Really? That is interesting. I think USGS is using a default @1Km and EMSC is using a default @10Km.

USGS actually says

Depth 1 km (~0.6 mile) (poorly constrained)


and

dep = 1.0 +/- 4.2


earthquake.usgs.gov...

Basically it means that the depth cannot accurately be determined.

There was also a 5.3 in New Caledonia, and a 5.1 in Fiji. This means nothing. Happens every day.


In Fiji and in New Caledonia yes, and in various other places in the world, but in Spain this is out of the norm.

In the last 2 years earthquakes of 4.5+ amount to just these:

Date/Time UTC,Latitude,Longitude,Magnitude,Depth(Km),Location
2011-05-11 16:47:26, 37.697, -1.555, 5.3, 1.0, Spain
2011-05-11 15:05:12, 37.700, -1.630, 4.5, 10.0, Spain
2010-04-11 22:08:11, 37.048, -3.512, 6.3, 619.7, Spain




Some facts at your fingertips would make your comments more meaningful. It does not mean 'nothing at all'.

But to say that EQ's of this magnitude are unheard of in the area is wrong. EQ's do happen in this area, just not as much as others. As I said before, Spain and Italy are just north of the oceanic convergent boundary which is prone to EQ's.

don't be too surprised to see this upgraded to a 5.7


I agree. The phase data does indicate it could be higher. It is a 5.5 Ml anyway according to USGS

mb = 5.3 ( 90) ML = 5.5


neic.usgs.gov...

There is even a 6.4 in amongst that lot.

Since the other thread I posted this on is now closed, I'll repost this here to show just how insignificant these two quakes were on the global scale. They are only even mentioned in the media because poor construction practices and old decaying building can't stand up to even moderate shakes and unfortunetly, due to that, people lost their lives. My thoughts are with their families.

Okay, look at the amount of earthquakes that have happend just within the last 10 hours. THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL!!!!! This is NOT some sort of mystic prediction coming true. It just so happens these two quakes were close to a city.

And honestly, by these numbers, you should be worried about a "big one" soon if you're on the east coast of Australia or New Zealand
