WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 14_2023

The Mercury, Sun, Mars planetary alignment coincided with a seismic cluster of M5+ earthquakes. Most of these were due to the movement of energy now towards South America. This new sequence started with the M6.3 earthquake in the Philippines and the first impact occurred in West Chile Rise with an M6.1 earthquake, from here the energy will be distributed towards the north of the continent and towards the South Sandwich Islands. In fact, Colombia registered today two 5+ magnitude earthquakes while Easter Island registered an M5.6.

With the movement of energy to the north, it is possible that Colombia, Nicaragua, Panama and Costa Rica will have an M5.5 or in the worst case M6+ earthquake. On the Caribbean side, an M5+ earthquake could be expected, while for Central America and Mexico an M5+ and in the worst case M6+ earthquake could occur. Let's wait and see

As expected, the energy from the M6.1 West Chile Rise earthquake moved toward central Chile and the southern Sandwich Islands. A cluster of three M5+ earthquakes shook the islands which could mean good news for Chile as seismic activity in the Sandwich Islands releases pressure for central and southern Chile.​

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 16_2023

Seismic activity was moderate in the past 24 hours. The highest magnitude event was recorded at the Bay of Plenty with a record of 5.2. This event was only reported by GFZ. On the other hand, seismic activity continues in West Chile Rise very close to the Easter Island as well as in the South Sandwich Islands. According to analyst Jesús Ramos this may result in a strong earthquake that at worst would reach M7. According to the analyst the energy released in the South Sandwich Islands is not enough to rule out this scenario of a severe earthquake in Chile.

After the M6.3 earthquake in the Philippines there has been no response in regions such as Northern New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, Indonesia, Japan or the Philippines. At least one M6.5 and in the worst case M7+ event will be recorded in these areas. On the American side, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador and Chile face the same scenario.

As for the geometries of September 16, Earth, Moon, Mars and Sun, Mercury, Jupiter were recorded. The next geometries will occur on September 19, according to SSGEOS the latter is the most critical.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 17_2023

Seismic activity was moderate in the past 24 hours. The highest magnitude event was recorded in Port McNeill Canada with a magnitude 5.6 however, the earthquakes in northern and southern Chile and the cluster in the Sandwich Islands is something to watch for a possible major event. As seen in the SSGI graph since September 13, there has been no response to the M6.1 West Chile Rise earthquake and no response to the M6.3 earthquake in the Philippines.

Seismic activity was at moderate levels in the past 24 hours. As expected and after the M6.3 earthquake in the Philippines a response of the same magnitude occurred in the China Sea 181 km north of Hirara, Miyakojima Shi, Okinawa, Japan.​

After the M6.3 earthquake in the Philippines there has been no response in regions such as Northern New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, Indonesia, Japan or the Philippines. At least one M6.5 and in the worst case M7+ event will be recorded in these areas

The earthquake in the China Sea occurs after the lunar geometry Earth, Moon, Mars and the planetary alignment Sun, Mercury, Jupiter but it is also worth considering that on September 13 an earthquake occurred in Indonesia at a depth of 648.7 km. According to Dutchsinse's depth to magnitude conversion chart for every 100 km of depth, 0.2 is added to the magnitude of the original earthquake. The possible earthquake will be shallower.​

This earthquake is not as strange as it seems, is quite near to the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico

The Santiago River fault: the great seismic threat to the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area

... Earthquakes originating on the coast have reached scales of up to 8.2, but with few aftereffects in the Metropolitan Zone. It has been the earthquakes generated in the geological faults of the Santiago River and in the area of Jocotepec that have generated the most devastating tremors for the city, some of up to 7.5 as the one that occurred in 1875 and destroyed San Cristobal de la Barranca and part of Zapopan.

On December 15, 2015, a process of activity began on this fault, which was reduced in March 2017. Even, the tremor recorded on May 11, 2016, of 4.8 degrees of intensity, was part of this cycle known as swarm. Activity resumed briefly between 2020 and 2021.

No plans for a short distance earthquake
Only Zapopan has developed a real estimation of the real impact in case of an earthquake generated in the Santiago River fault. The study was conducted by the Japanese specialist Kit Miyamoto and it indicates that the zone of greatest impact in the event of an earthquake on the Santiago River fault would be from the area of Puerta de Hierro to the Constitución neighborhood, passing through the center of Zapopan.

Pretty much where there had been a lot of building construction through the years.

In the most catastrophic scenario, with a 7.7 earthquake, it is estimated that 29% of the buildings would be critically damaged and 31% would be severely damaged. The estimated death toll would be 2,100 and 17,000 injured. This does not include damage in other metropolitan municipalities.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 19_2023

Seismic activity was at moderate levels in the past 24 hours. Two strong earthquakes have hit Izu Islands with magnitudes 5.8 and 5.2 These earthquakes are related to the northward movement of energy following the magnitude 6.3 earthquake in the China Sea. On the other hand a preliminary magnitude 6.0 earthquake hit in New Zealand which was adjusted to magnitude 5.6 This is also related to the movement of energy towards Central and South America, so a significant response can still be expected in the next few hours for southern Mexico, Central America, south-central Chile and the Sandwich Islands.

Finally, an atypical M4.6 earthquake occurred in Poland. This is possibly a response to the M5.1 earthquake in Northern Italy on September 18.

As expected, the energy of the M6.1 West Chile Rise earthquake is heading northward and it is possible that this energy will influence the Cocos Plate and the South American Plate seismic activity. According to Ka-Tet there are three possible points of impact in the next hours
