WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JANUARY 28_2024

High levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A strong and deep (610 km) earthquake M6.5 hit Acre, Brazil. This is the second M6+ earthquake to occur in the region.

The USGS estimated that 343,000 people felt weak shaking and issued a Green alert (low) for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. This earthquake struck within proximity of multiple countries. Brazil and Peru are both within 300km distance of its epicenter. Futher away, this earthquake may also have been felt in Bolivia and Colombia. No aftershocks have been recorded so far.

This earthquake adds risk of more significant events for Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Central America and the Caribbean.

Energy from the M6.1 earthquake in Guatemala is being distributed to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Light earthquakes occurred in Veracruz, Mexico (M4.5) Nicaragua (M4.6) and Anguilla northeast of Puerto Rico.

The total number of earthquakes recorded in the last 24 hours has increased to 897 which is within normal activity. According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Brennisteinsfjöll (15 quakes between mag 0.1-2.9),Clear Lake (41 quakes between mag 0.2-1.8) Fagradalsfjall (9 quakes between mag 0.5-1.4), Hrómundartindur (6 quakes between mag 0.4-1.6), Kilauea (94 quakes between mag 0.2-3.0), Krísuvík (14 quakes between mag 0.6-2.2) Reykjanes (25 quakes between mag 0.1-1.4)

Earthquakes Increase At Kīlauea Volcano Summit

Kīlauea volcano is not erupting. On Saturday, the number of earthquakes increased in the area just south of the summit caldera, ending the January lull in seismic activity. The earthquake swarm continued into Sunday morning.

UPDATE – (10:45 a.m.) – On Sunday, the USGS maintained the Kīlauea Alert Level at ADVISORY, after seismicity picked up in the south caldera region, but remained steady.

From the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory update posted on Sunday morning:

Rates of seismicity in the south caldera area increased yesterday morning, but remained stable through the day. This morning, seismicity is somewhat lower, but a tiltmeter near Sand Hill indicates ongoing inflationary deformation. Periods of increased seismicity can be expected to continue during repressurization of the summit magma reservoir, which has been ongoing since the end of the September 2023 eruption.

Kīlauea’s summit region remains at a high level of inflation. Together with the increase in seismicity yesterday morning, a tiltmeter near Sand Hill indicated an increase in inflationary tilt. The tilt rate has remained steady over the past 24 hours (neither increasing nor decreasing). A tiltmeter near Uēkahuna bluff also responded to yesterday’s events, but to a lesser degree, as this instrument is not as sensitive to south caldera changes.

Earthquakes Increase At Kīlauea Volcano Summit

HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - After a few weeks of relative quiet, seismicity shot up in the area just south of the summit caldera on Saturday.

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Apaneca Range Volcano with a magnitude of 3.9 located 19 km north of Sonsonate, El Salvador, on Sunday, Jan 28, 2024, at 12:42 pm local time.

Recent quakes worldwide map shows the distribution of the last 20 large earthquakes. We can see the concentration of the seismic energy in Central and South America as a result of the M6.6 and M6.5 earthquakes in the Brazilian Amazon. Both earthquakes occurred at a great depth of more than 600km so that a subsequent impact can be expected in the worst case M7.5.​

With continued unrest across the planet (as the Sun's energy radiates cosmic rays), what impact is this activity having on the global population?

GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY AND VIOLENT BEHAVIOR
ABSTRACT

This paper reports on a statistical study of hypothesized relationships between three indices of
geomagnetic field activity and the incidence of violent crime on a nationwide basis. focusing on
monthly variation over the entirety of an II-year solar cycle, and yearly variation over a 30 year
period encompassing the past three solar cycles (cycles 19. 20 and 21). Contrary to expectations.
sunspot numbers - which have only a tenuous relationship with geomagnetic al."tiviry - were found
to be significant at the yearly level. while none of the more direct indices of geomagnetic al.1:ivity
exhibited any correlation. The possibility of a non-magnetic solar effect on human behavior is
therefore raised

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JANUARY 30_2024

Low levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A seismic swarm is occurring in the Virgin Islands north of Charlotte Amalie. So far 21 earthquakes ranging from M3+ to M4+ have occurred with an M4.6 earthquake being the strongest.

On December 09, 2023 the strongest earthquake in 10 years occurred with a magnitude 5.7 very close to the epicenter of this earthquake. An M7.7 earthquake occurred 81 years ago, but closer to the island of Puerto Rico, which indicates that M7+ earthquakes can occur in the region.


The total number of earthquakes recorded in the last 24 hours has increased to 893 which is within normal activity. According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Clear Lake (33 quakes between mag 0.3-1.4), Fagradalsfjall (11 quakes between mag 0.4-1.0), Kilauea (63 quakes between mag 0.7-3.4), Krísuvík (13 quakes between mag 0.2-1.6),

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Kilauea Volcano with a magnitude of 3.4 located 30 mi southwest of Hilo, Hawaii County, USA, on Tuesday, Jan 30, 2024, at 04:02 am local time.

According to USGS: "Kīlauea volcano is not erupting. An increase in seismicity in the south caldera region that started on Saturday is continuing, but has remained steady. Kīlauea summit remains pressurized; in recent months unrest has escalated quickly, and an eruption could occur in the future with little warning".

Kilauea Volcano Update for Tuesday, January 30

HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - The recent increase in seismicity continued Tuesday, with earthquakes becoming somewhat more widespread around the Kīlauea summit region.
(BIVN) – Kīlauea volcano is not erupting, and the alert level remains at ADVISORY, as the recent increase in seismicity in the south caldera region continued on Tuesday.

Scientists say the earthquakes are “becoming somewhat more widespread”, but have not increased in frequency.

“Kīlauea summit remains pressurized,” wrote the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. “In recent months unrest has escalated quickly, and an eruption could occur in the future with little warning.”


(From the USGS HVO) Above Top: Number of earthquakes per day during the past week (blue bars). The red line is the cumulative moment (energy) release. Bottom: Depth of earthquakes during the past week in the area shown on the map above. Depth is reported relative to sea level, which is equal to a depth of zero on the above plot. On both figures, circle-size represents magnitude, and color indicates depth.
As of Tuesday, there were no new closures reported within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park due to the uptick in seismicity.

From the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory on Tuesday:

South caldera seismicity continued through yesterday, becoming somewhat more widespread, but not increasing in event frequency. In general, rates have been fairly steady since Saturday morning. Periods of increased seismicity can be expected to continue during repressurization of the summit magma reservoir, which has been ongoing since the end of the September 2023 eruption.
Kīlauea’s summit region remains at a high level of inflation. Tiltmeters near Sand Hill and Uēkahuna bluff indicate ongoing inflationary tilt localized to the south caldera area, with a steady rate. Step-wise changes in the tilt signal over the past day were due to the instrument being shaken by nearby earthquakes.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas emission rates remain low. Field measurements indicated an SO2 emission rate of approximately 70 tonnes per day on January 17, which was similar to measurements in October, November, and early December.

Scientists also noted that seismicity in Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone and Southwest Rift Zone remained low in the past 24 hours.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JANUARY 31_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A seismic swarm is occurring in Hawaii, and so far more than 260 earthquakes ranging from magnitude 0.6 to M3+ have been recorded, with an M3.4 earthquake being the strongest. At the time of this report, earthquake activity remains elevated.


Accordin to USGS:

●An increase in seismicity in the south caldera region started this morning and has remained at high levels since 3 a.m. HST.

● 25-30 locatable earthquakes have occurred per hour at depths of 1.5–3 km (1–2 mi) below the surface.

● The most intense activity occurred between 6 and 8 a.m., when earthquakes were clustering just south of Halemaʻumaʻu. There have been over 180 locatable earthquakes in this region in the past 6 hours, with magnitudes ranging from a maximum of 3.4 to less than 1.

● Levels of volcanic gases (sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide) can remain locally hazardous even when Kīlauea is not erupting. Local concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and/or hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may persist in downwind areas, and residents may notice odors of these gases occasionally.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has increased to 1103 which is above normal activity. This was mainly due to the seismic swarm that is happening in Hawaii, especially in the Kilauea volcano.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Clear Lake (21 quakes between mag 0.3-1.7)
Fagradalsfjall (13 quakes between mag 0.1-1.3), Kilauea (260 quakes between mag 0.6-3.4) Reykjanes (14 quakes between mag 0.1-1.0

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Barva Volcano with a magnitude of 3.5 located 10.6 km north of San Jose, San José, Costa Rica, on Wednesday, Jan 31, 2024, at 12:46 pm local time.

Recent quakes worldwide map shows the distribution of the last 20 large earthquakes. There was a significant increase in the range of M2 to M3 earthquakes. Earthquakes of Magnitude 4+ shook Central and South America. An M4.9 quake at northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge indicates that energy concentrated in the Caribbean Plate (Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands area) is making its way into the Atlantic. Activity in Charlotte Amalie continues with M2 and M3 earthquakes.​

Recent Systemic Activity in Austria

https://twitter.com/x/status/1752908006595993898

The earthquake-filled weeks in Austria continue. After several earthquakes in Tyrol, a powerful earthquake shook the east of the country last night. It reached a magnitude of 4.4 and was felt as far away as the Czech Republic and Slovenia. https://erdbebennews.de/2024/02/erdbeben-m4-4-nahe-gloggnitz-oesterreich/
Snip:

People affected​

The 4.4 earthquake occurred on 1 January February, 2:59 Clock Central European Time near the village of Gloggnitz, Austria. Earthquake news calculates a maximum intensity of 5.6 for this earthquake. Up to 7.5 million people (in the map section) have felt this earthquake. Of this, 7.5 million people live in regions with light or moderate shocks, where no significant damage is to be expected. 0 people live where damage to buildings may occur, 0 of them in areas with possible severe damage and destruction.

What happened?​

The epicenter was located near the town of Gloggnitz in Lower Austria on the border with Styria.

After initial evaluations by Geosphere Austria, the earth magnitude 4.4 reached the earth. Shocks were felt throughout the eastern half of the country and included not only the epicentre route, but also the capital of Vienna (intensity III), Graz (intensity III) and Linz (intensity II). In addition, the earth also reached parts of the neighbouring countries Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia. Occasionally it could have been felt in the south of the Czech Republic, possibly also locally in Lower Bavaria. Previous earthquakes in the region showed relatively far-reaching effects towards Lower Bavaria.

In the epicentral region between Semmering and Gloggnitz, the vibrations were quite strong due to the shallow depth and, according to our calculations, lie between intensity V and VI, so that even minor structural damage to individual buildings cannot be ruled out. Smaller stone chips and avalanches are possible in the mountains. In addition, high post-quake activity must be expected in the coming days.

In recent years, Gloggnitz has been one of the most importantly active places in Austria with numerous noticeable quakes, partly around magnitude 4, as well as numerous swarms of smaller earthquakes. The village is located on the Mur-Mürztal disorder, a tectonic fault zone in the northeastern Alps, where earthquake activity is often occurred.

After numerous earthquakes in Tyrol, today's earthquake has been the strongest of a seismicly very active phase in the last three weeks. Previously it came on the 27th place January in Ehrwald in Tirol to a earthquake of magnitude 3.6 and in the days before several noticeable quears up to magnitude 3.9 in St. Johann in Tirol. In both regions, there were smaller, non-structural damage to houses as a result of the vibrations. In addition, adjacent places in Bavaria were also affected by the earthquake.

Between the individual earthquakes in Ehrwald, St. Johann and now in Gloggnitz there is no direct connection. The accumulation of seismic activity since the beginning of the year is a random overlap of several independent events.

Kilauea earthquakes ramp up.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT FEBRUARY 01_2024

Low levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. The increase in seismic activity is mainly due to the seismic swarm that is occurring in Hawaii.

The seismic swarm under the upper southwestern rift zone of Kilauea has been increasing and the volcano observatory raised the alert to "Orange" as chances of a new eruption have increased, Volcanodiscovery reported.

Hawaii Volcano Observatory (HVO) reported: "Earthquake swarms like this can precede eruptions, but there is no lateral or upward migration of earthquakes that would suggest magma is moving toward the surface at this time. There are currently no signs of an imminent eruption at Kīlauea, but the volcano's summit region remains unsettled, with a high level of inflation and continued seismic activity."

EMSC reported a light M4.5 earthquake in Austria which was adjusted to M4.0. The quake had a very shallow depth of 5 km (3.1 mi) and was felt widely in the area. The closest larger town where the quake might have been felt is Wien, the capital of Austria with 1,700,000 inhabitants, in 75 km (46 mi) distance northeast of the epicenter. People likely experienced weak shaking there. No aftershocks have been recorded so far.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has increased to 1283 which is above normal activity. Seismic swarm continues in Hawaii, with the Kilauea volcano.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Brennisteinsfjöll (11 quakes between mag 0.2-1.2), Clear Lake (32 quakes between mag 0.3-1.9) Edgecumbe (8 quakes between mag 0.3-1.0), Fagradalsfjall (10 quakes between mag 0.2-1.2), Hrómundartindur (6 quakes between mag 0.1-1.6), Kilauea (397 quakes between mag 0.8-3.5), Reykjanes (36 quakes between mag 0.1-1.6)

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Talakmau Volcano with a magnitude of 3.0 located 74 km northwest of Bukittinggi, Indonesia, on Thursday, Feb 1, 2024, at 09:41 pm (Jakarta time)

Tectonic Summary

Earthquakes in the Stable Continental Region
Natural Occurring Earthquake Activity

Most of North America east of the Rocky Mountains has infrequent earthquakes. Here and there earthquakes are more numerous, for example in the New Madrid seismic zone centered on southeastern Missouri, in the Charlevoix-Kamouraska seismic zone of eastern Quebec, in New England, in the New York - Philadelphia - Wilmington urban corridor, and elsewhere. However, most of the enormous region from the Rockies to the Atlantic can go years without an earthquake large enough to be felt, and several U.S. states have never reported a damaging earthquake.

Earthquakes east of the Rocky Mountains, although less frequent than in the West, are typically felt over a much broader region than earthquakes of similar magnitude in the west. East of the Rockies, an earthquake can be felt over an area more than ten times larger than a similar magnitude earthquake on the west coast. It would not be unusual for a magnitude 4.0 earthquake in eastern or central North America to be felt by a significant percentage of the population in many communities more than 100 km (60 mi) from its source.

Earthquakes rattled central Oklahoma Friday night. Steps taken to minimize risk of more​

Numerous earthquakes and aftershocks that struck Oklahoma late Friday into Saturday morning near Prague left rattled nerves, scattered dishes and bric-a-brac, cracked drywall, and some tumbled bricks, but no reported injuries.

"Last night was exciting to say the least. Thankfully so far the reports of injuries have been zero," the Lincoln County Office of Emergency Management posted on Facebook Saturday morning, along with a link to the state site for reporting damage.

Nearly 40 quakes had struck by 11 a.m. Saturday starting with the big one − by Oklahoma standards − at 5.1 magnitude, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, using data provided by the Oklahoma Geological Survey.
