Earthquakes around the world

[mabar]

As we can see, there is a seismic cluster that has been developing for some time in the Izu Islands of Japan. So far there has been one M6.0 earthquake and several of magnitude five, only in the past 24 hours there have been 8 of these earthquakes:​

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 05_2023

High levels of seismic activity prevail, mainly due to the sequence in the Izu islands in Japan. After the previously reported seismic sequence in Izu Islands (M5.4, M5.1, M5.2, M6.1, M5.4, M5.4 & M5.7) the frequency has decreased and the highest magnitude earthquake so far has had a magnitude of 5.6.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) was in charge of recording the preliminary seismic event in Izu Islands with a magnitude 6.6 and later this magnitude was updated by other agencies to M6.1.

According to the earthquake analyst Jesus Ramos, an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 or higher would have indicated that this sequence would have ended, however, when finally updated to M6.1 there is a possibility that a severe event is expected. If so, it would reach in the worst case a M7+.

This would not only affect Japan, the energy would move to the Kamchatka Peninsula or the Alaskan Peninsula causing a worst case M6+ earthquake. If this happens, the energy would move to the northwest coast of the United States, Oregon and Eureka with a worst-case M5+ earthquake. It all depends on the seismic activity in the Izu Islands or in the Philippine plate that interacts with the Pacific Plate.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 06_2023

Seismic activity in the Izu Islands region continues. The largest event had a magnitude of 6.1 and the frequency of M5+ earthquakes has decreased, only four earthquakes of this magnitude were recorded, however, seven M4+ earthquakes shook the region, most of them M4.9.

Now we can see that the energy is moving towards the Kamchatka and Alaska Peninsulas. On the one hand and in the Kuril Islands an M5.0 earthquake was recorded and then four M4+ aftershocks, the largest of these with a magnitude of 4.9. While in Anchorage, Alaska, an M4.2 earthquake and several smaller earthquakes of between 2 and 3 magnitude were recorded.

Towards the Pacific plate, Hawaii is also showing seismic activity although for the moment it remains at M2+ levels. Finally, in the central Pacific Ocean, very close to Panama, an M5.4 earthquake was recorded between the boundaries of the Nazca and Cocos plates.

This movement of energy was expected.

The image shows a clear seismic sequence along the Indian and Eurasian plate boundaries. Let's hope that this is over and that a stronger earthquake does not occur towards the eastern region of the Hindu Kush (Afghanistan and Pakistan).

Erratum: west not east of the Hindu Kush.

Yes indeed, lots of earthquakes recently. I get notifications and there have been a slew of them from all over the place. Very thankful to Puma for keeping track of this.

I wonder if there is some kind of shifting and moving that could result in a really big one?

Looks like Japan, there was a seismic sequence or cluster around the Izu islands. According to analysts there is a missing M7+ to finish that sequence or M8+ in the worst case... Which reminds me of something the Cs commented some time ago.

Q: (T) You predicted a quake in Japan, near Osaka, several sessions back, you were off by the magnitude a little bit and by the miles a little bit, but basically you were correct. What between that prediction and the prediction for the Tokyo quake can Japan expect?

A: Not correct interpretation. Osaka quake yet to be.

Q: (T) So this was not the quake that you predicted the 8.9, this was a 7.2, but it was miles distance from Osaka almost right on the money, but this was not the quake that you predicted? (J) There's going to be another one coming?

A: Yes 14 more this sequence. (?? 14 more this sequence ??)

Q: (T) 14 more quakes? (J) I'm sorry, I'm losing it real bad tonight, I don't know why. {She was referring to her inability to keep up with the speed of delivery.} (D) Are you breaking up? (J)
No, it's me. Please repeat the answer. (T) We're having problems down here in 3rd density this evening!

A: SEQUENCE.

Q: (T) This is one in a sequence of earthquakes that are going to culminate in the 8.9?

A: 9 pt 6

Q: (T) In Osaka, near Osaka?

A: Tokyo.

As can be seen, this is occurring off the coast of Osaka.


These are data from the past 8 hours approximately.

The last M4.9 earthquake in the Izu Islands occurred at 04:49 UTC on Saturday 07, but then earthquakes occurred in Nepal.(M5.0) Afghanistan (M6.3, M6.3) and Papua New Guinea (M6.7, M6.7). All of them related by the movement of energy. They are part of the sequence.
​

This sequence may continue on the Kamchatka or Alaskan peninsulas and continue to the west coast of the USA.

We will have to watch what happens next in the Japan region. Let's hope the sequence is over.

 

[Laura]

It just keeps rocking and rolling. And meanwhile, so does Palestine.

 

[Aeneas]

Very thankful to Puma for keeping track of this.

I would like to second that. It was only this morning before going to work that I thought to say what a good job Puma does in keeping up with the quakes all over the world and especially providing interesting context and analysis. So keep up the good work, Puma as it is much appreciated.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 07_2023

Very high levels of seismic activity were recorded in the last 24 hours. Five magnitude 6+ earthquakes shook the western Pacific Ocean, the western Hindu Kush region and one more shook southeastern Mexico. This is quite unusual. On average ONE M6+ earthquake occurs every 3 days


How often do earthquakes happen?

This unusual activity can be seen in the following graph:

From October 3 to 7, eight M6+ earthquakes were recorded as well as clusters of earthquakes in the Izu Islands, Papua New Guinea and Afghanistan regions.

The earthquakes in Afghanistan were upgraded to M6.3. The image shows the seismic clustering that has occurred across the Hindu Kush. There may be some damage in Afghanistan and Nepal, but for the moment the world's attention is elsewhere.​

Afghanistan earthquake: At least 120 killed and 1,000 injured in 6.3 quake​

Hundreds of people are feared dead and at least 1,000 are injured after a powerful earthquake hit western Afghanistan, near the Iranian border.

The 6.3 magnitude quake struck about 40km from the western city of Herat at around 11:00 local time (06:30 GMT).

Many buildings were damaged, trapping people under rubble and there were at least three powerful aftershocks.

Survivors described their terror as office buildings first shook - and then collapsed around them.

We were in our offices and suddenly the building started shaking. Wall plaster started to fall down and the walls got cracks, some walls and parts of the building collapsed." Herat resident Bashir Ahmad told news agency AFP.

"I am not able to contact my family, network connections are disconnected. I am too worried and scared, it was horrifying," he added.

The province's disaster management chief Mosa Ashari told reporters: "So far more than 1,000 injured women, children, and elderly citizens have been included in our records, and about 120 people have lost their lives."

New atmospheric fluctuation

I wish I had better news. There will be very critical planetary geometry 11-12 October, which probably puts 13-16 October in the cross-hairs. This is NOT because of the eclipse, but because of the planetary geometry 2-3 days earlier. I will explain in detail in tomorrow's video.

Do not underestimate the role of #Mercury. The planet is smaller than #Jupiter's largest moon #Ganymede, but 45% more massive. It is highly conductive and allows for very strong electrical currents, which affect the entire Solar System, including #Earth's atmosphere and crust.
