A magnitude 4.7 earthquake on the Richter scale struck the southern island of Crete in Greece, but so far there are no reports of injuries or material damage. The earthquake was recorded on Monday at 18:49, about 56 kilometers southeast of Goudouras, in the eastern part of Crete, at a depth of more than 29 kilometers. Crete is located near the area where the European and African tectonic plates collide with each other. For this reason, the island is part of one of the areas most at risk from earthquakes in Greece, which is ranked among the regions with the highest seismic activity in the world.
