#EarthquakeReport for the 11 July '23 M 7.1 and 2 August '24 M 6.8 #Lindol and #Earthquake
M 7.1: extensional (normal) mechanism, deep, intraplate (slab)
M 6.8: compressional (reverse) mechanism, not deep, interface or intraplate (crustal)
report here:https://earthjay.com/?p=11987
#EarthquakeReport for M 6.8 #Gempa #Earthquake offshore of #Mindanao #Philippines
reverse mechanism (compressional) related to the subduction zone (convergent plate boundary)

Earlier today, a M6.8 earthquake struck the Philippines, just offshore Mindanao. This represents the 2nd largest aftershock of a M7.6 last December.
Delayed large aftershocks like this are not common, but they are always possible.

#EarthquakeReport for M 4.9 #Earthquake near #Barstow southern #California
Upon further reflection, appears to be left-lateral earthquake sequence
possibly related to the Manix fault (?)
report here: https://earthjay.com/?p=11968
#EarthquakeReport for the M 4.9 #Earthquake east of #Barstow southern #California
looks like a right-lateral strike-slip earthquake mechanism (near the Calico fault)

Very pleased to have been involved in this study, published today in a First Release version, which shows that the earliest large Antarctic Ice Sheet that developed about 33.7 million years ago did not extend to West Antarctica.
