Environmental Impact Assessment Study for 400 kV OHL SS Stip – Macedonian-Serbian BorderStruma Seismogenic ZoneIn the area of this seismogenic zone, that spreads on the territory of the Republic ofMacedonia and bordering regions the following epicentre areas are included: Zletovo,Kochani, Delchevo - Berovo, Pehchevo - Kresna and Strumica.The following table shows a summary of the distribution of earthquakes from epicentre areasof the Struma seismogenic zone in the Republic of Macedonia and bordering areas duringthe period 1901 – 1966. (magnitude ML ≥ 4,0).Generally speaking, Struma seismogenic zone in the Republic of Macedonia and borderingareas features with rare strong earthquakes compared to other main seismogenic zones inthe Republic of Macedonia and with continuous occurrence of very weak earthquakes.However, this zone accumulates in itself the largest seismic energy in the Republic ofMacedonia and the entire continental part of the Balkan Peninsula, which is released mostlythrough the epicentre area of Pehchevo – Kresna.The picture shows a map of seismogenic sources on the territory of the Republic ofMacedonia.Transmission route72
