Earthquake jolts North Sea off Denmark

4.7

Northsea Quake.

I didn't see it in here, yet.
Just try to be helpful

a remarkable last hour out there.... 11:32 *MAGNITUDE 5.6 EARTHQUAKE AT CHIAPAS, MEXICO, USGS SAYS 11:20 *MAGNITUDE 5.6 QUAKE REPORTED AT GUATEMALA, USGS SAYS
10:54 *MAGNITUDE 5.5 EARTHQUAKE AT KURIL ISLANDS, USGS SAYS
10:38 *MAGNITUDE 5.1 EARTHQUAKE IN WESTERN IRAN, USGS SAYS

Today seems to have comprised of less quakes but the ones we've had have been, on the whole, 4.0+. Can't help but feel something's brewing.

I find the odd locations a bit worrisome as well, and the magnitudes staying in the four plus range does cause for concern. Living in Vancouver we have for years been sayin its coming. And with all the action north of me in Alaska and south of me in California and the one shaker three days back in the straight of Juan de fuca. Just have a gut feeling I'm gonna be on the USGS site reporting that I've been feeling some shaking pretty soon, lets hope I'm wrong but this seems like it gearing up for something big.

southern Ontario, Canada. Around 8:37pm felt one enough to come to the comp to see if anything is reported, and havn't found anything yet. Anyone else feel this?

Mike, with reference to your question to me in the Chile thread, I gather all USGS data fro quakes 1.0+ and have been doing since the beginning of 2009 using my QuakeData program. USGS classify the areas in the list and one such area in the "northern mid-atlantic ridge".

This was the classification I was going on, but I think the confusion arises in the spread of latitude they use to classify this area.

I note your search was a circle thus:

FILE CREATED: Sun Feb 28 09:04:00 2010
Circle Search Earthquakes= 17
Circle Center Point Latitude: 10.896N Longitude: 43.442W
Radius: 300.000 km
Catalog Used: PDE
Date Range: 1990/01/01 to 2010/02/27
Magnitude Range: 5.0 - 10.0

This is the data that I have which is classified by them as NMAR

11/03/2009 23:50:33,15.5568,-46.7589,4.70,26,10.00,northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge,False

Separating the 5.0+ out this gives

Date/Time UTC,Latitude,Longitude,Magnitude,No Of Rept Stns,Depth(Km),Location,Revised
27/02/2010 19:54:29,10.8963,-43.4424,5.40,196,10.00,northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge,False
12/02/2010 11:20:39,29.7343,-42.7754,5.10,96,10.00,northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge,False
06/10/2009 00:16:04,46.5020,-27.2756,5.20,173,10.00,northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge,False
06/06/2009 20:33:28,23.8595,-46.0837,6.00,293,10.00,northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge,True
24/03/2009 12:34:55,14.6551,-45.0783,5.20,73,10.00,northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge,False

The difference between your circle and what they classify as northern mid-atlantic ridge would seem to be the source of our difference in figures.

I have plotted the 5 I have in Google Earth and it really is quite a massive spread. It would seem that they refer to 'northern' as anything north of the equator.
