@SeismoSue

Aftershocks from the M6.5 #NevadaEarthquake cluster in proximity to the mainshock, as expected but, interestingly, the sequence includes a halo of more distance aftershocks...

Years ago, in another lifetime, I looked at triggered earthquakes following moderately large earthquakes & concluded that halos like this can be explained by the nature of wave propagation in the earth's crust...

Continental crust has a discontinuity at depth that we call the Moho (for short). Waves from an earthquake can travel down, hit the Moho, and, if it hits at certain angles, some of the energy bounces back up.

Typically you start to see this bouncy energy at distances of 50-100 km from the mainshock, depending on the depth of the Moho. Moho bounces are thought to have contributed to damage in the San Francisco Bay Area from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake,

and in a couple of papers I concluded that these bounces can give rise to a higher chance of triggered earthquakes/distant aftershocks. It'll be interesting to look at this sequence in detail.

Hi guys hi

Yes, it is very interesting and I can see it on the earthquake map.
In fact it looks like the halo is growing in all directions now. At first it looked like most of the energy was going south. But I see it spreading north now too. I am watching to see if we get a good sized one further south around Beatty.

I had never heard of it before either.

Very interesting...seems like something that would come up more often.

I can understand why they shorten it, though...lol.

HOLY CRAP HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!

What is going on in NV? Wow wow wow

I can't believe the swarm thats going on there. I have never seen anything like it.

Maybe explains some of the ear ringing I've been experiencing, who knows. Something is going on thats for sure.

Got the storm in the NE, storm(s) down in FL, NV quaking, Yellowstone getting a good shake, some big ones over on the other side of the Pacific plate....

Might be about time for all that pressure to pop that's been building up. Plus I thought there was a space event that was going to cause possible increase in EQ activity...can't remember if it was the sun or planet alignment or comet or what it was...too much going on.

I did find this though, stating the Ridgecrest earthquake will increase seismic hazards, posted 5/11/2020:

"Seismologists used a recently developed model to forecast aftershocks following the recent Ridgecrest earthquake sequence. Their findings revealed a short-term increase in seismic hazard in the region."

Wonder if the hazard would include NV
 Quoting: dyin


As far as the planetary stuff going on, you're probably thinking of this video I posted a day or two ago. He was definitely spot on stating larger activity would start on the 15th.

The same guy had also posted this yesterday, which I don't think I posted here


@ditrianum


Excited atmospheric signals within a 5 mV band since yesterday could be a sign of upcoming increased seismic activity.

As far as the aftershocks, they volume seems pretty normal to me for such a large, shallow quake.

Happy Friday everyone! hf

Hope things are good around here! Doing pretty good over here. Just needed to detach for a couple days to balance my energy levels. Slept quite bad a couple nights. Not sure why. Sun, Moon, other reasons.. Nothing wrong really.

And it didn't even make me tired, just a bit disoriented. Still had the feeling I could be awake for 72 hours or so, lol.

Anyway, keep your spirits up my friends! Much love to all of you.
