That’s the same one

A strong earthquake has occurred in Tashkent (Uzbekistan), people are running out into the streets from residential buildings and shopping centers, Gazeta.uz reports.

According to the Republican Center for Seismic Prognostic Monitoring of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Uzbekistan, the epicenter of the earthquake was in Afghanistan. The magnitude of the earthquake was 6.6.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Center estimates the magnitude of the tremors at 6.8.

Well, about 30 minutes ago, I had a nap, and dream that was trembling, and woke up and was actually trembling. It was strange because she felt like a fast and intense vibration, she had never felt a tremor of those characteristics, but curiously it was not as strong (5.6) as perceived.

The earthquake analyst I mentioned above, who publishes his analysis on YouTube , points out that the earthquakes in Afghanistan and Chile will have repercussions for Europe and Central and South America respectively

What I can tell you in advance is that after the earthquake in Afghanistan I am quite concerned about the region of Japan and also the area between Greece and Italy..

The following impact points are confirmed for Potential M7+ earthquake in America and Europe after what happened in Ecuador the global turmoil does not end Mexico Chile Japan Greece Turkey MAXIMUM ATTENTION the next days are crucial!

Maximum Seismic Alert next hours for Chile Argentina Mexico Japan Greece Italy It is clear that global upheaval is a fact here we will give all the details (if more strong earthquakes come).

Possible M7+ earthquakes look set to hit the highest risk areas over the next few days including one that could be the strongest in years for Europe while in #South America #Mexico and #Central America the outlook is not much better.

The estimated energy released from the earthquake in Afghanistan was in the order of 5.3 atomic bombs according to Volcanodiscovery.

The fulcrum hypothesis

Earthquake analyst Jesús Ramos broadcasts his analysis through his YouTube channel called Ka-Tet (one [made] from many) In the last of his videos he mentions the reasons why he believes there will be a strong earthquake in Europe, mainly in Italy and Greece.

His hypothesis is that a large magnitude earthquake such as the one in Turkey is a fulcrum, which causes seismic waves to shoot to one side or the other.

The "shocks" from one side and the other would result in moderate to strong seismic activity.

Eastward already happened with this last 6.5 magnitude earthquake in Afghanistan and a response would be expected somewhere between Italy and Greece.



The fulcrum: allows the rigid bar to rest on it, it works as an axis.

Jesús Ramos mentions that the energy has already moved to the east and has yet to impact the other point.

Normally in a fulcrum point is shaking at both ends of the same area that is undergoing a great pressure.

The fulcrum point was the M7.8 earthquake in Turkey and the extremes are going to burst with half magnitude down or seven tenths down, that is why it speaks of a 7+ earthquake.



This is especially worrisome for Greece since there was an earthquake in Afghanistan. It would possibly be in the Aegean or Adriatic Sea area or the southern part of Italy.

An earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.0[3][note 1] occurred on 30 October 2020 about 14 km (8.7 mi) northeast of the Greek island of Samos. Although Samos was closest to the epicentre, it was the Turkish city İzmir, 70 km (43 mi) northeast that was heavily affected—more than 700 residential and commercial structures were seriously damaged or destroyed. 117 people died in İzmir Province while an additional 1,034 were injured.[8][9] In Greece, there were two fatalities and 19 injured.[10] The earthquake is the deadliest in the year 2020, and the third major earthquake to strike Turkey that year. The event is called the Samos earthquake by the International Seismological Centre.[3] Wikipedia

The same applies for Central and South America after the M6.8 earthquake in Ecuador (in fact there was a 5.3 foreshock and subsequent M6.5 mainshock in Argentina).



Now, a few hours ago SSGEOS detected an atmospheric fluctuation targeting the west coast of the United States and Baja California Mexico. If we remember there was a M4.6 earthquake in California yesterday. Previously SSGEOS had detected in the same area an atmospheric fluctuation, but there was no event.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1638505162930044928

Is it possible that the M4.6 is a foreshock?

According to Jesus Ramos the answer is no, the energy from the Alaska M5.4 earthquake will continue its path southward and will not have a major impact on Cascadia or the San Andreas Fault, however, other areas may experience mild to moderate seismic activity in Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

On the other hand, Mexico may experience a strong seismic event, but it requires further analysis and waiting for what happens in South America.

M5.1 quake West Chile changes the forecast for South America according to Ka-tet

USGS earthquake alert


Within hours and no later than April 2, Ka-tet issues an earthquake warning of M6+ and in the worst case M7+ for Chile and especially for the areas of Osorno, Los Lagos, Valdivia, Concepción, Araucania and Temuco.

This is due to the migration of energy from the M6.5 earthquake in Argentina on March 22 to the East Ridge of the Pacific Ocean and subsequent return to the Nazca Plate through the fracture system.

On the other hand, the area of Turkey has stopped shaking significantly but the earthquake in Afghanistan was at an intermediate depth of 187 km.

M 6.5 - 40 km SSE of Jurm, Afghanistan
2023-03-21 16:47:23 (UTC)
36.523°N 70.979°E. 187.6 km depth
USGS earthquake alert

Deep earthquakes (greater than 70 km) trigger shallow earthquakes. Thus, the first response to the Afghanistan earthquake of March 21 at 16:47 UTC at a depth of 287 km, was the Tajikistan earthquake of magnitude 5.9 on March 22 at 20:07 UTC at a depth of 5.6 km.

M 5.9 - 51 km NNW of Novobod, Tajikistan
2023-03-22 20:07:44 (UTC)
39.452°N 69.953°E. 5.6 km depth
USGS earthquake alert

According to USGS

Shallow earthquakes are between 0 and 70 km deep; intermediate earthquakes, 70 - 300 km deep; and deep earthquakes, 300 - 700 km deep. In general, the term "deep-focus earthquakes" is applied to earthquakes deeper than 70 km. All earthquakes deeper than 70 km are localized within great slabs of lithosphere that are sinking into the Earth's mantle.

Ka-tet mentions that if the earthquake in Tajikistan had reached magnitude 6.1 this would indicate that enough energy was released, however, being below magnitude 6.0 indicates that the energy continues to concentrate in that region, which could possibly cause an M6+ earthquake and in the worst case M7+ in the next hours and until April 2nd if another event does not occur that modifies the forecast.

In the midst of all this seismic activity, the first point of impact would be Iran, the north of Saudi Arabia and the northwest of Pakistan, and it is not even ruled out that Turkey could again suffer a major impact.


The next seismic alarm is for Europe specifically for the Mediterranean region of southern Italy, Greece and Cyprus at the other end of the M6.5 impact in Afghanistan. The energy compensation could trigger an M6+ and in the worst case M7+ earthquake in the next few hours and up to April 2.

Finally PhD Richard Cordaro tweeted about a phenomenon that happened with the M6.5 earthquake in Afghanistan. He called it a gravitational disturbance.
