It has just been a while…
So I figures I’d put up another quake posting. The USGS has gone to a new “interactive” style of map and these links are flagged as obsolescent (and to be discontinued) so at some point this will just stop working ( why I had been ramping down these postings, though I’ve not figured a decent way to embed the new maps).
California is being a bit active, but the 2 week total is just 344. Likely the start of a new ramp up. I get interested when the total is near 400 and very interested when it is over 400, but that’s by definition a few days to 2 weeks into it.
New Zealand is having volcanoes. Yes, 2 of them.
“Stuff” is just being fairly interesting right now… but no Big One to hang your hat on.

Hope California doesn’t start swarming with earthquakes!
I only follow your earthquake postings. This is the first time I have noticed quakes on the antarctic continent.
How long before a large piece of ice breaks loose?
Does anyone know how common quakes are on the antarctic continent (are they rare)?
You know, if the Ozzie’s and the Kiwi’s would stop screwing around things would be pretty nice. There has to be a way to stop them from coming up here and ruining the neighborhood. CO2 ain’t the problem it’s those uppity Downunders that are the BIG problem. They won’t be satisfied until there’s just one Super Continent, and when the get it, just you watch, they’ll be the first to get bored and leave to go back down South. Convict Celts are pushy people;-)
ChiefIO,
from daily eyeballing the Norther and Southern Hemisphere maps, it appears to me 2/3 to 3/4 of quakes represented occur in the NH.
Is that a mirage ?
Interesting pattern on the California side of North America. Modest sized quakes both “above” and “below” it. The ones off the coast of Mexico often seem to propagate northward. It looks like the prior stress relief around the rest of the Pacific Plate is finally showing up here. (Or maybe it is just a random pattern…)

(part of a set of 2 stacked almost on top of each other in the Cascadia spreading zone. There also is an interesting “checkerboard” of little yellow dots over the American West / Rockies.
The number of quakes in California in the last 2 weeks isn’t all that high, but the size of each is a bit larger and the pattern just looks more like “something is up”. Can’t define it better than that. It’s just “not the usual slow creep / release” look. A bit more “inland scattering” and a few larger sized ones. Especially those Cascadia and Mexican offshore ones on the spreading zones
The whole Indonesia arc is also covered in dots.
@BobN:
Thanks! I’ll take a look.
@Pascvaks:
I think the Australian continent has been separated from the rest of the world that it’s not going to be moving back north any time soon ;-)
@Scott Finegan:
Ice doesn’t break off due to quakes. It breaks off when the sheet has floated out over the water enough for tidal forces to break off chunks. The stuff grounded on land is prone to flowing under pressure, so a little shaking can, at most, put some cracks in it that just ‘heal’ under continued flow pressures.
Antarctica gets quakes too. Not as many as other places (mostly due to the pressures being fairly mild in that area with mid ocean ridge spreading mostly pushing east / west on the Pacific and Atlantic areas). There’s also subduction under Alaska and some spreading in an arc around the Arctic Circle. Look at that “map of plates” at the bottom of the posting. Notice that Antarctica is surrounded by a spreading zone? It has fairly balanced pressures around the edges. All the subduction / destruction happening ‘elsewhere’ from that spreading (see area around the Pacific Plate for example…)
So it gets quakes, but more like the middle of North America or Siberia gets quakes. A stable mid continent area gets some kinds of block thrust going on and some volcanic activity, but just not anywhere near like that at an active subduction zone. If we start getting a lot of them it would be of interest. The occasional 4 or 5 scale event isn’t a surprise.
California just picked up a 4.x off the Y area where the Cascadia comes ashore:

@LG:
Not an illusion. More of the active areas are in the N.H. Look at the global 30 day graph at the very top. Where Africa slams into Europe and where India ran into Asia are above the equator. Where the Pacific Plate is being crammed under { Philippines, Japan, Kamchatca, Alutians, Alaska, Canada) and the Slip area along California are all in the N.H.
The southern hemisphere gets the large relatively passive chunk of Antarctica along with the lower activity boundary where it runs into other plates. Places like that south Indian Ocean area where not much happens. The major S.H. activity is where the Pacific Plate is getting crammed into New Zealand on one side and South America on the other. Just not as much area / linear impact. The highly active Indonesia arc is right on the equator, so visually tends to be not attributed to the S.H.
In short: You get land where the tectonic activity is smashing things together and most of that is in the N.H. right now. Large placid areas of sea bottom have spreading, but not a lot of interesting quakes going on. There’s lots of sea bottom in the S.H.

About 20 years ago, while going through a 3D visualization software course, it occurred to me that it would be an interesting exercise to plot earthquake data in the 3D “tank”. The University of Alaska / Geophysical Institute maintained a searchable database of Alaskan earthquake loci. After downloading the available data for Cook Inlet and converting the x,y and z units to feet, I displayed the profile of the north pacific subduction zone diving below Anchorage and the Cook Inlet. The image is a beautiful illustration of the subduction process with earthquake activity dying out at about the 110 mile depth due to the plastic nature of the rock at that depth and the magma returning to the surface in the volcanoes of the Aleutian Range.
I saved the screen dump. This view is towards the north. The blue film on the upper surface is Cook Inlet.

I don’t know why, but there is just something about that pattern on the USA West Coast that is disturbing. From the 6.x in the Aleutians to the chain of “mid sized” quakes from the tip of Baja to the Y at Cascadia ( in the context of Japan having had a ‘great quake’ and Japan / Cascadia having a ‘few years offset’ between them on Great Quakes).
It just “feels like” not time to be near the Cascadia fault system. Or the Hayward / Calaveras system either.
It’s just “wrong” somehow. Probably nothing. Probably just a pattern non-match to “normal” based on my lack of observation of the whole suite of choices. But it’s just too many “bigger” than usual. Fewer total, but more of them bigger squares. Like it is building toward an energy release.
I’d admonish to “check all the quake gear” except I already did that a few months ago.
Ah, well, life in Shaky City ;-)
Wonder if there is an “average energy vs average number” of quakes metric? It’s what I’m seeing. Average energy being higher in relation to quake count…
@Jeff Dolan:
Nice image!
@Sandy:
Nice link, too!
Interesting pattern in the Northern Hemisphere. A 6.x in Alaska. Then a “double tap” of two 6.x quakes in Iran. Now it’s “moved on” at about the same latitude to a 6.x in China…
I’ve seen these “triangular sets” before as we get symmetrical activity. Sometimes it is just a double (one on each side about 180 degrees) but often it is sets of three places about 120 degrees apart. Not exact, just ‘close enough’ to see. This one started off like a 180. Now we’ve got a ‘misplaced third’… Wonder if we get the symmetrical one in California…

As a 7.7 in a subduction zone we’ve got the chance for Tsunami…
Is it me or are we having a spate of some larger quake at the moment. It’s been a while since I’ve seen so many 4+ rumbles so close together, or have I missed something?
@Tckev:
It’s not just you. I commented on it a bit further up with respect to California. Fewer squares (under 400) but the image being nearly a solid line of color as each square is larger.
Looking at the N.H. map, it has more total area covred in squares than at other times. ( I’ve saved various images over time so can do an A / B of a couple if needed).
However, quakes are a stochastic process, so will have waves of more / less. Being as the ‘cycle’ is at least 1000 years long, you can have long term persistent ‘trends’ that are more than a lifetime, and are just random wander…
Califiornia was well over 400 in the Supermoon, then down to about 350. Now up at 383 and rising. Yet the 350 point was more of a solid line of dots as more of them looked larger to to me.
Does it mean anything? Who knows…

@Adolfo:
Nice catch… Looks like the 7.x activity we had way down south a year or two back has moved a bit more north… Next stop L.A.? ( or I’m just projecting patterns where there are none…)
Just noticed the “quake count” on the California map is over 800 at 808… Never seen a number that high.
BTW, found a Peruvian Restaurant in town. We’re going to try it in a couple of days. Any suggestions for particularly Peruvian dishes to look for?
@E.M. Sorry for my errant post on the other thread. I missed this post, and was looking for a “tips/suggestion” link but could not find one.
While none of these quakes were anything major, the largest ones are as big as the one that hit the east coast a year ago (and they are still talking about – go figure). And as you noted, the sheer number was what caught my attention (that plus the epicenter is about 2-3 miles from my inlaws). I am still new to the “quake chasers” endeavor, so I found it highly interesting, even if it apparently is not unique.
Thanks for the link and the discussion.
