Our friends in Germany felt an M4 earthquake.

According to European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) the earthquake had a magnitude 4.0 and hit at a very shallow depth of 5 km beneath the epicenter near Hechingen, Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, early morning on Sunday, October 16th, 2022, at 6:13 am local time. (04:13 UTC) USGS downgraded to M3.4 It should not have caused significant damage

Additional / complementary information regarding the M4 earthquake in SW Germany

Vulkane.net had an article about this event, and wrote following

Erdbeben Ml 4,0 erschüttert Deutschland - Vulkane Net Newsblog

Earthquake Ml 4.0 shakes Germany
16 Oct 2022 by Marc Szeglat

Date: 16 Oct 2022 | Time: 04:13:19 UTC | Location: 48.31 N ; 9.02 E | Depth: 3 km | Ml 4.0



This morning, residents of the Albstadt region were rudely roused from their sleep when the earth shook with a magnitude of 4.o at 04:12:19. The value comes from the EMSC. Local earthquake services determined Ml 3.9. The earthquake focus was located at a depth of only 3 km, which led to a quite strong perception of the event. There are 2 perception reports at the EMSC. Not only was the perception enhanced by the shallow depth of the hypocentre, but also the destructive potential of the earthquake, so there may have been slight damage to buildings.

The epicentre was located 10 km north-north-west of Albstadt, more precisely, 2 km from the edge of the village of Onstmettingen. The larger town of Reutlingen is 24 km away. The region is one of the areas in Germany where moderate earthquakes occur more frequently. Most recently, an earthquake Ml 4.1 manifested itself in July. In 2019, there was an earthquake Ml 4.0.

In fact, the Swabian Alb region is one of the most earthquake-prone areas in Germany. In 1911, the strongest earthquake that has occurred on German soil since systematic earthquake recording took place here: it had a magnitude of 6.1 and destroyed 6250 buildings.

The quakes manifest themselves along the 30 km long and 1.5 km wide Hohenzollerngraben. It is evidence of the Alpine orogeny and was formed 15 million years ago. In the rim area of the trench, there are several fault zones that have a vertical offset of up to 100 m. They do not run vertically, but instead are formed by the earthquake. They do not run vertically, but dip obliquely towards the trench, forming a "V" that closes the trench at about 3000 m depth. It is to be expected that earthquakes will continue to occur in the region in the future.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 16

The M6.3 earthquake off the coast of Central America was classified as an intraplate earthquake. It occurred within the Cocos plate. (Intraplate)

There is a classification that distinguishes earthquakes according to their source of origin and proximity to the limits or boundaries between tectonic plates: Interplate or Intraplate

INTERPLATE earthquakes are those that occur directly associated with the contact between two plates, for example between the Cocos plate and the Caribbean plate, which are usually of considerable magnitude and with depths of no more than 40 km.


INTRAPLATE earthquakes are those that occur as internal deformation of the plates. They can occur anywhere where there are active geological faults. These earthquakes are less common and generally of lesser magnitude. In the case of the Cocos plate, they can have depths from 0 to 230 km (The earthquake M6 3 this morning was very superficial at 10Km), while the Caribbean Intraplate are earthquakes with depths of less than 30 km. Intraplate earthquakes of moderate magnitude, superficial and close to cities, can cause more damage than interplate earthquakes of great magnitude.


Apart from the M6.3 earthquake, the past 24 hours have been characterized by low magnitude earthquakes.

Today marks 33 years since the Loma Prieta earthquake. What have we learned?

15 seconds that changed the San Francisco Bay Area: Devastation of the 1989 quake remembered

The San Francisco Bay Area was celebrating on October 17, 1989, as both home teams faced off against each other in Game 3 of the World Series. The mood lasted until 5:04 p.m. when the Loma Prieta earthquake, a 6.5 magnitude, shook for 15 seconds and changed the Bay Area forever.

Pico de Orizaba, also known as Citlaltépetl (from Nahuatl citlal(in) = star, and tepētl = mountain), is an inactive stratovolcano, the highest mountain in Mexico[1] and the third highest in North America, after Denali of Alaska in the United States and Mount Logan of Canada. Pico de Orizaba is also the highest volcanic summit in North America. It rises 5,636 metres (18,491 ft) above sea level in the eastern end of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, on the border between the states of Veracruz and Puebla.[1] The volcano is currently dormant but not extinct, with the last eruption taking place during the 19th century. It is the second most prominent volcanic peak in the world after Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 18

The past 24 hours were characterized by low magnitude earthquakes. Of these, it is worth mentioning the 5.0 magnitude earthquake in Chile, which registered a depth of 459.3km the 5.0 magnitude quake had an epicenter in Ovalle, Provincia de Limari, in the Coquimbo region. In the past 24 hours, Provincia de Limari, Coquimbo Region, Chile had 6 quakes up to magnitude 5.0. This type of moderate magnitude earthquakes do not usually cause alarm among the Chilean population, accustomed to feel earthquakes of much greater magnitude during the year.

A strong 6.7 magnitude earthquake has shaken western Panama, though there were no initial reports of damage



A strong 6.7 magnitude earthquake shook western Panama early Thursday, though there were no initial reports of damage.

Panama's national civil defense agency said via Twitter that the earthquake was felt in Herrera, Bocas del Toro, Veraguas and western Panama.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake occurred at a depth of 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) about 62 kilometers (39 miles) south-southwest of Boca Chica, Panama, off the country's Pacific coast.

Possibly the 6.7 magnitude earthquake in Panama (Cocos plate) caused the increase of seismic activity in the Caribbean plate. In the last 24 hours the following earthquakes were recorded in the Caribbean region:

●M 2.5 - Mona Passage (Puerto Rico)
●M3.5 - 60 km SE of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
●M 3.3 - 37 km N of San Antonio, Puerto Rico
●M 3.0 - 2 km SW of Palmarejo, Puerto Rico.
●M 2.5 - 5 km E of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico
●M 3.0 - 70 km N of Brenas, Puerto Rico
●M 2.6 - 4 km S of Magas Arriba, Puerto Rico.

Some experts point out that the energy from the M7.6 earthquake in Mexico is still migrating towards the Nazca plate. The Panama earthquake and recent activity in the Caribbean and South America seem to indicate this. In the past 24 hours, minor to moderate activity was also recorded in South America.

● M 4.2 - 84 km E of Arica, Chile
● M 4.7 - 41 km W of Ovalle, Chile
● M 4.7 - 84 km W of Abra Pampa, Argentina
● M 4.6 - near the coast of northern Peru
● M 4.4 - 52 km WSW of La Quiaca, Argentina

An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 occurred around noon on Friday, October 21st, 2022, at 1:45 pm local time near Al Hoceima, Al-Hoceima, Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, Morocco. According to EMSC the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 2 km. Weak shaking might have been felt in Tirhanimîne (pop. 55,800)

● 295 days have elapsed without an M8 or greater earthquake.

● SSGEOS Forecast earthquake
Multiple lunar peaks converging with critical planetary geometry can trigger larger seismic activity, most likely on 23-24 October and 26-27 October, potentially reaching magnitude 7. There is a slight possibility of a mega-thrust earthquake (magnitude 8+) from 29 to 31 October.

On 20 October 2022 a strong earthquake occurred south of Panama at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 11:57:11 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.8.

A lunar peak on the 19th followed on critical planetry geometry that occurred on 16 and 18 October. Saturn was critically involved due to its alignment with the Sun and Mercury that was followed by the Moon's alignment with Saturn a day later. In addition, Mercury and Venus made critical geometry with Saturn around the time of the earthquake.
