Afghan earthquakes kill 2,445, Taliban say, as deaths mount
More than 2,400 people were killed in earthquakes in Afghanistan, the Taliban administration said on Sunday, in the deadliest tremors to rock the quake-prone mountainous country in years.
Afghan earthquakes kill 2,445, Taliban say, as deaths mount
The earthquakes hit 20 miles northwest of the city of Herat, with one of 6.3 magnitude. They were among the world's deadliest quakes in a year when tremors in Turkey and Syria killed an estimated 50,000 in February.
Last week saw 6 M6, with the highest being a M6.9 in Papua New Guinea.
In the usual area, there was 1 out of 171 earthquakes worldwide equal to or greater than 4.5 and 1425 out of 1979 quakes of all sizes.

Volcanodiscovery earthquake report 24h
Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the last 24 hours. A new sequence of earthquakes is happening in the Izu Islands. An isolated earthquake occurred at 05:36 UTC with a magnitude 5.2, however, starting at 20:14 UTC a sequence of six M5+ earthquakes shook the Izu Islands, the largest event had a magnitude 5.4 Three M4.9 earthquakes occurred within the sequence, which lasted approximately one hour. We may not have seen the final event in the Izu Islands.
An M5.9 event occurred in Papua New Guinea and adds to the seismic cluster that has shaken the region in recent days. As with Izu, it is possible that these are precursors to a larger event.
We can see that the energy of the seismic activity in the western Pacific is moving across the fault system to central and South America. An M5.0 earthquake struck northern Chile while lighter earthquakes were recorded in central Chile (Santa Cruz, M4.9), north of Argentina (El Aguilar M4.6) off the coast of Guatemala and the border of Panama and Colombia (M4.6).
Finally, the SSGEOS seismic forecast indicates a possible strong seismic event between October 12 and 16 due to tight convergence. Let's wait and see

Light earthquake in Washington. This is possibly due to seismic activity in the Izu Islands. As the energy is expected to move across the Kamchatka and Alaskan Peninsulas, hopefully no significant seismic activity will occur on the west coast of North America.

Izu Islands situation
Japan's meteorological agency (JMA) issued a Tsunami warning. But there was no earthquake. At the moment, it is believed that there was an underwater landslide.
(Update) Tsunami Advisories Issued to Izu, Ogasawara Islands, Other Areas
Tokyo, Oct. 9 (Jiji Press)--The Japan Meteorological Agency issued tsunami advisories to the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands, both in the Pacific, at 6:40 a.m. Monday.
Later in the morning, tsunami advisories were issued also to Chiba Prefecture, east of Tokyo, the western Japan prefecture of Kochi and the southwestern prefectures of Miyazaki and Kagoshima.
A 60-centimeter tsunami was observed in Hachijojima, an island in the Izu chain, at 7:17 a.m., the agency said.
The agency has been unable to identify the cause of the tsunami while it is believed that an earthquake, volcanic activity or submarine landslide occurred in waters off Torishima, an island in the Izu chain, around 5:25 a.m
There have been no reports of casualties, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.

ITALIAN GOVERNMENT PLANS MASSIVE EVACUATIONS IN CAMPI FlEGREI- NAPOLI.
More than half a million residents in towns and villages surrounding the Campi Flegrei supervolcano are at direct risk.
Campi Flegrei is a 13 km (8 miles) wide caldera that encompasses part of Naples and extends south beneath the Gulf of Pozzuoli.
The area has a history of intense volcanic and seismic activity.
Following 1,100+ earthquakes within a month, the Italian government is drawing up plans to evacuate tens of thousands of residents in the event of a further ramp-up, with additional measures set to be discussed in an upcoming cabinet meeting.
A natural phenomenon called ‘bradyseism’ —slow ground movement- is thought to be the cause of the increasing seismic activity. This is a cyclical rise or fall in the Earth’s surface due to the filling or emptying of underground magma chambers. Currently, the ground around Campi Flegrei is rising by 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) per month; in the Rione Terra area reached ground uplift approximately 113 cm (44 inches) by July 2023. sparking concerns about the structural integrity of local buildings.

Afghanistan has become the fulcrum, and responses are expected both to the Mediterranean region and to mainland China.
According to analyst Jesus Ramos, the energy from the twin earthquakes will continue to migrate from Afghanistan to sensitive areas such as Turkey, Greece and Italy and even parts of Spain and Algeria. A magnitude 4+ or 5+ earthquake could occur in these locations, in the worst case scenario an M6.0.
To the east, China could record an M5+ and in the worst case M6+ earthquake.
As I am writing this an earthquake is being recorded in Slovakia.

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. Finally the earthquake in Slovakia was set at M5.0 Social media users report not only amazement but also that the quake lasted several seconds and was felt in other parts of the country such as Poland and Hungary. According to USGS the earthquake would have been very shallow (0 km depth. We have to remember that the depths calculated by the agencies are not exact and a depth of zero indicates that it is very close to sea level).
Well, this was a very very unusual earthquake. Magnitude 5 earthquakes had happened in neighboring countries like Poland, Austria or Hungary while light M3 earthquakes are common in this region of Slovakia. As mentioned above, this seismic activity could be related to the twin earthquakes in Afghanistan.

High levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A third earthquake of M6.3 shook northeastern Afghanistan. According to Relief web in its October 10 update:
Taliban regime officials put the number of dead and wounded at about 4,500 people, without discriminating among them. The number differs from the UN estimate of 2,500

According to the latest Ka-Tet update, the energy from earthquakes in the Izu Islands in Japan was not distributed to the Kamchatka Peninsulas and Alaska as expected. This creates a new and possibly more dangerous scenario. The energy may burst in the Indonesian region which would comprise the Banda Sea, Java or even Papua New Guinea with a M6+ or M7+ earthquake and in the worst case M8, for the time being Taiwan has recorded a M5.2 earthquake.

● Summary
Seismic activity level has been at moderate levels in the last 24 hours. This is the last chart posted by Volcanodiscovery at 22:41 UTC on October 12 Global seismic activity chart
Volcanodiscovery earthquake report 24h
Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. The seismic activity in the Izu Islands decreased considerably, however, it must be considered that something happened in that region that not only triggered a sequence of earthquakes but also a tsunami. The Japan Meteorological Agency is not clear what happened but suggests a submarine landslide or a volcano. Anyway, the energy today was moving towards the Kuril Islands with an M5.1 earthquake and towards Alaska which recorded an M5.6
On the American Continent side we see that the energy of the seismic activity in the Western Pacific is impacting Central America. Panama recorded a light M4.7 earthquake while Honduras recorded an M4.6 earthquake, both at a shallow depth of 10km. See the atmospheric fluctuation recorded today October 12. There is a possibility of a seismic event in the Caribbean, Central and South America.
Finally, the energy of the M6+ earthquakes in Afghanistan is impacting Turkey which was shaken by an M4.5 earthquake and Tajikistan which recorded an M4.6 earthquake.
