Quake Watch 2017

a reply to: crappiekat

All I can say is that it was updated sometime between 10.00 UTC on the 29th Jan and today. 'Fraid I can't be more accurate that that as I don't go into the program that often - once a week normally. The rest of the time I watch the screen notifications.

I did note that EMSC has 6.0 still but they don't go back and change theirs very often. You will see there have been a few changes recently but none on the EMSC site. I don't normally report on onec that are still in the strong / major quake bands. Maybe EMSC are more accurate initially.

BTW I am confused and I have been up for a day nearly.

Psst! 2017-02-20T12:00:00.000Z

There is no 20th month

The QVSData Pro program has been updated to version 4.0.67.13

Your current version should detect the change and offer to download the new version and install it after you close.

If this does not happen please let me know.

They are only very minor changes. Details can be found here

Very shallow, I went back and had a look on Google Earth, the depth of the sea there is 3.5km, so that makes the quake 1.5km deep below the sea floor
also USGS had
3.9 km ± 3.4
which is only leaving 0.5km deep worst case scenerio the measurements are wrong

As usual when I don't download NZ data for 24 hrs things start to go to the dogs, yesterday ........

This area is really picking up.

www.emsc-csem.org...

The depts range from 100km to 2km. Is that area ripping open?

Muzzy

USGS has it as a 4.8

Ah.

I have some fixing to do.

a reply to: crappiekat

Both Turkey and offshore Ford land have been pretty quiet for a while,
that is 5+ I mean

I'm just commenting that Asia, from Turkey over to India, has becoming a little "clustery". And as Muzzy said, it's been kinda quiet in the whole Mediterranean (oh my god, i spelled Mediterranean correctly.) area. About half a year ago, the whole area was more active, and I would like to include Italy and North Africa into the equation. We've all seen how Italy has been very active for quite some time. I'm still waiting for the Greece/Turkey big one. Let's think about it. We've had some big stuff on the western side of Turkey (Italy), and lot's on the eastern side, Nepal etc. Just sayin

Just to clarify, I'll list the bumps that cross Asia. Turkey, Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan, (I spelled it wrong), Afghanistan, India, and China. All with moderate bumps in a tight window. i haven't checked the moon. I'm only thinking moon and tides after seeing the Caspian Sea in the mix.


Oh, while I'm here. I think South America will have big band soon. Tons of water and flooding. California got it's rain. I wonder what will happen when the aquifers try to recharge themselves to make up for the depletion that has been severe. Oh, today the moon is at perigee. The full moon isn't for a few days.

Yes. I was thinking about the Anatloian Fault. (strike slip fault).

I have spent a good part of my morning reading about the faults in the area.

Thx for the reply.

a reply to: crappiekat

Without looking to closely at it right now from memory the consensus was that the next one on the Anatolian Fault would be in the west near Istanbul, but that one in Samothraki 6.8Mw in 2014 kind of jumped over Istanbul and now these more south into the Aegean........
is that what you are reading?

a reply to: muzzy

Yes but it meet up with other faults. I don't know, I'm looking at the big picture.

I am now reading about, "Isotatic adjustment"

www.reference.com...

I am going down a Rabbit hole. But I am getting back into it.

I kinda lost focus for some time.



When I saw this event, it kinda got me thinking about one fault making another fault adjust.

Glaciers?? yes that is a bigger picture.

there are a few doom Anatolian fault scenerio stories on this page
www.sciencedaily.com...

and this on the sequencing and cyclical nature of the North Anatolian Fault
www.geology.um.maine.edu...



This article PDF Progressive failure on the North Anatolian fault since 1939 by earthquake stress triggering Ross S. Stein 1, Aykut A. Barka 2 and James H. Dieterich published in 1997 is quite interesting as they were right, there was another one to the west in 1999, killed 17,118.
(17 years, 5 months ago)
it has been quiet since.


if you Google North Anatolian Fault and switch to images you might see a few maps like this, showing the sequences going west, but this is mine and it's not so clearly showing that, they jump back and forth, I used M6.5 and bigger quakes


is this the old story of making the data/facts fit the argument???
I won't press the issue, because they predicted the 1999 quake based on their maps

maybe if I just used 7+ it might come out the same as theirs.
but I will soon run out of ATS time to draw that (4 minutes to go)

You can get more detail from KOERI about the Turkish quakes, if you don't already have the link, text and maps
www.koeri.boun.edu.tr...
but I like my own version, by magnitude colour

Asia is still active. Turkey and now Pakistan at 6.3M

Thank you Muzzy for the links. Really!!! Thank you.

This rabbit hole is taking me deeper and deeper.

I am learning alot, but at the same time, I have more questions.

I like your mag version too. It makes it easier to see what I am looking at, and for.

a reply to: ericblair4891

Yes Eric.

I am watching this area alot.

As I have said above, I am looking at "Isotatic adjustment"

Things are melting. Things are changing.

Crustal adjustment?

Couple of quakes in Romania
4.7
and
4.4
likely Vrancea Deep at it again, 127km and 127km deep respectively.
Not sure if these are related to the Turkish quakes at Canakkale or not?
Looking at the Moment Tensor on GFZ they are in the opposite quarters.
But I have never got my head around these MT's and how to read them, so it may mean nothing.
That Vrancea Deep is quite interesting I was reading about it a while back, it is like a big narrow crack in the Crust that doesn't seem to be related to any other subduction or transform faults in the eastern Europe or Asia Minor area

Big Quake?

Why do these 3 go together?
I don't think they do, but the combination has happened before if I recall
