Kandy tremor caused by pressure of limestone fractures

02 Sep 2020

The suspected cause of the second tremor in the Kandy district was the fractures and cavities in the limestone situated near the Victoria reservoir, according to the Geological Survey and Mines Bureau (GSMB). “It is suspected that the pressure released from the limestone cavities, which dissolve very easily, and the movements within the Victoria reservoir resulted in this minor tremor,” Mr. Udaya De Silva, Senior Director, Geology at GSMB told The Morning. However, he said that the investigations are still ongoing. He further stated that the second tremor in the Pallekele area was extremely local compared to the initial tremor which happened on the 29th August. The confirmed causes of both tremors are expected to be revealed within the next two days.
