WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT MARCH 16_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past hours. As expected, light to moderate activity was recorded in Mexico and Central America.​

On the other hand, according to the Ramos Analysis, the energy of the M6.0 earthquake in Mid Atlantic Ridge on March 14 could migrate towards the Caribbean, Central America and southeastern Mexico causing an M5+ earthquake and in the worst case M6

A M5.0 earthquake hit North Pacific Ocean, Mexico, 169 km southwest of Tapachula, Chiapas State. The largest and closest town where the earthquake could have been felt is Playa Linda, a town with 457 inhabitants in Mexico, 142 km northeast of the epicenter. SSN reported the earthquake as M4.6

USGS issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. No aftershocks have been recorded so far. The earthquake occurred at the boundaries of the North American Plate and the Cocos Plate. Another lighter earthquake was recorded in Costa Rica with an M4.5 between the Cocos Plate and the Caribbean Plate.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has increased to 1091 which is above normal range of activity. Seismic activity at Iceland's volcanoes has increased slightly.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Campi Flegrei (7 quakes between mag 0.1-1.6), Clear Lake (38 quakes between mag 0.2-3.0), Eldey (5 quakes between mag 0.4-1.4), Fagradalsfjall (65 quakes between mag 0.0-2.4), Hrómundartindur (9 quakes between mag 0.1-1.0), Reykjanes (27 quakes between mag 0.0-1.2)

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Don Joao de Castro Bank volcano with magnitude 3.0 located 68 km southeast of Angra do Heroismo, Azores, on Friday, Mar 15, 2024, at 11:26 pm​

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT MARCH 20_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. The seismological service of Mexico reported an M5.0 earthquake in the State of Oaxaca. The closest larger town where the quake might have been felt is Juchitan de Zaragoza, a town with 75,000 inhabitants in Mexico, in 84 km distance south of the epicenter. USGS issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. No aftershocks have been recorded so far. The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 8.0. It had occurred 96 years ago.

A strong magnitude 5.6 earthquake occurred in the South Atlantic Ocean near Visokoi Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The quake had a moderate depth of 118 km and was not felt or at least not reported so. Due to its remoteness and lack of infrastructure, there are no permanent population on the islands today. The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured M8.1. It had occurred 3 years ago earlier, on Aug 12, 2021

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has increased to 943 which is above the normal range of activity.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT MARCH 23_2024

Very High levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A strong earthquake of magnitude 7.0 reported by BMKG and revised by USGS to magnitude 6.9 hit 93 km from Wewak, East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. The closest larger town where the quake might have been felt is Wewak, a town with 18,000 inhabitants in Papua New Guinea, in 93 km distance northeast of the epicenter. USGS issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. 3 aftershocks have been detected so far and the strongest was a M5.3. It is worth mentioning that this aftershock was only reported BMKG​

Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface of approx. 1,000 km2 (=386 sqare miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 55 km (34 mi). Volcanodiscovery​

The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 7.8. It had occurred 89 years ago.

Moon-Earth-Saturn and Moon-Earth-Venus geometries coincided with the M6.9 earthquake.​

We will see the responses to this M6.9 earthquake, mainly towards the regions of Japan, Indonesia, Vanuatu-Fiji-Tonga and Kermadec Islands and in America, mainly Chile.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has decreased to 853 which is within the normal range of activity.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Brennisteinsfjöll (10 quakes between mag 0.3-2.2), Clear Lake (39 quakes between mag 0.5-2.6), Kilauea (10 quakes between mag 1.7-2.5), Krísuvík (6 quakes between mag 0.7-1.4)

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Machin volcano with magnitude 4.2 epicenter located in Colombia, 19 km west of Ibagué, Tolima, on Saturday, Mar 23, 2024, at 02:25 am (Bogota time)

Interesting to consider this in light of yesterday's events in Ukraine, Russia, and the recent controversies around the Duchess of Cambridge's health and Brigitte Macron. Human-Cosmic connection at work?

An earthquake in Tajikistan, with some of the suspects of the terrorist attack in Moscow reported as being from Tajikistan? What are the odds?

As above so below. We have seen in the last two days and especially today how solar activity remains at high levels as well as seismic activity. While this is happening on Earth and in the skies, humanity seems to be heading for a major political, economic and social upheaval.​

Last week saw 2 M6.0 earthquakes; one in PNG and the other in the North Atlantic Ridge Region.
In the usual area, there was 1 out of 77 earthquakes worldwide equal to or greater than 4.5 and 1619 out of 1909 quakes of all sizes.
Percentage: 84.8%

Last week saw 2 M6 with the highest being a M6.9 in Papua New Guinea.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT MARCH 24_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A series of M5+ earthquakes hit Southeast Asia in response to the M6.9 earthquake in Papua New Guinea. This movement of energy was expected and may in fact originate a significant event in the region. The Recent quakes worldwide map shows the distribution of the earthquakes on both sides of the epicenter which was located in Ambunti P.N.G.

As can be seen the energy has moved as far as Afghanistan on one side and New Zealand on the other, northward to the Kuril Islands and eastward the first wave of energy as far as Chile.​

We will see the responses to this M6.9 earthquake, mainly towards the regions of Japan, Indonesia, Vanuatu-Fiji-Tonga and Kermadec Islands and in America, mainly Chile.

According to analyst Jesús Ramos, an M6+ and in the worst case M7.5 event could be expected for the Banda Sea region, Flores Sea, southern Japan and the Philippines.

He also pointed out that in America, Mexico could register an M5+ earthquake and in the worst case M6.3 with epicenter in Guerrero or Oaxaca. While for Chile, a M6+ earthquake could be expected and in the worst case M7.4 with epicenter in the region of Valparaíso. On the other hand, Peru, Ecuador and Argentina could register a M5+ earthquake and in the worst case M7.0.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has decreased to 799 which is within the normal range of activity.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Bardarbunga (8 quakes between mag 0.5-3.5), Brennisteinsfjöll (7 quakes between mag 0.2-1.9), Clear Lake (31 quakes between mag 0.6-2.2), Fagradalsfjall (6 quakes between mag 0.7-1.1), Kilauea (7 quakes between mag 1.7-2.3), Krísuvík (10 quakes between mag 0.3-2.5)

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Bardarbunga volcano with magnitude 3.5 epicenter located in Iceland, 5.6 km NE of Bárðarbunga on Saturday, Mar 23, 2024, at 11:20 pm
