A magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck a few kilometres east of this earthquake back on the morning of 1 March 1922, which was felt throughout Melbourne, knocking picture frames off a wall in Cowes. New South Wales: Newcastle: 1925-12-18 5.3 Damage and panic in Hunter Street (particularly at the Theatre Royal). [12] Tasmania: North East Tasmania ...
The earthquake shortly after 9 a.m. local time was at a depth of 10 km.
On 4 October 2021, a 2.9-magnitude tremor was felt in the Victorian town of Rawson at approximately 11:11 p.m. The following day, two further tremors were recorded, both with a 3.0 magnitude occurring at 7:17 a.m. and at 9:17 a.m. [28] It is believed to be linked to the earthquake which occurred two weeks prior. Geoscience Australia estimates ...
In seismology, a microseism is defined as a faint earth tremor caused by natural phenomena. [1] [2] Sometimes referred to as a "hum", [3] it should not be confused with the anomalous acoustic phenomenon of the same name. The term is most commonly used to refer to the dominant background seismic and electromagnetic noise signals on Earth, which ...
A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck Gippsland near Moe at 8.55 pm on 19 June 2012, at a shallow depth of 10.0 km. [2] It was the strongest recorded in Victoria in at least three decades, [3] [4] with some sources suggesting it was the strongest in over a century.
An earthquake – also called a quake, tremor, or temblor – is the shaking of the Earth's surface resulting from a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in intensity , from those so weak they cannot be felt, to those violent enough to propel objects and people into the air, damage ...
It has now been established that the horizontal microtremor spectra often show the characteristics of the source rather than the transfer function of a site. Yukta Nakamura [1] in 1989, modified microtremor analysis by proposing a new technique, generally referred to as the H/V method. In this technique, it was shown that the source effect can ...
