Strange EQ, and 4.9

real swarm down there

since it's important..


seriously we never get 3.4's

guess not important enough since i doens't have guns in the title....owell back to passive mode

Thanks for your report. Keep us updated!

Atlantis rising?

Yeah was wondering too, 5*s.
Big quakes in the future around Europe are not unlikely when you think of 1755 All Saints Day Earthquake.

Thanks 333. Hope it remains quiet, you can feel a 3.4 pretty well.

Earthquakes deep on the Reykjanes Ridge
Posted on January 21, 2013 by Jón Frímann

Yesterday (20.01.2013) there where few medium sized earthquakes deep on the Reykjanes Ridge. The earthquakes where far off the coast of Iceland (around 1340 km from Reykjavík). So this earthquake swarm is just being noticed on instruments.

What is going on there is impossible to know. The largest earthquake in this swarm is a magnitude Mb5.2 earthquake that did happen at 21:40 UTC.
Earlier and earthquakes that did follow this earthquake had the magnitude from Mb4.7 to Mb5.0.

More earthquake activity might take place on this location. But it is hard to know due to lack of data. But it is worth keeping an eye on it. As things remain quiet in Iceland at the moment.

Thread: EARTHQUAKE swarm REYKJANES RIDGE Atlantic Ocean

Sorry, OP. There are some of us who are interested. We're following another thread if you'd like to join in.

Speaking of Katla, I never knew Iceland had so many volcanoes.

A real hotspot, named Iceland....

The island has 30 active volcanic systems, of which 13 have erupted since the settlement of Iceland in AD 874.[1]

Of these 30 volcanic systems, the most active/volatile is Grímsvötn.[2] Over the past 500 years, Iceland's volcanoes have erupted a third of the total global lava output.[3]

The most fatal volcanic eruption of Iceland's history was the so-called Skaftáreldar (fires of Skaftá) in 1783-84. The eruption was in the crater row Lakagígar (craters of Laki) southeast of Vatnajökull glacier. The craters are a part of a larger volcanic system with the subglacial Grímsvötn as a central volcano.

Roughly a quarter of the Icelandic nation died because of the eruption. Most died not because of the lava flow or other direct effects of the eruption, but from indirect effects, including changes in climate and illnesses in livestock in the following years caused by the ash and poisonous gases from the eruption. The 1783 eruption in Lakagígar is thought to have erupted the largest quantity of lava from a single eruption in historic times.

The eruption under Eyjafjallajökull ("glacier of Eyjafjöll") in 2010 was notable because the volcanic ash plume disrupted air travel in northern Europe for several weeks; however this volcano is minor in Icelandic terms. In the past, eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull have been followed by eruption of the larger volcano Katla, but after the 2010 eruption no signs of an imminent eruption of Katla were seen.[4]

The eruption in May 2011 at Grímsvötn under the Vatnajökull glacier sent thousands of tonnes of ash into the sky in a few days, raising concerns of a repeat of the travel chaos seen across northern Europe.

I agree...very strange location.

yea i wouldn't post it if we ussually had EQ's, that Reykjanes ridge is being strangly active too, been watchin that one aswell


we sure live in strange times that's for sure



thanks for checking out my thread guys!

we had few unusual quakes in this past week here also...

i have never expirienced a 4.1 eq,it was mindblowing

and than in bosnia 3.8

hmmm

yea seems activity below is spreading


Southpole ridge

Germany is gettin small clusters( all around 1.1)

and you should watch it because thats where

Laacher See is

So really thanks for the people checking out this thread, there is more going on, just keep searching!

the earth is going to get rid of the fleas

One off the coast of Australia tonight, in an unusual place. Between us, and the edge of our plate, over at NZ.

thanks for adding it here!!!



People keep adding strange EQ's in here, maybe we can see a pattern

5.1 near alaska!!!!!

Quakes of this magnitude are perfectly normal on the Reykjanes Ridge. It's also usual that these quakes come in swarms.

Historic seismicity durin the last 20 years: [link to earthquake.usgs.gov]

yea keep sleeping, holland doesn't get 3.4's....you've missed the point completely

they say it is 5.5
[link to www.emsc-csem.org]

and now it vanished here?
[link to quakes.globalincidentmap.com]

the usgs doesnt have it either

woa that is weird

Do you know which town it was? Did MSM report this eq in our country?

MSM reported it, 18 hours ago:

(for english speakers use translator,this links in dutch)


and to answer your question i know the TOWNS:

Montfort 2.7 at 14km time 2013-01-20 : 18:26:32

Beek 3.4 at 8km time 18:26:33 same day


the one in Beek could be dangerous if more follow, lots of chemical Companies like DSM:

hope that answered it :) thanks for the reply too!!

the big one is going to happen soon..

Thanks for the info. Hopefully none will follow. I used to live near the botlek area.. no eq's there, but always a chance something will explode over there.

and then you mean the global one....at least that's what i think considering the buildupfrom last 5 years
