The quake, which occurred at 10:06 a.m. Hawaii time, produced 'very strong' shaking near the epicenter, as defined by the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale. Magnitude 5.7 earthquake hits Hawaii's ...
KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP) — A magnitude 5.3 earthquake hit the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii on Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Earthquakes (M6.0+) since 1900 through 2017 Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018. The apparent 3D volumes of the bubbles are linearly proportional to their respective fatalities. [1] One of the most devastating earthquakes in recorded history was the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake, which occurred on 23 January 1556 in Shaanxi, China.
The 2006 Kīholo Bay earthquake occurred on October 15 at 07:07:49 local time with a magnitude of 6.7 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). The shock was centered 21 kilometers (13 mi) southwest of Puakō and 21 km (13 mi) north of Kailua-Kona , Hawaiʻi , just offshore of the Kona Airport , at a depth of 38.2 km (23.7 mi).
In two most recent investigations using statistically stable samples for Italian earthquakes (approximately 100,000 events over the period 1981–2002 in the Richter local [M L ] magnitude range of 3.5–5.8) [5] and for Indian earthquakes exemplified by an aftershock sequence of 121 events with M s (surface wave magnitude) > 4.0 in 2001 in the Bhuj area of northwestern India, [4] the latest ...
For U.S. earthquake scientists, Japan's 'megaquake' warning renewed worries about when and how to warn the public if they find clues that the 'big one' might be coming for the West COast.
1906 Ecuador–Colombia earthquake: 8.8 6 February 27, 2010: Maule, Chile 2010 Chile earthquake: 8.8 7 February 3, 1965: Rat Islands, Alaska, United States 1965 Rat Islands earthquake: 8.7 8 August 15, 1950: Assam, India – Tibet, China 1950 Assam–Tibet earthquake: 8.6–8.7 [39] 9 April 1, 1946: Aleutian Islands, Alaska, United States
According to researchers who reported the event in Nature, this sunquake was comparable to an earthquake of a magnitude 11.3 on the Richter scale. That represents a release of energy approximately 40,000 times greater than that of the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and far greater than that of any earthquake ever recorded. Such an ...
