His travel accounts will inspire generations of later naturalists, including Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin, and help geologists to explain the Dolomites as fossil reefs 🏝️

Omori’s Law (and derived versions) is a fundamental empirical rule in seismology that describes how aftershocks decay over time: Aftershocks are most frequent immediately after the main earthquake and their frequency drops quickly at first, then gradually slows down, following a logarithmic curve.

Studying this seismic sequence, Japanese seismologist Fusakichi Omori formulated what is now known as Omori’s law.

The earthquake generated a 25 kilometers long fault escarpment displacing the ground by 0.5-1.5 meters 📷 by Paolo Galli.

The shaking was so strong that the needle of a seismometer station located near the epicenter broke off.
