WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JUNE 28_2024

Very high levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A powerful magnitude 7.2 earthquake occurred in the South Pacific Ocean near the coast of Peru. Minas Marcona, a town with 15,000 inhabitants located 98 km away from the epicenter, may have felt the movement with greater intensity. So far no major damage or casualties have been reported.

Seven aftershocks have been detected so far. The strongest was a magnitude 4.7. An aftershock in the region of Peru with a magnitude of 5.0 to 6.9 in the next hours/days cannot be ruled out.

The earthquake occurred within the South American Plate and it is possible that energy may move northward into the Cocos and Caribbean Plate regions, so a response may occur in the southeastern region of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean (including Colombia y Venezuela) with a M6.5+ in the worst case. While for the Chilean region an impact of M6.5+ could be expected as well.

A minor energy component will move towards Southeast Asia possibly causing magnitude 5+ all depending on the planetary and crustal conditions as well.

● M 5.0 - Kermadec Islands region at 06:36:08 UTC/ 10.0 km depth/ USGS earthquake alert
● M 5.7 - 66 km NW of Houma, Tonga at 13:00:39 UTC/10.0 km depth/ USGS earthquake alert
● M 5.0 - 199 km SSE of Port Blair, India at 17:16:44 UTC/10.0 km depth/ USGS earthquake alert

According to Volcanodiscovery in the past 24 hours, there were 874 quakes of magnitudes up to 7.2:​

• 1 quake above magnitude 7
• 3 quake between magnitude 5 and 6
• 35 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
• 104 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
• 222 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
• 509 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

On June 28 planetary geometry Mercury, Sun, Saturn happened at 23:11 UTC (a few minutes ago) Around 14:00 UTC the interplanetary magnetic field exceeded 20nT. So we have ingredients for a possible significant seismic event in the next few hours/days.​

The Bt component of the interplanetary magnetic field exceeded 20nT around 14:00 UTC and during the severe geomagnetic storm the Bt component registered 18.35nT. Let's see what effects the strength of the solar magnetic field has on the weather and geophysical events in the coming days.

Let's wait and see. Thanks for reading.​

M7 earthquake in Peru leaves several injured and material damage​

The earthquake caused eight injuries, five of them in the city of Ica and in the town of Acari, reported the Peruvian Ministry of Health in its X account.

Five of the injured were treated in hospitals in the first city, and the rest received "ambulatory care" in the health center of Acari, the agency detailed.

The Navy's Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation issued a tsunami warning, which was lifted.

The tremor was felt in Lima and a large part of the southern and central coast of the country.

In the early hours of Friday morning
The Geophysical Institute of Peru reported an earthquake of M7.2

The seismic event had its epicenter in the province of Caravelí in the department of Arequipa and was registered at 00:36 a.m. (local time).

One of the strongest of the last years, the images are impressive.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JUNE 29_2024

As already mentioned a very strong magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in the South Pacific Ocean near the coast of Peru. This quake was likely an aftershock of the 7.2 quake 8 km west of Atiquipa on Jun 28.

According to reports on social networks, the districts of Yauca and Chala are the most affected by the earth movements that have forced residents to sleep outside their homes for fear of new earthquakes. After the M6.1 quake, the number of injured people increased to 14, in addition to causing further damage to homes, schools, churches and health centers. There were also power outages and landslides and rockslides.

Hernando Tavera, executive president of the Geophysical Institute of Peru, said that the M7.2 earthquake released an energy equivalent to 250,000 tons of dynamite, comparable to the explosion of 15.6 atomic bombs, so it is not surprising that more aftershocks will occur.

These were the most significant earthquakes​

● M 5.2 - 43 km SSE of Antofagasta, Chile at 04:21:48 UTC/43.5 km depth/ USGS earthquake alert
● M 6.1 - 42 km SSW of Atiquipa, Peru at 07:05:33 UTC/19.3 km depth/ USGS earthquake alert
● M 5.3 - 41 km S of Atiquipa, Peru at 07:22:53 UTC/52.9 km depth/ USGS earthquake alert
● M 5.0 - 62 km W of Atka, Alaska at 11:10:32 UTC/99.3 km depth/ USGS earthquake alert

A new earthquake occurred in the South Atlantic region, near where the anomaly (outgassing) has been recorded.​

● M 5.6 - Bouvet Island region at 16:38:46 UTC/10.0 km depth/ USGS earthquake alert

Unusual earthquake shakes upstate New York and Canada. This 3.4 magnitude quake occurred in Jefferson County, with its epicenter in Lake Ontario. Shaking was felt in parts of Canada, as well as in central and northern New York, according to a U.S. Geological Survey map.
​

● M 3.4 - 15 km SW of Henderson, New York at 03:45:24 UTC/10.0 km depth/ USGS earthquake alert


In the past 24 hours, there were 842 quakes of magnitudes up to 6.1:

• 1 quake above magnitude 6
• 4 quakes between magnitude 5 and 6
• 40 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
• 98 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
• 240 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
• 459 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

Chile: Magnitude-5.2 earthquake occurs south-southeast of Antofagasta, Antofagasta Region, at around 00:21 June 29

Magnitude-5.2 earthquake occurred in the Antofagasta Region at around 00:21 June 29. The epicenter was about 44 km (27 miles) south-southeast of Antofagasta city. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 44 km (27 miles), and light shaking was probably felt throughout the region. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties; however, significant damage is unlikely. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Light aftershocks are likely over the coming days.

Officials may temporarily shut down transportation infrastructure in the tremor zone to check for damage. Minor disruptions could occur during shutdowns, but service will likely resume quickly if no damage is found. Utility outages are possible, particularly near the earthquake's epicenter.
