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 ...
A 4.1 magnitude earthquake occurs at Woods Point, Victoria just before 4:00am, with seismologists concluding that it was an aftershock from the 2021 Mansfield earthquake. [502] The water temperature around the Great Barrier Reef is reported to have reached a 400-year record high, which is causing more mass bleaching events. [503]
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 ...

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 ...
