Isn't that odd? I mean seriously, that seems very strange to me.

The weird thing is that they aren't even near each other.

Exactly! All differing depths too, but all three the same magnitude...now that is curious!

I don't think you should be to worried about that yet. I think we are in for another mayor one further north on the Nazca/South American Plate. Most likely along the coastline of Peru.

One of the things that should be noticed is that the area where the Chile quakes are located are very close to a so called triple junction between the South American Plate, Nazca plate and Antarctic plate.

When it comes to North America, then sure, quakes in Japan, Taiwan and elsewhere on the rim of the Pacific plate can affect what's going to happen in US, because the Pacific Plate is moving north west relative to the plate that holds North America. But I do believe that any effect would most likely be north of the Juan de Fuca Plate, unless we see activity closer to that plate and the area around the Cocos Plate.

If we see activity of any magnitude around the outer rim of the the Juan de Fuca Plate, and then I'm afraid we might be in for a BIG one in California.

umm -Roald- we discussed that yesterday on the Juan de Fuca Plate earthquake.usgs.gov...

we posted on it as well - take a look back over the last few pages -

oh and if you didn't have a listen the second sound - please do so - it is awesome

Now, this is odd and out of place
earthquake.usgs.gov...

is this what you are talking about?

And, its another 4.7.

Now, this is odd and out of place earthquake.usgs.gov... is this what you are talking about?

No, The M4.7 @ The Central East Pacific Rise is in the boundary between the Pacific plate and the Nazca plate. But it is significant for me because it is a divergent plate boundary and would just make more pressure on the plates. Specially on the Nazca plate since that one are smaller than the Pacific plate.

umm -Roald- we discussed that yesterday on the Juan de Fuca Plate earthquake.usgs.gov...

Well, we are here again talking about a triple junction. This time between the Juan de Fuca plate, Pacific plate and the North American plate.
Any activity between "here" and the Cocos plate is of importance.

Yes, exactly, thank you for that - another one significant for me as well!!

I mention it because it looks like it is located along the Denali fault-line or in best case in the Totcshunda fault.

But still only a question mark as to magnitude.


Double-checked..it was 4.6.

Getting nervous here....

Calm, peace. All is well. The End Of Days is not upon us. Don't forget that little 4.5 was 3891 time SMALLER than the 6.9 on the 10th Jan. No worries

It is interesting to follow the activity of eath but it is continuous....

Check over at Yellowstone. Something is happening now, very
near upper falls. YUF and B206

Now this is an odd one. I can't recall seeing one here any time recently.

Listening to the first green one at 15:35:30 UTC approx I am wondering if it is a mine blast. I can't see anything that would produce it quakewise in the lists, and it has a sort of double thump. I can't see anything for the second one either, but this could be because I only get 1.0+ and these could be less.

Have a listen

This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.

Again on the troubled Pacific plate. This time in a subduction zone between the Pacific Plate and the Philippine Plate, close to a hydro-thermally active submarine volcano called NW Rota-1. If that continue, then I might get some shaking where I am.
This is an area where we can have a BIG one lurking.

Edited since I saw PuterMan mention the second one in almost the same spot. 7.6 kilometers apart more or less.
Since the Philippine plate is a relative small plate, then we might get some movements towards Philippines. I guess we then would see quakes all along the islands, starting maybe in the area of Mindanao and Samar?

Maybe even increasing quakes in Taiwan.
Just guessing.

They've actually had a few in that part of Canada in the past month. They're not by any means unusual in that region. Unfortunately USGS has not been so forthcoming in letting us know about what really goes on in Canada, but if you check out the Earthquakes of the Last 30 Days map on the earthquakes Canada website then you get a better picture.

Best regards,

Mike
