I hadn't looked at Italy yet this year, did anyone notice the 4.3 on the 4th Jan, NW of Mt. Etna at Cesaro, had quite a few aftershocks (23) in the day/days following
same map but zoomed in on Cesaro

Pollino Nat Park ( Calabria) is still pumping out the mag 1's since the 5.0 there in October 2012
and a reasonable sized 28 event swarm of micros near Arquata del Tronto, Province of Ascoli Piceno (down the spine)

Re the background on each graph, I accidentally clicked the wrong button on GPSVisualiser one day ages ago and just got the icons, no map, had thought since then that its pretty cool how you can almost tell what country it is from the earthquake icons layout, sort of like a seismic signature
knew I'd find a use for it one rainy day

Please be aware if you are using any version of the QVSData program that Australia changed some data formats @0240 UTC today which has broken the Australia import.

I am working on fixing it and hope to have an updated program by this evening.

image doesn't want to work. Forget it.

Just stay out of the way if Heineken and Smirnoff appear!

Here we have an interesting if small earthquake.

2013-01-14 16:20:04, 36.121, 136.996, 4.5, 266.9, Nr. W. Coast Of Honshu. Japan [Map]

Although the magnitude in Mw would be ~mag 5 never mind the magnitude, feel the depth. A subduction quake on the left hand side of Japan - opposite the Eastern end of the Nankai Trough but probably from the Japan Trench as the Pacific plate subducts, as it is too deep for the Philippine plate I think.

another one !

I seen a couple of 4's (purple ones) on the NIED preliminary map on the 13th over west of Honshu and Hokkaido in the Sea of Japan. They were deep too.

I've see a change in the activity for Japan happening this last week, that clump of quakes that were the aftershocks of the 7.3 at the Japan Trench (Far of East Coast of Honshu) have tapered away and there is more movement to the north (and west) now.

Not sure what it means?, something coming up for China/Russia?
I'll go have a look at NIED now for the last 24hrs, its about that time of day.


yep there it is on NIED,

and another deep one in the Sea of Japan 1 and a bit hours earlier

also a 4.1 just north of Tokyo, moderately deep too.

map of those

something is definitely up!

reply to post by muzzy


Thanks for doing that map Muzzy, and for the additional information. It is the deeper ones which interest me and I have picked out the three purple coloured icon from the map.

Looking at this map of the Wadati-Benioff zone (one set) of the subducting Pacific plate these three quakes appear to match the zone. First here is the map:



I have attempted to overlay this on to your map with just the three icons - the deeper quakes.



It is not perfect but I believe that if this was done accurately those three icons would fall neatly into the zone bands of depth as portrayed. This would mean that a subduction movement is happening I venture to suggest even though the evidence is somewhat flimsy as all the maps and locations are inevitably not perfectly accurate.

Sorry, forgot to add: The document from which that Wadati-Benioff map was taken is this which is a PDF file the source of which I do not know at this time. The diagram is on page 5 (194) in the document.

You can find confirmation of these depth contours here: Japan in a subduction zone. See the diagram No 4.

The direct link to that diagram shows both the A and B diagrams in the PDF overlaid. You can see the complexity that is Japan!!

PDF of that web page section pages 1/2/3 - the whole site is worth a read however
