Earthquakes around the world

Unfortunately, one person died because of the debris 😕


It is reported over 30 aftershocks and counting…

Here are more pictures and videos from the region

Earthquake in Bosnia Herzegovina: Mw 5.7
23 April 2022 by Marc Szeglat

- There was an earthquake Mw 5.7 in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- One death and several injuries were reported
- There was slight damage to buildings


Date: 22 April 2022 | Time: 21:07:49 UTC | Location: 43.07 N ; 18.16 E| Depth: 5 km | Mw 5.7

An earthquake of instantaneous magnitude 5.7

struck the coast of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The hypocentre was located at a depth of only 5 km. The epicentre was located 16 km east of Stolac. The strong earthquake occurred at 23:07:49 local time and jolted many people out of their sleep. But it did not stop there: the earthquake caused a rockfall and a rock crashed into a house. A woman died and several people were injured. In addition, minor damage to buildings was reported in the towns of Stolac, Ljubinje and Mostar, mostly due to cracks in the houses. At the EMSC there are 2 perception reports. The earthquake was felt in large parts of the Western Balkans. There have already been 12 aftershocks. The strongest had a magnitude of 4.4.

Tectonic situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina

The earthquake occurred in the coastal region and only about 40 km north of the well-known holiday resort of Dubrovnik on the Adriatic Sea. The motor for the large-scale tectonic movements here is the plate collision of Africa with Europe. In the process, the Adriatic spur -as part of Africa - pushes against the Alps, so that the mountains continue to grow. To the west of the spur rises the Dinaric Mountains, in which several large fault zones formed perpendicular to the plate boundary. The current earthquake manifested itself on one of these fault zones, which was probably the Mostar Fault.

1667 Earthquake: assumed Mw 7.0

There have been strong earthquakes in the region in the past, which have claimed the lives of many people. The earthquake of 1667, which occurred near the city centre of Dubrovnik and largely destroyed it, became sadly famous. About 10% of the population died, which amounted to a good 3000 people. There was a major fire and rockfalls. In addition, tsunamis were generated. It is assumed that the quake had a magnitude of 7.0.

VENUS-JUPITER CONJUNCTION: Set your alarm for dawn. Venus and Jupiter are converging for a tight conjunction in the morning sky. At closest approach on April 30th they'll be just a fraction of a degree apart. Tomorrow morning the crescent Moon joins the show when it glides by the converging pair

We're now entering a high lunar peak, which may result in larger seismic activity in the next few days. See also ditrianum.org

Let's wait and see
 
The National Observatory of Athens (NOA) reported a magnitude 5.2 quake in Greece near Kythira, Nomós Piraiós, Attica, 01:51 UTC . The earthquake hit early morning on Wednesday, April 27th, 2022, at 4:51 am local time at an intermediate depth of 96.7 km
