WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 28_2023

Light to strong seismic activity in Southeast Asia coinciding with the Earth, Moon, Saturn lunar geometry. A magnitude 6.1 earthquake shook the island of Vanuatu, it is possible that the energy from the deep earthquake in Fiji triggered this shallower earthquake as previously announced:​

M5.2 earthquake south of the Fiji region occurred at a great depth of 534 km. Thus, following the Dutchsinse depth-to-magnitude conversion, a shallower depth earthquake of about M6.2 would be expected in the region

As can be seen in the image below, energy moved across the fault system from the region south of the Fiji Islands to Vanuatu to reach two M5+ earthquakes in Papua New Guinea and Tonga, and one further north in the Kuril Islands.​

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT SEPTEMBER 29_2023

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A seismic cluster occurred in the Solomon Sea in the region of Papua New Guinea. According to Ka-Tet's analysis it is possible that the energy movement will be released in a M6.2 or worst case scenario M7+ earthquake in the Taiwan region or in the Sumatra region. (Including Japan and the Philippines)



On the other hand in southeastern Mexico the cluster of light earthquakes continues. This should be a point of attention in the next few days for a possible M5+ event or in the worst case M 6+ for Oaxaca or Guerrero.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 02_2023

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the last 24 hours. The strongest event occurred in India with a Magnitude 5.4. In fact, this earthquake is part of an M5+ seismic cluster that occurred in Tajikistan, Sandwich Islands, Japan, Indonesia and the South Pacific.

Light earthquakes shake Italy and Bosnia The M4.0 earthquake in Naples, Italy caused some damage, but fortunately no casualties were reported. These earthquakes add to those that have occurred in other parts of Europe recently such as Spain and Poland.

Finally, an M4.7 earthquake struck off the coast of Oregon and in the Cascadia subduction zone.​

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 03_2023

A seismic cluster occurred in the Solomon Sea in the region of Papua New Guinea. According to Ka-Tet's analysis it is possible that the energy movement will be released in a M6.2 or worst case scenario M7+ earthquake in the Taiwan region or in the Sumatra region. (Including Japan and the Philippines)​

Ka-Tet's forecast was accurate. The energy from the M6.1 earthquake in Vanuatu on September 28 moved toward Japan and burst with an M6.0 earthquake (preliminary M6.1) and westward toward the Hindu Kush region with three strong M5+ earthquakes Damage was reported in Nepal as a consequence of the M5.7 earthquake.​

After several lunar and planetary geometries, as well as seismic clusters, an M6 event is finally recorded.

The Izu Islands earthquake recorded a precursor of M5.0 at 08:29 UTC, three hours before the main event of M6.0. Several aftershocks have been recorded with the highest magnitude being a 5.8 aftershock.

Later at 19:16 UTC a M5.3 earthquake was recorded in the Bonin Islands at a depth of 517 km following the Dutchsinse depth to magnitude conversion rule a shallower earthquake around magnitude 6.3 could be expected, let's wait and see.​

A new deep earthquake was recorded this time in the locality of Levuka, Fiji with a depth of 534.6 km and a magnitude of 5.3 This is a new opportunity to check the Dutchsinse depth to magnitude rule: For every 100km depth, you are to add on 0.2 magnitude to the original deep earthquakes magnitude.

So, the deep M5.3 earthquake can cause a shallower earthquake around M6.3 in a few days.​
