The Al-Baha region in southern Saudi Arabia has experienced an earthquake for the second time in a week.
According to Geological Survey Authority (GSA) spokesperson Tariq Aba Al-Khail, the quake measured 1.95 on the Richter scale and was centered at a depth of 5 and a half kilometers.
According to Aba Al-Khail, some people in Al-Baha felt the earthquake because it was so close to the surface of the earth. The earthquake was small and did not pose any danger, he said.
Rather than a collision with another plate, Saudi Arabia is on a divergent plate boundary, so its earthquakes are all small.
A thoughtful distribution of more than 300 seismic observatories has been made throughout the Kingdom, he said.
On Wednesday morning, a 3.62 magnitude earthquake occurred in the southwest of Al-Baha Province.
