Generation of equatorial plasma bubble after the 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption
Abstract.
Equatorial plasma bubbles are a phenomenon of plasma density depletion with small-scale density irregularities, normally observed in the equatorial ionosphere. This phenomenon, which impacts satellite-based communications, was observed in the Asia-Pacific region after the largest-on-record January 15, 2022 eruption of the Tonga volcano. We used satellite and ground-based ionospheric observations to demonstrate that an air pressure wave triggered by the Tonga volcanic eruption could cause the emergence of an equatorial plasma bubble. The most prominent observation result shows a sudden increase of electron density and height of the ionosphere several ten minutes to hours before the initial arrival of the air pressure wave in the lower atmosphere. The propagation speed of ionospheric electron density variations was ~ 480–540 m/s, whose speed was higher than that of a Lamb wave (~315 m/s) in the troposphere. The electron density variations started larger in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere. The fast response of the ionosphere could be caused by an instantaneous transmission of the electric field to the magnetic conjugate ionosphere along the magnetic field lines. After the ionospheric perturbations, electron density depletion appeared in the equatorial and low-latitude ionosphere and extended at least up to ±25° in geomagnetic latitude.

Concern about the accumulation of seismic energy in northern Chile.
The article was published in the journal "Geophysical Research Letters" and provides information on seismic conditions in Chile. According to Chilean researchers, a significant accumulation of seismic energy has been detected in the Antofagasta region in the north of the country, which has experienced several moderate-intensity telluric movements in recent months.
The study, based on a coupling model of the Chilean subduction, uses advanced mathematical and computational tools to analyze the deformation and rotation of the South American continental plate. The researchers involved in this study are Francisco Ortega Culaciati and Vicente Yáñez Cuadra, from the Department of Geophysics (DGF) of the University of Chile.
One of the highlights of this study is a new method developed to estimate the degree of coupling or seismic potential along the interface of the Nazca and South American tectonic plates between Antofagasta and La Serena. Calculating the coupling between tectonic plates is a complex challenge, since it is performed from measurements of movements at the Earth's surface, even though the events occur at a depth of several kilometers.
The analysis includes considerations on the effects of previous seismic movements, as well as tectonic and geological processes, such as the coupling between tectonic plates, the rotation and translation of tectonic microplates, deformations in the Earth's mantle and even the uplift of the Andes Mountains.
The first conclusions of the study indicate a high accumulation of seismic energy in the area closest to the tectonic plate contact off the coast of Antofagasta, where an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 occurred in 1995. Two other areas with a high degree of coupling between tectonic plates were also identified, located in the areas of Taltal and Copiapó, and Vallenar and La Serena.
Francisco Ortega warned that the so-called "Atacama seismic lagoon" has been affected by earthquakes in the past, such as those that occurred in 1819 and 1922, separated by almost 100 years. Although it is not possible to predict when the next major earthquake will occur in the area, it is reasonable to expect that the energy accumulated since 1922 will be released sometime in the future.
It is important to remember that in 1960, the city of Valdivia, in the Los Rios region, experienced the strongest earthquake recorded in modern times, with a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT MAY 24_2023
The seismic energy from the Loyalty Islands M7.7 earthquake and M7.6 earthquake in Tonga is moving as expected and the latest major earthquake shook the Banda sea in Indonesia.
Atmospheric fluctuations were detected five days ago
M4+ earthquakes have been recorded in China, Nepal, Japan and Iran so far, but we have not seen a larger magnitude response in the Americas. SSGEOS mentions the following
The last highest magnitude earthquake in the Americas occurred in Guatemala with a M6.4 and was an intraplate earthquake.
Guatemala thus becomes a fulcrum point and an equal response is expected on both sides of the epicenter. In 2017 there was also a 6.8 earthquake in Guatemala that was intraplate and two months later a magnitude 7.1 quake shook the state of Morelos in Mexico and was catastrophic for Mexico City.
Ka-tet mentions that it is very possible an intraplate earthquake with origin in the region of Puebla and Morelos in the coming days Ka-tet estimates a M5+ earthquake and in the worst case M6+
The greatest concentration of energy is in Central America and the Caribbean and to a lesser extent in Ecuador and Peru. But so far there is no compensation in Chile, so it is estimated an earthquake M6+ and in the worst case M7+ in the coming days.

M4+ earthquakes have been recorded in China, Nepal, Japan and Iran so far, but we have not seen a larger magnitude response in the Americas. SSGEOS mentions the following
The last highest magnitude earthquake in the Americas occurred in Guatemala with a M6.4 and was an intraplate earthquake.
Guatemala thus becomes a fulcrum point and an equal response is expected on both sides of the epicenter. In 2017 there was also a 6.8 earthquake in Guatemala that was intraplate and two months later a magnitude 7.1 quake shook the state of Morelos in Mexico and was catastrophic for Mexico City.
Ka-tet mentions that it is very possible an intraplate earthquake with origin in the region of Puebla and Morelos in the coming days Ka-tet estimates a M5+ earthquake and in the worst case M6+
The greatest concentration of energy is in Central America and the Caribbean and to a lesser extent in Ecuador and Peru. But so far there is no compensation in Chile, so it is estimated an earthquake M6+ and in the worst case M7+ in the coming days.
