The earthquake struck some 30 kilometres (19 mi) off the coast of Efate. [7] The United States Geological Survey (USGS) placed the earthquake at M w 7.3 with a depth of 57.1 kilometres (35.5 mi). The focal mechanism indicated oblique-normal faulting. Together with the hypocentral depth, this implied faulting within the subducting Australian ...
This is a list of earthquakes in 2025. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in significant damage and/or casualties. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The maximum intensities are based on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. Earthquake magnitudes are based on data from the USGS.
The earthquake had a moment magnitude of 4.8 and a depth of 2.9 miles (4.7 km). Its epicenter was in Tewksbury Township, New Jersey, [a] at 40.689°N 74.754°W, about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Oldwick and 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Lebanon. [14]
A 1.8 magnitude earthquake was confirmed in Cokesbury at a depth of about 9.5 miles at 6:12 a.m. Another 1.8 magnitude earthquake was confirmed, this time in Coronaca, just below the surface of ...
In all, 68 earthquakes have hit the Columbia area since a 3.3-magnitude quake was recorded Dec. 27, 2021, according to the DNR. No major damage or injuries have been reported from any of the ...
PHOTO: A handout shakemap made available by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) shows the location of a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hitting off the coast of Cape Mendocino, Calif., on Dec. 5 ...
The magnitude of an earthquake can be estimated by measuring the area affected by intensity level III or above in km 2 and taking the logarithm. [1] A more accurate estimate relies on the development of regional calibration functions derived using many isoseismal radii. [7] Such approaches allow magnitudes to be estimated for historical ...
A map shows earthquakes above magnitude 2.5 that struck in the last week in Southern California. Quakes marked in orange occurred over a 24-hour period ending at 9 a.m. Monday, while those in ...
