Earthquakes around the world

[Puma]

We now have an 11-hour seismic silence for M≥5.0. On other occasions, this has been a sign of an imminent major seismic event. Let's wait and see.

Richard Cordaro forecast​

Tomorrow, 2026-03-10, I have four planetary energy impacts on my list. The first three will land just after midnight tonight (UTC time) in the Central/South America Regions. The one-day probability of an M 6+ earthquake will be 75%.​

It took around 16 hours to break the seismic silence, and this occurred in Waingapu Indonesia with a magnitude of 5.0. It is in the Kermadec Islands region where something seems to be brewing. Three strong earthquakes have occurred.

Strong seismic activity has been recorded in the north since the beginning of the month, and another M6+ event in the Kermadec Islands region would not be unusual.

Ten years ago, an M7.3 earthquake occurred in this region.

The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 8.2. It had occurred 109 years ago earlier, on Tuesday, May 1, 1917 Volcanodiscovery ​

In this region, most events are subduction earthquakes, where the Pacific Plate subducts westward beneath the Australian Plate along the Kermadec Trench.

This event occurred in the region of interaction between the Arabian plate and the Eurasian plate. The Arabian plate collides and pushes northward against the Eurasian plate. This region is not as intense as the Himalayas, but it does pose significant risks in populated areas, with notable historical events like the M7.0​
