Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated*5.4 Japan*5.2 Gulf of California*5.2 Southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge ~ Pg 20426

Days after a 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked Puerto Rico, followed by hundreds of aftershocks, the full extent of damage is only beginning to be realized.

NASA scientists are using satellite data to help federal and local agencies identify areas with potential damage. Earthquakes cause permanent changes to the ground surface. By comparing interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data acquired on Jan. 9, 2020, with data acquired on Dec. 28, 2019, from the Copernicus Sentinel-1A
satellite, the scientists were able to map where, how much and in what direction those changes occurred.

Managed by the European Space Agency (ESA), the Copernicus Sentinel-1A satellite was able to see the eastern two-thirds of the island during the Jan. 9 flyover. On the map, red indicates areas where the ground was changed, or displaced, with darker shades corresponding to more significant displacement. The scientists found that the greatest
displacement from the flyover area occurred west of the city of Ponce (identified by the green star), not far from the quake's offshore epicenter. They recorded up to 5.5 inches (14 centimeters) of ground change there. The ground appeared to shift downward and slightly to the west.

@DrWendyRocks

Dr. Wendy Bohon Retweeted USGS

Puerto Rico just had a M6.0 aftershock. The @USGS aftershock forecast from yesterday gave an #earthquake of this magnitude a 16% chance of occurring. This was that small chance.

@USGS
New aftershock scenario forecast indicates 84% chance that no more large earthquakes (>M 6.0) will occur in Puerto Rico over next 30-days. Moderate (M 5.0+) and light shaking (M 3.0+) still likely. Read more in our Top Story: [link to ow.ly]
