WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 01

Although the number of earthquakes recorded today (752) is less than those recorded yesterday (1010), the estimated energy released and the magnitude of the earthquakes are higher.

After the M6 Reykjanes Ridge earthquake the seismic swarm has ceased. In the last 24h only three M4+ earthquakes have been recorded.

Seismic activity may increase in magnitude according to latest SSGEOS forecast

An earthquake of magnitude 5.6 was registered today in Chiapas 130 kilometers southwest of the municipality of Pijijiapan, it was on Saturday morning October 1st at 11:36:51 hours, as reported by the National Symological Service (SSN).

The earthquake in Chiapas was felt in Mexico city, Oaxaca and Veracruz; however, the seismic alert was not activated for any of these states or for Mexico City (CDMX).

The Mexican authority SASMEX mentioned that "it did not merit a seismic alert because the energy estimate in the first seconds did not exceed the pre-established levels. [greater than or equal to magnitude 6]

The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near Ierapetra, Lasíthi, Crete, Greece, early morning on Sunday, October 2nd, 2022, at 6:04 am local time.

Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.

Estimated energy release: 477 tons of TNT

Earthquake Forecast
Critical planetary geometry on 30 September and 1 October can trigger larger seismic activity, most likely 1-3 October, potentially reaching 7+ magnitude.

▪︎Earthquake Forecast Update October 02, 04:40 UTC

Atmospheric fluctuation could point to Kermadec (New Zealand), Fiji/Tonga, Loyalty Islands/Vanuatu, Kuril Islands (Japan)/Kamchatka. This is an estimate. Other regions are not excluded. SSGEOS
 
Last week saw 4 M6 and again 1 M7, being a M7.6 in Mexico. One of the M6 was a M6.8 also in Mexico.
In the usual area, there were 4 out of 115 earthquakes worldwide equal to or greater than 4.5 and 1784 out of 2329 quakes of all sizes.
Percentage: 76.6%
Last week saw 2 M6 earthquakes with the strongest being a M6.5 in the South Sandwich Islands.
In the usual area, there were 1 out of 198 earthquakes worldwide equal to or greater than 4.5 and 1538 out of 2225 quakes of all sizes.
Percentage: 69.1%
I think this could be the lowest in the last 3 years of following this segment of America on USGS). It could signal that pressure is not being released but instead is building.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 02

According to the SSGEOS forecast the planetary configuration may trigger large seismic activity. The highest magnitude earthquake occurred in the Sandwich Islands and reached M5.7

SSN reported an earthquake magnitude 5.6, with epicenter 125 km Northeast of San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur at a depth of 10 km. So far, authorities in San Jose del Cabo, have reported no serious damage; however, more details are being awaited.

An earthquake M4.7 hit Turkey, this is the second earthquake in the region in the last 24 h (first one in Greece M5.3)

The number of earthquakes recorded today exceeded the number of earthquakes recorded yesterday, however, the combined estimate of seismic energy released is lower.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 04

The past 24 hours have been characterized by low magnitude earthquakes in areas that commonly have moderate to greater seismic activity. At the time of writing this report an M5.7 earthquake occurred in Iran. It may be that this earthquake has a cosmic-human component due to the growing demonstrations against the oppression of women in that country. This was the largest event in the period.

Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Marand (pop. 124,200) located 34 km from the epicenter, and Khowy (pop. 175,400) 44 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.

Weak shaking might have been felt in Salmas (pop. 81,600) located 58 km from the epicenter, Qarah Ẕīā'od Dīn (pop. 31,900) 67 km away, Tabriz (pop. 1,424,600) 84 km away, Urmia (pop. 577,300) 94 km away, Nakhichivan (pop. 64,800) 94 km away, and Bonāb (pop. 80,400) 127 km away.

Estimated energy: 5351 tons of TNT or 0.3 atomic bombs

Strong earthquake Peru-Ecuador border region.

An earthquake of magnitude 5.8 occurred early morning on Wednesday, October 5th, 2022, at 3:26 am local time near Sullana, Provincia de Sullana, Piura, Peru,

According to experts, this earthquake was expected to happen as a consequence of the movement of energy towards the Nazca plate after the M7.7 earthquake in Mexico last September 19.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 05

The results of seismic activity during the month of September were published. As expected, September became the month with the highest seismic activity with 22634 earthquakes and with the highest release of seismic energy equivalent to the explosion of 723.4 atomic bombs, due to the occurrence of three Magnitude 7+ earthquakes

Previously the month with the highest seismic activity was March with 15065 earthquakes, a release of energy equivalent to 215.6 atomic bombs. There was undoubtedly a big difference.

The strongest earthquake occurred in Mexico two weeks ago on monday, Sep 19, 2022 at 1:05 pm (06:05 UTC) with a Mag 7.7 North Pacific Ocean, 99 km southeast of Tecoman, Colima, Mexico.

Other strong earthquakes in September occurred in Papua New Guinea with M7.6 and (sep 11) and Vanuatu with a M7.0 (sep 14)

So far in 2022, there has not been an earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater.

Summary for September:
Magnitude 9+: none
Magnitude 8+: none
Magnitude 7+: 3 earthquakes
Magnitude 6+: 15 earthquakes
Magnitude 5+: 149 earthquakes
Magnitude 4+: 1650 earthquakes
Magnitude 3+: 5859 earthquakes

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 06

In the last 24 hours the region south of the Sandwich Islands has recorded five M5+ earthquakes. This region is located between two tectonic plates: the South American plate and the Scotia plate. An M5.1 earthquake also occurred very close to that area and on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Japan was hit by two moderate magnitude earthquakes. A very deep 5.3 quake occurred between the Eurasian plate zone and the Philippine plate, while a M4.5 quake occurred at 18:14 UTC on the Pacific plate.

Three earthquakes of magnitude 8+ were recorded in 2021: M8.2 Alaska (July 28)
M8.1 New Zealand (March 04) M8.1 South Sandwich Islands (August 12) 279 days have elapsed in 2022 without an M8.0+ earthquake.

▪︎Earthquake Forecast

Critical planetary geometry on the 7th is followed by a high lunar peak on the 8th, which can result in larger seismic activity, most likely around the 9. Critical planetary and lunar geometry on the 12th may trigger larger seismic activity 12-14 October.
