WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JUNE 14_2023

The planetary convergence of two conjunctions: Sun, Mercury Saturn on the one hand and Venus Mercury Jupiter on the other left a cluster of earthquakes in the region of the Kermadec Islands.


The last earthquake of this cluster was recorded today, June 14, with a magnitude of 5.5.

The seismic energy that started in the Macquarie Islands and continued with a seismic cluster in the Kermadec Islands north of Auckland, New Zealand finally burst south of the Fiji Islands with an M7.2 earthquake.

On the 13th a convergence of two planetary conjunctions
● Sun Mercury Neptune early
● Followed by Venus Mercury Jupiter later that day

We could see strong to significant seismic activity after this convergence. Most likely around June 14 or 15.

Now we see the result of the convergence of two conjunctions on June 13 and the atmospheric fluctuation recorded on June 6 that targeted the region. Also the M7.2 earthquake followed a Earth, Moon-Mars conjunction on the 14th.

This region has been very active in the last few days. It is possible that this energy is moving towards the Nazca plate and therefore towards the South American plate.

Very strong' earthquake hits western France

A rare 5.8 magnitude earthquake hit large parts of western France on Friday evening, with the seismology bureau BCSF calling it "very strong" amid reports of damage to buildings

Ecology transition minister Christophe Béchu said it was "one of the strongest quakes registered on the mainland".

The national network for seismic surveillance RENASS recorded the quake at 5.3 while the French Central Seismological Bureau (BCSF) put it at 5.8.

"A series of material damage was reported from the southwest of the department," with stone falling off buildings and cracks appearing in walls, the prefecture's statement said.

Further south in the neighbouring Charente-Maritime department cracks appeared in buildings and a power line came down leaving 1,100 homes in the dark.

The earthquake was felt as far afield as Rennes in the north and Bordeaux in the southwest.

In the city of Tours, on the Loire river, law student Lea Franke said she was reading on her bed when she felt the tremors.

“It’s just mind boggling.” More than 19,000 undersea volcanoes discovered
Science
New seamount maps could aid in studies of ecology, plate tectonics, and ocean mixing
19 Apr 2023 1:10 PM By Paul Voosen

The U.S. submarine fleet’s biggest adversary lately hasn’t been Red October. In 2005, the nuclear-powered USS San Francisco collided with an underwater volcano, or seamount, at top speed, killing a crew member and injuring most aboard. It happened again in 2021 when the USS Connecticut struck a seamount in the South China Sea, damaging its sonar array.

With only one-quarter of the sea floor mapped with sonar, it is impossible to know how many seamounts exist. But radar satellites that measure ocean height can also find them, by looking for subtle signs of seawater mounding above a hidden seamount, tugged by its gravity. A 2011 census using the method found more than 24,000. High-resolution radar data have now added more than 19,000 new ones. The vast majority—more than 27,000—remain uncharted by sonar. “It’s just mind boggling,” says David Sandwell, a marine geophysicist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who helped lead the work.

Seamounts often occur in chains formed as tectonic plates ride over stationary plumes of hot rock rising from the mantle. As a result, the catalog will pay immediate dividends for studies of Earth’s interior, says Carmen Gaina, a geophysicist at the Queensland University of Technology. It has already identified new seamounts in the northeast Atlantic Ocean that could help track the evolution of the mantle plume that feeds Iceland’s volcanoes. The survey also spotted seamounts near a ridge in the Indian Ocean where fresh crust is made as tectonic plates spread apart. They suggest a surprising amount of volcanism in a region once thought to be magma starved, Gaina says.

Regarding the recent quake wave in France, here is a screenshot from
Earthquakes - Earthquake today - Latest Earthquakes in the World - EMSC showing the location, and size of the quakes.

From the site. To the left this quake as it was felt, to the right other quakes in and near Europe in the last 24 hours:

The national network for seismic surveillance RENASS recorded the quake at 5.3 while the French Central Seismological Bureau (BCSF) put it at 5.8.

This page, Le Bureau Central Sismologique Français (BCSF) - Cartes des enquêtes , displays quakes since January 2022, to the left and since 1970 to the right:

As seen, the distribution is uneven.

The 5.5 has been upgraded to a 5.8

Following the link for 5.8, there was CEA - DAM A diagram shows the seismicity distribution recorded by the DASE since 1970, 100 km around the current earthquake

The diagram will probably be updated later with the latest quakes:

Regarding the size of the largest quake in the sequence, 5.0, the Earthquakes - Earthquake today - Latest Earthquakes in the World - EMSC figure, and 5.8, CEA - Sciences de la Terre et de l'Environnement, there is a difference of about 16 times in terms of released energy, as a 0.2 difference in magnitude size means that the released energy is twice larger when going up and half when going down. How estimates can vary probably has to do with different instruments placed in different locations. The instruments pick up seismic waves, but the displays on the seismographs then have to be interpreted.
