WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 09<2023

Earthquake M6.0 in Indonesia occurs after the planetary alignment Sun, Mercury, Neptune and in response to the movement of energy with trajectory to the east of Asia as shown in the map that indicates a clear seismic sequence of 6.2 in Chile, M6.6 in the Kermadec Islands and 6.0 in Indonesia.

On the American side, two earthquakes were recorded in the triple junction region again, which implies a concentration of energy in the Cocos, Nazca and Pacific plates. In addition to this, light seismic activity was registered in the border of Costa Rica and Panama with three M4.5 earthquakes.

Finally, another earthquake in Africa, this time in the Democratic Republic of Congo with a magnitude of 4.6.

Translated from the above link:

"
A clip from a surveillance camera in Morocco showed flashes of blue light in the sky at the moment of the earthquake, which brought to mind the same image when the earthquake occurred in Syria and Turkey months ago.

Blue light

It is a temporary phenomenon. It is a flash that only occurs during an earthquake, and is formed as a result of the fracture that occurs in rock plates or layers.
The fracture that occurs causes severe friction between the two blocks in the fracture or fault area, especially if the friction area is large, reaching 3 or 6 meters.

The effect of friction increases when the fracture is in solid rocks or basalt, which results in high heat and flashing, which is a normal thing after the fracture occurs, in addition to hearing an explosion-like sound as a result of this fracture.
This light or flash does not occur in all earthquakes, but it depends on the region in which the earthquake occurred. In areas where refraction occurs in layers of “silt,” this light is not produced, but it is only associated with solid rocks and movement on both sides of the faults.
This light is electrical charges resulting from refraction and friction, but it is only related to the time of occurrence"

And a video with a detailed analysis of this quake and the possible aftershock(s):

 

[Aeneas]

Last week saw 1 M7, a M7.1 in Indonesia and 1 M6.
In the usual area, there were 3 out of 76 earthquakes worldwide equal to or greater than 4,5 and 1334 out of 1727 quakes of all sizes.
Percentage: 77.2%

Last week saw 4 M6 earthquakes with the highest being the M6.8 in Morocco.
In the usual area, there was 1 out of 105 earthquakes worldwide equal to or greater than 4.5 and 1479 out of 1912 quakes of all sizes.
Percentage: 77.4%

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 10_2023


We have some critical days ahead of us, especially for Mexico, Central America, Chile, Taiwan and Japan region according to a new analysis from Ka-Tet

It is possible that the energy generated by the M6.8 earthquake in Morocco’s will move towards the Atlantic ridge, Iceland, towards the Virgin Islands region in the Caribbean or to the Mediterranean region (South of Italy and Greece) with light to strong earthquakes.

In fact, a light earthquake has been registered in Venezuela.

It is possible that the energy generated by the M6.8 earthquake in Morocco’s will move towards the Atlantic ridge,

Let us hope that this energy continues to move towards the Atlantic ridge and that this means good news for more populated areas such as North Africa or southern Europe (Spain, Italy or Greece).

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 11_2023

Planetary alignment: Sun, Mercury, Venus and Lunar geometries: Earth, Moon, Venus; Earth, Moon, Jupiter on September 11 coincided with two strong events. A M6.0 earthquake in Indonesia and M5.9 in Mid-Atlantic Ridge. A new lunar geometry will be added tomorrow (Earth, Moon, Uranus on September 12)

As can be seen in the SSGEOS graph, there is no doubt that the week of September 3-11 saw a great deal of seismic activity. Unfortunately the M6.8 earthquake in Morocco has so far left 2,900 fatalities.

The Lisbon earthquake occurred before the 1755 earthquake in Morocco mentioned by Frank. It is very likely that these earthquakes were related.
​

November 1 – More than 40,000 people are killed by the 8.5 magnitude earthquake in Lisbon, Portuguese Empire. The tremor begins at 9:40 in the morning local time off of the Atlantic coast of Portugal and sends a tsunami that strikes the coasts of Portugal, Spain and Morocco. Wikipedia​

Will it happen again?

So, they said the Turkey 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.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 12_2023

We ended the earthquake forecast for September 4-12 with an earthquake in Indonesia M6.3, which coincided with the lunar geometry: Earth-moon-Uranus. In this span six M6+ earthquakes occurred, the highest magnitude being 6.8 in Morocco.

Five of the six occurred in the Pacific Ocean and three of the five in Indonesia. This sequence started with the M6.2 earthquake in Chile and the tectonic and electric charge in the atmosphere conditions allowed the energy to move from Chile to Southeast Asia, while the atmospheric fluctuation for the Morocco earthquake was detected on August 30.

Finally, as expected, the energy moved towards Mexico and the Solomon Islands region.​

Clustering of stronger tremors (M≥5.6) could occur over the next two days, with possible low to mid magnitude 6 peaks. Around September 19 would be the most critical days, in the worst case, a M7+ tremor could occur in agreement with the lunar and planetary geometry.​

An hour ago, a new #earthquake of magnitude 4.1 occurred off the Marche coast of Pesaro, Fano and Senigallia in the Adriatic Sea. The quake was faintly felt along the coastal coastline from Porto Recanati and Ancona to Fano and Pesaro.

This morning's quake occurred further east than the ongoing seismic sequence in this area of the Adriatic Sea since November, which is when the two main earthquakes of M 5.5 and 5.2 occurred. The fault involved in this morning's quake is different.

In fact, the November earthquakes occurred along a compressional fault system, that is, where the rock block moves primarily upward. Today's quake, on the other hand, occurred along a transcurrent fault, where movement is lateral, horizontally.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 13_2023

We begin this period of earthquake watch from September 13 to 20 with an M6.1 earthquake in West Chile Rise. This earthquake coincides with the lunar geometry: Moon, Earth, Saturn, so the SSGEOS forecast is accurate.​

Clustering of stronger tremors (M≥5.6) could occur over the next two days, with possible low to mid magnitude 6 peaks

​

● M 6.1 - West Chile Rise
2023-09-13 11:49:15 (UTC)
36.220°S 97.938°W. 10.0 km depth
USGS earthquake alert

It is possible that this M6.1 earthquake will start a new seismic sequence with energy movement towards Central America, Mexico, Alaska and Southeast Asia. In this last region there have been earthquakes of magnitude 5, such is the case of the Solomon Islands (M5.2), New Caledonia (M5.2) and Indonesia (M5.1).

The M5.1 earthquake in Indonesia occurred at a great depth of 648.7 km which leads us to consider the Dutchinse rule for the possibility of a shallower earthquake of approximately M7.3 for the region. Let's wait and see.​

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

On September 8 and 9 we had two very deep earthquakes and within hours and days three M6+ earthquakes were recorded. The largest one happened in the Philippines with M6.3.
