HONG KONG, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6 jolted 298 km SW of Bluff, New Zealand at 16:36:53 GMT on Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The epicenter, with a depth of 10.0 km, was initially determined to be at 48.2427 degrees south latitude and 165.1956 degrees east longitude.

During the past 24 hours, there were 4 quakes of magnitude 5.0 or above, 32 quakes between 4.0 and 5.0, 139 quakes between 3.0 and 4.0, and 272 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. There were also 420 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel.

As of 8:00 p.m. on November 5, 2021, there have been 2,142 aftershocks of the M 7.1 earthquake
that occurred in Guerrero on September 7, 2021, the largest of M 5.2.
Two earthquakes shook Interior Alaska Friday afternoon, the Alaska Earthquake Center reported.
The first, a 3.4 magnitude quake, hit at 2:12 p.m. and was 0.4-mile deep,according to the center. The quake was centered 14 miles west of Salcha and 19 miles southwest of Eielson Air Force Base. Less than a minute later, a 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck the same area.
The 2.8-mile deep quake was centered 14 miles west of Salcha and 18 miles southwest of Eielson Air Force Base.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries as a result of either earthquake.
“They were separated by only about 13 seconds,” said Stephen Holpkamp, an analyst for the Alaska Earthquake Center. “The one that people felt was magnitude 4.0. The other one probably wasn’t felt because it was just too small and the seismic waves at that point were probably overlapping.”
“This is part of a distributed series of faults that sort of cut throughout the town from Minto to the west past Salcha to the east,” Holpkamp said. “These types of earthquakes are expected, we’ve had them in the past, we will have them in the future.”
Holpkamp encouraged residents to prepare their homes for future quakes.
“We do live in earthquake country and anything you can do to help mitigate losses from earthquake hazards like strapping down your bookshelves and making sure nothing can fly around the room in an earthquake is always a good thing to do,” he said.
Social media across the Interior reported feeling the quake from Salcha to Ester and other locations across Fairbanks.
“I live in North Pole and I sure did feel it. We live off badger and it shot for a few moments let me tell you everything in my room was moving,” one woman wrote in the Fairbanks, Alaska Facebook page.
The Alaska Earthquake Center is asking for reports from anyone who felt the shake.

In Southern California, scientists listening to rumblings deep underground found seismic activity at deeper-than-expected levels, and it may signal new earthquake extremes, according to a new study. Deeper or smaller seismic activity can be very...
During the past 24 hours, there were 3 quakes of magnitude 5.0 or above, 56 quakes between 4.0 and 5.0, 93 quakes between 3.0 and 4.0, and 206 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. There were also 449 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel.
During the past 24 hours, there were 1 quake of magnitude 6.0, 4 quakes between 5.0 and 6.0, 32 quakes between 4.0 and 5.0, 110 quakes between 3.0 and 4.0, and 228 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. There were also 449 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel.
During the past 24 hours, 119 quakes of magnitudes from 2.3 up to 3.7 maximum have been registered under the volcano as of this update. Larger ones have been absent since the 5.1 event yesterday morning, but this can of course change again quickly.
(eboard10) Someone on Twitter (Canadian earthquake researcher) predicts that a 10+ earthquake with the epicenter around the Philippines will hit between now and mid-2023 due to the release of an existing blocking of tectonic plates. How likely is that to happen?
