  1. So if we put an oiled bearing between the two we are good?

  2. It does not mean one day you will get a big one. It can mean you will get 10 small ones. No need to scare people for nothing. You can get a big one in 1000 years or maybe not even. The sun will die at some point as well no need to dwell on that

  3. Last “big” earthquake in cyprus was before i was even born.

  4. I think reality is the other way around though. It’s better to have many small ones because then the probability that all that energy is released in a large one decreases. I’m not an expert though.

  5. Probably that’s why Larnaca has already installed road signs with tsunami evacuation routes. It’s the first city in Europe or Mediterranean to be tsunami ready.

  6. Last big one i can remember was in the 90s. We’re due for another one
