Following Japan quakes is like a taking geography lesson every day.
Latest Swarm is south of Matsuyama, around Iyonagahama (IYONADA SETONAIKAI) and SE of Uchiko, (SW EHIME PREF) along the Median Tectonic Line through Shikoku island
The quakes started as low frequency tremor on 29/10, through to today
nothing above M1 in the reviewed data, but certainly a decent number below.
There are 4 main sub-areas of activity in the last 5 days, 131 events within a 31km radius of Kita.
From Uchikoshiyama SE to Amagiriyama there were 69 events,
around Uchiko 29 events,
17 around Iyonagahama,
all these mostly on the 1st Nov.
and on the north east edge of activity W of Kuma 16 events, mostly on the 29th.

Even though the biggest quake (tremor?) was only 0.8ML, the total number of these managed to release 5.051TTNT, which I guess is a good thing, taking the pressure off.

Swarm or Aftershocks?
Seems a lot for a 3.1.

Pretty certain you can call both of these, and even the 6.0 offshore 30 minutes prior to the 6.8 as aftershocks of the Sept 16th M8.4

this lot


17 days worth of aftershocks of the 8.4 (up to 05/10)


M6+ aftershocks of the 8.4 (up to 05/10)


this set closer


I quit downloading the 8.4 aftershocks at 1188 on 5/10/2015, wonder how many there have been in the month since?

I seen the earlier quakes too, and thought the 5ish Nicobar quakes were triggered by the 5.7 off W Sumatra.
Maybe they were, same as back in 2004.

a reply to: muzzy

AWWW, you bring up 2004, I have been thinking about that all morning. I was thinking these were just aftershocks of 2004. Am I right to think that? What, 11 years. Is that too long to look at it that way?

a reply to: crappiekat

I answered my own question.

en.wikipedia.org...

en.wikipedia.org...

Saw this 3.1 in Wyoming, but looking at the depth, it's "-3.0km" not just "3.0km". so if it's minus, is it 3km above the site? or just an error, and is just a 3.0 depth?

Yes, I believe aftershocks can go on for many many years.
Canterbury NZ is a very good example, now after 5 years they still get a few quakes a day, in the 1-2-3 range.
We know these are aftershocks of the Darfield 7.1, because prior (in recorded history) there were no quakes in this area of Canterbury.

Here Ya go Westcoast,
