Earthquakes around the world

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT MAY 24_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A strong magnitude 5.4 earthquake hit 86 km (53 mi) away from Contamana, Loreto, Peru. The closest larger town where the quake might have been felt is Contamana, a town with 14,000 inhabitants in Peru, in 86 km distance northeast of the epicenter. USGS issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. No aftershocks have been recorded so far. The earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Peru in over 5 years. The last quake of equal or greater strength near the present epicenter had been a magnitude 8.0 earthquake on Sunday, May 26, 2019.

Nana, Peru seismic station located at 471 km from epicenter recorded the following seismogram.

EARTHQUAKE FORECAST UPDATED MAY 25_2024

Right angle geometry involving Mercury and Venus on 24-25 May converging with a planetary conjunction with Venus can result in a larger earthquake, possibly around 26-27 May. Several planetary conjunctions involving Mercury will likely result in more seismic unrest throughout the week. SSGEOS

● Events from May 15-24
2024-05-15-overview.png
On average 950 earthquakes occurred during the week of May 15 to 24. On the 18th and 19th more than 1000 earthquakes occurred and this coincided with the Earth-Venus-Uranus and Earth-Sun-Jupite planetary geometries as well as a M6.0 earthquake and a cluster of M5+ earthquakes.​

After the following planetary geometries on May 22 and 23 and the full moon there has not been a major earthquake which is interesting because the energy accumulates waiting for the optimal conditions in the earth's crust to burst.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT MAY 29_2024

Volcanodiscovery considers this level as moderate not because of the two M5+ earthquakes that occurred in Japan and Myanmar but because of the seismic swarm in Iceland due to volcanic activity. Only the Reykjanes volcano has registered 186 earthquakes being the largest of magnitude 2.8 and the Fagradalsfjall volcano with 128 earthquakes being the largest of magnitude 4.3.

According to Volcano earthquake report volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​
Askja (5 quakes between mag 0.1-1.1), Brennisteinsfjöll (5 quakes between mag 0.7-1.2), Eldey (5 quakes between mag 0.2-1.7), Fagradalsfjall (128 quakes between mag 0.1-4.3), Hrómundartindur (6 quakes between mag 0.5-1.8), Reykjanes (186 quakes between mag 0.0-2.8)

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Fagradalsfjall volcano with magnitude 4.3 and epicenter in Iceland: 1.1 km NE of Sundhnúkur on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, at 10:57 am (Reykjavik time)

Borgarfjordur, Asbjarnarstadir, Iceland seismic station located 109 km from epicenter recorded the following seismogram:
BORG.II.00.BHZ.2024.150.10.53.00.019-2024.150.11.22.31.994.bp-0.2-10.0.png
For this earthquake, 15 aftershocks have been detected so far. The strongest was a magnitude 2.1 quake that hit 45 minutes after the mainshock.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has decreased to 1199 which is above normal range of activity.
