The Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency of Indonesia (BMKG) recorded the earthquake as M6.4 while USGS and other agencies recorded it as M6.0. So far, only one aftershock has been recorded with M2.7. It hit 2 hours and 38 minutes after the mainshock.
Hm, is just me that the circle of fire is becoming hot, metaphorically speaking. Maybe I have it wrong, but something is happening with the tectonic plates in certain areas of the planet. The earth is groaning.
At the moment, no unusual seismic activity has been observed, but in the last few days it has been concentrated to the west of the Ring of Fire, mainly in the region of Indonesia and the Kermadec Islands.
It is also significant that there has been no response in North America (Alaska, US West Coast and Mexico) after the M6.5 earthquake in Canada last September 15. For the moment there is a seismic silence for earthquakes greater than M5+.
In the past 24 hours, there were 921 quakes of magnitudes up to 6.0
●1 quake above magnitude 6
●4 quakes between magnitude 5 and 6
●36 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
●79 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
●243 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
●558 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.
