. These building are considered more prone to quake-related damage.
Most new buildings in the emirates are being designed according to the latest design codes that include seismic provisions. This applies to all buildings even if they are part of island projects, regardless of the number of storeys, said the experts.
WAM reported on Thursday that 65 aftershocks were monitored in the UAE. |
