#EarthquakeReport #EarthquakeToot M6.1 #Deprem #Earthquake in #Turkey

Looks like along North Anatolia fault, close to 12 November 1999 M7.2 event

Reported intensity of 8 so far and lots of people live here

@USGS_Quakes mechanism shows this to be in downgoing slab (probably?), not on meagthrust

#EarthquakeReport #EarthquakeToot for M7.0 #Earthquake offshore of #SolomonIslands

@USGS_Quakes models suggest modest chance for triggered landslides and high likelihood for induced liquefaction

#EarthquakeReport #EarthquakeToot #TsunamiReport for M 7.3 #Earthquake near Tonga Trench

Here are the plots for gages that the PTWC listed as having #Tsunami waves

Pago Pago record is clear, Nukualofa record is more noisy (is it a tsunami?).

Note the difference in scale on tsunami size axis (on the right)

updated these to the report
https://earthjay.com/?p=10493

#EarthquakeReport #TsunamiReport for M 7.3 #Earthquake Tonga trench

I missed this since the gage is on the nodal plane for the earthquake. BUT there was a #Tsunami recorded on the Pago Pago #AmericanSamoa tide gage.

Here is a screenshot

report here: https://earthjay.com/?p=10493

#EarthquakeReport #EarthquakeToot for M 7.3 #Earthquake near the Tonga trench #toottoot

thrust (compressional) earthquake along the outer rise

no #Tsunami observed on tide gages

report here includes my interpretation and a regional tectonic summary:
