The earthquake shortly after 9 a.m. local time was at a depth of 10 km.
North Queensland was rocked by 5.8 magnitude earthquake, 124 km southeast of Townsville. The quake struck at 3.31pm, about 130 km south of Townsville, 60 km west of Bowen and 10 km below the earth's surface. Victoria/New South Wales/Tasmania/South Australia: Mansfield: 2021-09-22: 5.9 M w: VII 1 Building and other damage in Melbourne and ...
An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or larger strikes Australia about once every six to ten years, based on the seismological data collected over the past 150 years. The last-known magnitude 6.0 quake in Australia occurred in 2016 in the Northern Territory. [14] That earthquake occurred as a result of shallow reverse faulting within the Australian ...
Seismograph recording of harmonic tremor Four major types of seismograms, or seismic signatures. A harmonic tremor is a sustained release of seismic and infrasonic energy typically associated with the underground movement of magma, the venting of volcanic gases from magma, or both in volcanoes, and with repetitive stick-slip or other impulsive activity in non-volcanic systems.
A small earthquake measuring magnitude 2.2 struck near Whitehouse Station in Hunterdon County about 3 p.m. on Thursday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake occurred at a depth ...
A magnitude 4 earthquake rattled Southern California before dawn Sunday morning — the strongest in a series of modest earthquakes to strike near the Ontario International Airport in the last month.
Episodic tremor and slip (ETS) is a seismological phenomenon observed in some subduction zones that is characterized by non-earthquake seismic rumbling, or tremor, and slow slip along the plate interface. Slow slip events are distinguished from earthquakes by their propagation speed and focus. In slow slip events, there is an apparent reversal ...
In 2023, the United States Geological Survey has recorded eight earthquakes near the Fort Jackson Army base in South Carolina. Another earthquake strikes tremor-prone area near South Carolina Army ...
