WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 08_2023

Very High levels of seismic activity have been recorded in the past 24 hours which has occurred with the Earth, Moon, Neptune and Earth, Moon, Mars lunar geometries and with the Venus, Mercury, Mars and Sun, Mercury, Earth planetary alignments.

We see a seismic clustering in the Japan region but also the movement of seismic energy as expected towards Southeast Asia and North America. Two M5+ earthquakes were recorded off western Mexico and one M5.0 in northern California. According to the theory developed by SSGEOS these seismic clusters are an indication of major activity. Let's wait and see.

Well as I write this there is an preliminary M7.0 earthquake in Morocco.

What is interesting is that an atmospheric fluctuation for the Morocco earthquake was detected by SSGEOS on August 30, while for the Kermadec Islands earthquake on September 2. Also as can be seen in the fluctuation map of August 30 there are exact fluctuations in the region of the Ascension Island where M5+ earthquakes occurred in the past few days.​

EARTHQUAKE UPDATE

Significant seismic activity is expected within a four-day period (September 9-12) according to Ka-Tet's latest seismicity analysis.

These events must be monitored

M 4.9 - south of the Fiji Islands

This is due to the depth at which these earthquakes occurred, 660 km and 509 km. The Dutchsinse depth to magnitude conversion table indicates a magnitude of 1.3 and 1.0 above respectively, this means that we could expect earthquakes of M6.2 and M6.6.​

Depth to Magnitude conversion chart – Pressure from below creates force up above (lever arm action). For every 100km depth , you are to add on 0.2 magnitude to the original deep earthquakes magnitude.. EXAMPLE : M5.0 strikes at a depth of 500km .. it can cause a shallower earthquake up to 1 magnitude larger….. the deep M5.0 earthquake can cause a shallower M6.0 near the surface. dutchsinse.com

So, the hypothesis then is that if an earthquake occurs at great depth then a stronger but shallower earthquake can be expected.

The likely region for this event would be the Solomon Islands and Tonga, possibly with a worst-case M7+ earthquake, which could also occur in Chile at the other end of the fulcrum.

At least 630 dead as powerful earthquake hits Morocco near Marrakesh​

A 6.8-magnitude earthquake has hit Morocco killing at least 630 people, injuring more than 320, damaging buildings, and sending terrified residents fleeing their homes into the streets for safety.

Morocco’s state television reported the doubling of the death toll Saturday morning from overnight, citing the ministry of the interior. Of those injured, 51 were in a critical condition.

Residents of Marrakesh, the nearest big city to the epicentre, said some buildings collapsed in the old city, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Local television showed images of a fallen mosque minaret with rubble lying on smashed cars.

At least 630 dead as powerful earthquake hits Morocco near Marrakesh

The earthquake struck late on Friday evening with the epicentre 75km west of Marrakesh, a major economic centre.

After the earthquake in Morocco, the southern region of Spain should be on alert for possible light seismic activity.

The energy of the M5+ earthquakes in western Mexico could move towards the north of the Republic, especially towards Baja California (Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Peñasco, Gulf of California) with which we could expect an M6.0 earthquake in the worst case and an M4.0 in southern California (San Diego, Los Angeles).

To the south, a similar response is expected that would shake Chiapas, Guatemala or El Salvador, possibly with an earthquake between M5.7 and M6.0 as a worst case scenario. For the area of Guerrero and Oaxaca an M5 5 and in the worst case M6+ earthquake could be expected.

Let's wait and see​

About the quake in Morocco. This is from the Feb this year session.

Q: (Joe) Just to promote global warming and climate change. So, they said the Turkey [quake] one was part of a sequence?

A: Yes. This year there will be more.

Q: (Joe) When you say "sequence", you don't necessarily mean in the same geographic region then?

A: No

Q: (Joe) On the...

A: However, watch Africa.

Q: (Joe) Africa doesn't usually have quakes.
