Quake Watch 2016

Yeah I see that.
The US Naval Research Laboratory are calling it 23W.SONGDA a Tropical Depression, not a typhoon yet.
Will brush the Bonin Islands too (the little white dot at 11 o'clock from the green circle)

animation from earthwindnullschool maps
the green circle is the location of that 5.6 quake

I posted on Southern Cyclone/Typhoon Watch 2012- as well
been a bit lapse on this Topic, the Western Pacific probably gets more Typhoons (Hurricanes) than anywhere else on the Planet, yet no one is talking about it?

I went an put the commentators curse on it yesterday

Seems to have eased off at East Cape muzzy

Another 5.8 East Cape Ridge, NI, NZ

a 4.2 and 2 x 4.1 aftershocks, and a few 3's

A new underwater fault line in southern California that runs along the Salton Sea and parallel to the San Andreas Fault.

I have updated the East Cape Ridge, NI, NZ page to reflect todays M5.8 and further M4 aftershocks.
This 5.8 is the most western and the shallowest of all the 14 x mag 5s in this series.
I did an update of the cross-sectional view of Earthquake depths as two graphs, which should be viewed in conjunction with the large map at the top of the page.
These 2 graphs were made when the series had reached 1799 events.
Todays M5.8 is shown as a diamond icon (orange for 5) on both graphs and on the interactive map as a new point of reference.
East Cape Ridge

This one is looking a bit like the last 2 big series I covered, I'm thinking of SW off Kyushu and Kumamoto in Japan.
A gradual downwards trend in the magnitudes over time, then BANG another mid-strong one to kick things off again, before it gradually tails off again.
The time between the resurge varies between the 3 series (East Cape Ridge has been the shortest period)
Could this be the "new normal?"
maybe its just New Zealand and Japan?
maybe it just happens in subduction zones?
it didn't happen on the series I have covered on EQ Archives in other parts of the World

Been working so much, I keep so behind in my study.

Just saw this a couple of days ago,but haven't had time to post.

Very interesting.

That's just another reason they should shut that thermo plant down.

There are so many people in that area, that are so complacent.

When that area does decide to go off, who know what could really happen. It's very Volcanic in that area.

Three quakes off the Coast of Oregon today,
in less than 5 hours.

4.1, 4.1 & 4.8.

Oops! Too slow!

Stands out, don't it. Hope that's the end of that.

a reply to: SeaWorthy

Something is going on.
3.2 in Washington state too.

When I looked at all magnitudes in the last day, there have been 10 there.

double post, stupid reply button wouldn't post it

triple post, stupid reply button wouldn't post it
sorry about that, proably a W10 fault

a reply to: muzzy

I you double or triple post, you need to add a picture or a funny video. Don't you recycle?

Maybe, I wouldn't be so critical of fracking if they reused the wastewater. effers.



Now there is direct evidence of induced earthquakes. They caught the ground moving directly under the pressure pump.

I mean it's obvious to us, but, when you show something but recording specific data points, it proves the case beyond any shadow of doubt.

OK I'll remember that next time.

same area, and different name, but way deeper than those other "Tonga Region" ones, which GFZ showed as 10km (LDEO always say 33km) both default depths because they don't know for sure. 10-33km is "shallow"

speaking about depth.
I usually don't bother much with depth, except when something extreme jumps out at me.
Sure I look at local ones around where I live, usually to see why I didn't feel them, often they are at 60km or so around here, which is fairly deep and we hardly feel those below M4.5
But I'm going to run some NZ depth graphs for a while, I started with East Cape Ridge last week and found it quite informative when the figures turned into a S-N Lat/Long/Depth graph.
here is one I did for NZ 09/10/2016
rightclickviewimageforfullsize

I'm going to 200km as the max at the moment, but I know we do get some under Taranaki at 600km sometimes.
I think you all know the layout of NZ, its pretty much N to S and W to E
As far as a Longitude based graph I can't figure out how to run the Y axis in both +/- Longitudes, ie past East Cape Ridge we are into the - Longitudes, due to the Antimeridian Line,
So all I could do is maybe 2 seperate W-E graphs, one across the North Island (always busy) and another one across Fiordland (when there are enough events to plot).
Christchurch isn't worth graphing as they are all 5-11km.

Having a few problems with the NZ Topo maps on nzeq2016, eqarchives and japanquakes not showing all the icons the last 2 days
I hope they are not going to crash like Google and Bing did and that it is just something temporary.
I'll have to think up some other way to present the maps, just in case this is the end.
And it may not be interactive
