Earthquakes around the world

No rest for Turkey

Two strong earthquakes have shaken Turkey with reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. The earthquake originally recorded as M5.6 was updated to M5.2.

Most of the earthquakes greater than or equal to magnitude 5.0+ were concentrated in the Ring of Fire. It is worth mentioning two earthquakes that were very deep

• Italy at a depth of 412 km
• Fiji at a depth of 548 km

According to Magali Billen, professor of geophysics in the University of California, deep earthquakes most often strike in regions of “high strain” where a sinking tectonic plate bends and folds.

Model of subducting plate shows why earthquakes cluster at certain depths (Magali Billen)

Earthquakes are labeled "shallow" if they occur at less than 50 kilometers of depth and they are labeled "deep" if they occur at 300-700 kilometers of depth. Earthquakes with depths from 50 kilometers to 300 kilometers are labeled “intermediate”. Shallow earthquakes often produce much more aftershocks than deep earthquakes.

Earthquakes occur in the crust or upper mantle of the Earth, which ranges from the earth's surface to about 700 kilometers deep. Below that depth, rocks tend to bend and flow rather than break, since the area is too hot and ductile.

Well, Iran has been very quiet in the last 48 hours. The last strong earthquake occurred on February 22 with a magnitude of 5.0 at 119 km (74 mi) WNW of Bandar Abbas (Hormozgan) (pop: 352,200)

Aftermath of turkish quake affecting the region (from TG):

There is a significant shallowing of the Tiger in Iraq. This is despite the fact that Iraq has previously experienced a shortage of water coming from Turkey. At the same time, the Turks refer to the earthquake, one of the consequences of which was the shallowing of the Tigris on their territory, in connection with which they were forced to delay water to maintain the level of reservoirs.

It is possible that the problem here is not in the malicious actions of the Turkish side, but in the natural factors associated with recent events. The displacement of the earth's crust both horizontally and vertically could change the course of the flow of the waters feeding the river, which today has led to the shallowing of rivers in the region. The Tigris and Euphrates basin is a single interconnected system, and it is possible that a new water balance is being established in it, which leads to sharp negative phenomena.

This is important for people living in Mexico and Guatemala. Carlsberg Ridge is the antipode of Mexico and there is a relationship between the M5.0+ earthquakes at Carlsberg Ridge and the response in Mexico with a M6.0+ earthquake.

The last time there was an M5.0 earthquake at Carlsberg Ridge was August 30, 2022 and 19 days later on September 19, 2022 Mexico recorded an M7.0 earthquake.

...a geologist in Mexico who assures that Mexico is the antipode of Carlsberg Ridge, then he foresees an earthquake of great magnitude, greater than 6 degrees in fact, between September and October of this year.
On February 28, 2023 Carlsberg Ridge recorded a M5.4. Maybe people in Mexico should be on the lookout in March-April just in case.
Q: (Joe) When you say "sequence", you don't necessarily mean in the same geographic region then?

A: No.
Carlsberg Ridge is connected with the East African Rift System.

Mid-Indian Ridge, submarine ridge of the Indian Ocean that is a direct continuance of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge; both are segments of the worldwide midoceanic ridge system. Entering the Indian Ocean from the South Atlantic, the Mid-Indian Ridge extends north to a point near Rodrigues Island, where it divides into two parts: one segment continues northward toward the Gulf of Aden, where it connects with the East African Rift System; the second branch extends southeast toward the Macquarie Islands. Between the Gulf of Aden and Rodrigues Island, the Mid-Indian Ridge bears the name Carlsberg Ridge. The ridge is associated with a belt of earthquake epicentres and, hence, is seismically active. This fact is further observed in its rough relief and thin sediment cover. Carlsberg Ridge

The seismologist Hugerbits, who predicted the tragedy in Turkey, told about the mega-earthquake in March



According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Dutch seismologist Frank Hugerbits, who predicted devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, said that a new mega-earthquake will occur on Earth in March.

The report of the Solar System Geometry Survey (USGS) scientific Institute, where the scientist works, says that the convergence of the planets on March 2 and 5 may lead to very large seismic activity. A series of earthquakes may occur from March 3 to March 7, 2023.

The magnitude of the tremors may be 8.5 or higher.

The institute also named the regions that fell into the so-called red zone: southern Japan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Greece, Portugal and part of North America.

Russia is also present in this list. Frank Hugerbits believes that a devastating earthquake may occur on the Kuril Islands.

Earlier it became known that the death toll as a result of earthquakes in Turkey has increased to 45,089.

 
The earthquake in Papua New Guinea occurred at a considerable depth of 599 km. The quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter ( @sToRmR1dR I think the HHOX YouTube video contains images from Turkey and not from this earthquake in Papua New Guinea.)
