#EarthquakeReport for the M7.1 #Earthquake and #Tsunami offshore of #Kyushu #Japan

compressional earthquake mechanism
interface earthquake along the megathrust subduction zone fault
generated local tsunami
Japan issued megaquake advisory

read report here https://earthjay.com/?p=12016

#EarthquakeReport #TsunamiReport for M 7.1 #Earthquake offshore of #Japan

megathrust subduction zone earthquake

generated local #Tsunami up to about 40 cm in amplitude

these are three tide gage plots

#EarthquakeReport for M 5.2 #Earthquake south of #Bakersfield #California

reverse/thrust mechanism (compressional earthquake)
high acceleration (31% g recorded ~8km to the south of the epicenter)

#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)

#EarthquakeReport for M6.8 #Gempa #Earthquake in the #Philippines

mechanism & depth suggest to be on megathrust subduction zone (?)

@USGS_Quakes

model suggests chance for #Liquefaction

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000nhqc/executive

in region of M 7.6 in December '23: https://earthjay.com/?p=11611

#EarthquakeReport for M6.8 #Gempa #Earthquake in the #Philippines

mechanism & depth suggest to be on megathrust subduction zone (?)
possible local #Tsunami (?)

in region of M 7.6 in December '23: https://earthjay.com/?p=11611

#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)
