Earthquakes In One Place After Another...

[Friends just call me Ross]

A shallow 6.0 has struck a populated area in Chile.  Not good. 

 

[CHecker]

Oh no not Chile. That poor country have been suffering one thing after another, like so many other places on this planet. No time to recover from one when another hits. 😪

[Friends just call me Ross]

A strong, relatively shallow, 6.0 just hit on land in Papua New Guinea.

 

 

 

 

 

[Osprey]

Oh earthquakes... one of the most terrifying things that you can experience, at least for me.

Thinking about my Canadian brothers and sisters from the westcoast:

 

2000 earthquakes in one day

[Friends just call me Ross]

That was back on March 6th, and it occurred on the Juan De Fuca fault, 150 miles out it the Pacific Ocean and none of them even registered a 1.0 on the Richter Scale.  

 

It was a sign of magma moving towards the surface.

 

No threat to people. 👍

A shallow 5.5 magnitude quake has just struck off the coast of Oregon, USA.

 

[Lewis]

Im noticing earthquakes are happening so often now, my app on phone is constantly beeping of an earthquake of mag 5.0+ literally every few minutes now. I don't recall ever seeing that magnitude as the norm before.

[Friends just call me Ross]

A 6.5 has struck on land in Japan.

Strongest earthquake in 25 years hits Taiwan, setting off tsunami alerts. 

 

A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off Taiwan's east coast on Wednesday, setting off tsunami warnings on the island and its neighbouring countries.

The epicentre is located about 18km (11mi) south of Taiwan's Hualien city, according to the US Geological Survey.

 

The Philippines' seismology agency has also issued a tsunami warning.

Chinese state media said tremors were felt in parts of China's south-eastern Fujian province.

"The earthquake is close to land and it's shallow. It's felt all over Taiwan and offshore islands...

It will be interesting to see if a big quake hits on the exact opposite side of the planet, in Paraguay.🤔

[Dages]

I hope the friends are ok

[Friends just call me Ross]

 

 

76 more quakes followed the 7.4, in less than five hours?😳

 

My nerves would have been a wreck.🫨😵‍💫🫨

 

I would have had to purchase a ticket on the first plane off that island. ✈️👍👍
