WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JULY 13_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours

● M 5.6 - Kermadec Islands region/ 17:51:03 (UTC)/10.0 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.4 - 18 km ESE of Puerto Armuelles, Panama/ 21:34:00 (UTC)/10.0 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.0 - 23 km ESE of Pangoa, Peru/ 21:48:44 (UTC)/10.0 km depth/ USGS

The energy from the M7.1 earthquake in the Philippines continues to distribute as expected. The turn was for the Kermadec Islands northeast of New Zealand, Panama in Central America and Peru in South America.

A strong magnitude 5.6 earthquake occurred in the South Pacific Ocean 226 km from New Zealand. No special alert was issued for this event. No aftershocks have been recorded.

A second strong earthquake occurred in the North Pacific Ocean near the coast of Panama with a magnitude of 5.4. No special alert was issued and no aftershocks have been recorded.

The Central and South American region has recorded M5+ earthquakes since the M7.1 earthquake.
​

In the past 24 hours, there were 772 quakes of magnitudes up to 5.6:

• 3 quakes above magnitude 5
• 28 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
• 95 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
• 204 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
• 442 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

The number of earthquakes dropped to 772 after the planetary and lunar geometries of the last few days. It will be until July 15 that the planetary geometry Earth, Mars, Uranus will happen.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JULY 15_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. On July 14, levels remained low and 730 earthquakes were recorded. On July 15, seismic activity increased and M5+ earthquakes were recorded in the region of Papua New Guinea and Tonga.​

● M 5.0 - 137 km NNE of Hihifo, Tonga/ 04:59:32 (UTC) 10.0 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.2 - 27 km NE of Ambunti, Papua New Guinea/ 08:15:49 (UTC) 43.4 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.8 - 143 km ESE of Hihifo, Tonga/ 17:40:18 (UTC) 10.0 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.3 - 159 km ESE of Hihifo, Tonga/ 18:21:59 (UTC) 10.0 km depth/ USGS

A strong magnitude 5.8 earthquake occurred in the South Pacific Ocean 259 km from Samoa. This event was recorded by the agency INVG (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia) as magnitude 6.2

No special warning was issued for this event and no aftershocks have been recorded so far.​

In the past 24 hours, there were 880 quakes of magnitudes up to 5.8:

• 4 quakes above magnitude 5
• 29 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
• 109 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
• 211 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
• 527 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

Earth, Mars Uranus planetary geometry occurred at 13:58:42 UTC M5.8 earthquake in Tonga occurred at 17:40:18 UTC, Moon, Earth, Uranus and Moon, Earth, Mars will occur on July 16​

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JULY 17_2024

Low levels of seismic activity have occurred in the last 48 hours. The following are the highest magnitude earthquakes all of them occurred on July 16​

● M 5.2 - Izu Islands, Japan region/ 06:36:43 (UTC)/ 10.0 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.0 - 55 km NNE of Isangel, Vanuatu/ 12:29:44 (UTC)/ 273.8 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.0 - 10 km NNE of Tataltepec de Valdés, Mexico/14:29:15 (UTC)/12.6 km depth/SSN
● M 5.4 - 109 km ESE of Bitung, Indonesia/ 23:39:28 (UTC)/10.0 km depth/ USGS

So we have 24 hours without a magnitude 5+ earthquake. Seismic silence for M5+ is usually a precursor to a larger event. In addition, on July 16 we had an X2 class solar flare which had an impact in the Mid-Atlantic Ocean and an Interplanetary Magnetic Field of 16nT at 05:26 UTC.


​

In the past 24 hours, there were 923 quakes of magnitudes up to 4.7 (155 km SW of Sarangani, Philippines)

• 4 quakes above magnitude 5
• 32 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
• 90 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
• 234 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
• 549 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

Sun, Venus, Uranus planetary geometry occurred at 10:35 UTC on July 17. So far no significant earthquake has occurred.​

Let's wait and see.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JULY 19_2024

High levels of seismic activity occurred in the past hours:

● M 5.2 - 46 km ESE of Marihatag, Philippines
18 05:39:55 (UTC)/51.6 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.6 - 163 km S of Tateyama, Japan/ 11:07:36 (UTC)/105.6 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.3 - 209 km SW of Bengkulu, Indonesia/ 15:01:22 (UTC)/10.0 km depth/ USGS
● M 7.3 - 41 km SE of San Pedro de Atacama, Chile/ 01:50:46 (UTC)/ 126.3 km depth/USGS

So we have 24 hours without a magnitude 5+ earthquake. Seismic silence for M5+ is usually a precursor to a larger event. In addition, on July 16 we had an X2 class solar flare which had an impact in the Mid-Atlantic Ocean and an Interplanetary Magnetic Field of 16nT at 05:26 UTC.

As expected a significant event occurred after seismic silence. A powerful magnitude 7.3 earthquake hit 107 km away from Calama, Antofagasta, Chile. The quake was felt by over 4.2 million people across 3 countries: Argentina (2 million), Bolivia (1.1 million), and Chile (1 million) according to USGS data, which also issued a Yellow (moderate) alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. For this strong earthquake, 5 aftershocks have been detected so far. The strongest was a magnitude 5.0 quake that hit 25 minutes after the mainshock. The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 8.2. It occurred 74 years ago.

In the past 24 hours, there were 895 quakes of magnitudes up to 7.3:​

• 1 quake above magnitude 7
• 5 quakes between magnitude 5 and 6
• 30 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
• 93 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
• 213 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
• 553 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

The energy of the M7.3 earthquake will move into northern South America, Central America and the west coast of Mexico and the United States with a worst-case M6+ earthquake. Significant seismic activity is also expected in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Philippines, PNG Tonga, Fiji, Kermadec Islands). Let's wait for the SSGEOS report next week to know the planetary and lunar alignments that may influence seismic activity.​

An interesting report related to the M7.4 earthquake in San Pedro Atacama Chile reports that an M8.8 event could occur in the region, due to a seismic swarm that has occurred since Monday. This is the area of Mina Collahuasi, located in the Tarapacá Region, which has registered more than seven earthquakes, all between 2.7 and 3.8. All the earthquakes have been intra-plate.​

The last great earthquake was a century ago: scientists warn of "seismic swarm" in northern Chile​

The zone has not released the corresponding seismic energy since the Vallenar earthquake in 1922. According to the National Seismological Center, the Collahuasi Mine, Pica, Antofagasta, Ollagüe and Sierra Gorda, all within the zone in question, have shown telluric activity in recent days.

Pablo Salucci, geographer of the Catholic University and academic and researcher at Duoc UC, points out that a good part of the observed earthquakes are of the intraplate type, that is, "they occur inside the South American plate as a consequence of the thrust of the Nazca plate at great depth".

"It is always important to observe these earthquakes, since we are in an area that has not 'broken' for more than a century, and a large earthquake of the interplate type is expected, which would also generate an important tsunami", adds Salucci.

Salucci states that this type of seismological situation is known as "seismic GAP". "It is a zone that has not been 'broken' for quite some time, precisely since the Atacama earthquake in 1922″.

"Particularly the danger is associated with the fact that the use of the coast in the area has increased significantly. While there is a condition of vulnerability, given that much time has passed since the last earthquake, today we have a lot of occupation, so there is a greater number of people exposed to an earthquake and/or tsunami, increasing the risk, adds the academic.

Although this seismic swarm does not necessarily imply that a large earthquake will occur, they are signs that seismologists, geologists and geographers take into account as a possible harbinger of the arrival of an eventual telluric event in a country like Chile.

Salucci points out that essentially due to the time that has passed, "a large magnitude event is projected, which has been evaluated to exceed a magnitude of 8.8".

The characteristics of this possible great earthquake generate concern, since it could be very close to the great Valdivia earthquake of 1960, which reached M9.5 considered the most powerful earthquake in history since records have been kept.

El último gran terremoto fue hace un siglo: científicos alertas por “enjambre sísmico” en el norte del país - La Tercera

La zona no libera la energía sísmica correspondiente desde el terremoto de Vallenar en 1922. Según el Centro Sismológico Nacional, la Mina Collahuasi, Pica, Antofagasta, Ollagüe y Sierra Gorda, todos dentro de la zona en cuestión, han mostrada actividad telúrica en los últimos días.
