quote:'Aardbeving kan 1.000 kilometer verderop naschokken veroorzaken'
Aardbevingen kunnen naschokken veroorzaken in gebieden die honderden kilometers van het epicentrum af liggen, zo blijkt uit een nieuwe studie.
Specifieke seismische golven in de aardkorst die ontstaan bij een aardbeving kunnen breuklijnen tot in de verre omgeving instabiel maken.
Daardoor kunnen er tot op ongeveer duizend kilometer afstand van het epicentrum aardplaten uit elkaar gaan bewegen, zodat er nieuwe bevingen ontstaan.
Dat melden onderzoekers van de Universiteit van Napels in het wetenschappelijk tijdschrift Physical Review Letters.
Energie
Wetenschappers vermoedden al langer dat aardbevingen kunnen zorgen voor naschokken in gebieden die relatief ver van de rampplek af liggen. Dat gebeurde bijvoorbeeld na zware aardbevingen in Japan in 2011 en in Chili in 2014.
De Italiaanse wetenschappers besloten een computermodel te ontwikkelen om meer inzicht te krijgen in de processen die dit soort naschokken veroorzaken.
“We vroegen ons af: hoe kan een seismisch golfje met een kleine amplitude een aardbeving veroorzaken die zich duizend kilometer van het epicentrum voltrekt", aldus hoofdonderzoekster Lucilla de Arcangelis op nieuwssite New Scientist.
Toeval
Uit de simulatie blijkt dat vooral de frequentie van seismische golven een grote rol speelt bij het ontstaan van de 'verre' naschokken. Elke breuklijn is volgens hoofdonderzoekster De Arcangelis door de vorm en ligging gevoelig voor een seismische golf met een bepaalde frequentie.
"Als er toevallig een signaal binnenkomt met deze frequentie, is er een verhoogd risico dat deze breuklijn een aardbeving zal ontketenen", verklaart ze.
Waarschijnlijk zorgen de specifieke seismische golven voor trillingen van minieme stukjes rots in de breuklijnen. Deze vibraties verminderen de wrijving tussen de aardplaten aan weerszijden van de breuklijn en verhogen daardoor de kans dat ze uit elkaar gaan bewegen, zodat er een beving ontstaat.

quote:Scientist: Mega quake will rip apart American continents
LONDON: A London-educated nuclear engineer has claimed North and South America will “split” and mega tsunamis could “strike America and Asia killing 40 million people” in a mega earthquake he described as imminent.
Ahead of the drills across America and Canada on emergency response to a major earthquake, Dr Mehran Keshe, who studied nuclear engineering at the University of London, released videos claiming a mega quake with the power to kill up to 20 million people on the west coast of the USA alone is on the cards, a media report said.
While there is no scientific or official support for Dr Keshe’s claims some subscribers to his ideas suggest his “mega quake” could happen as soon as Saturday, October 17 (tomorrow).
In a video presentation filmed last month, he marked on a map of north and south America the site of three earthquakes measuring magnitude 6.6 to 6.9, three at the Panama Strait, and an 8.3-level quake which hit Chile on September 16 claiming at least 10 lives.
He said: “The South American continent is the starting point of the weakness. There will be earthquakes of 10 to 16 here and in one location 20 to 24.”
Dr Keshe claimed up to 20 million people would perish along the west coast in north and South America, but the southern hemisphere continent would be worst affected as it split from the north.
He said: “This is not scaremongering, but what we have seen in the past seven days, we have never seen these kind of earthquakes in the past in these zones in such a sequence.
“There will be a number of series of earthquakes in north China in coming months.”
According to Iran-born Dr Keshe Mexico and the Mexican Gulf will be destroyed, creating huge tsunamis. “Japan and China will have the same huge losses and there will be huge losses in the Caribbean.”
Although the predicted devastation would be like nothing the world had ever seen, Dr Keshe claims it would ultimately bring world peace.
He said: “The world economy will collapse. The banking order will not support such a disaster. I hope it will not happen this way but this is what I know it is inevitable the continental break up is inevitable.”

NEW DELHI: The sea around the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago has witnessed 12 earthquakes in 24 hours, with almost all measuring 5 and more on the Richter scale, but no tsunami alert has been issued.
The region yesterday saw nine quakes, of these, one was recorded in North Sumatra region in Indonesia while others have been recorded in and around the Andaman and Nicobar islands.
According to the National Seismological Division, a body under the Ministry of Earth Science that tracks seismic activities, three jolts were recorded today which measured 4.9, 5.1 and 4.9 respectively on the Richter scale.
All earthquakes were recorded at a depth of 10-60 kms.
The area around the Andaman and Nicobar islands and the Indonesian archipelago is known to be a high seismic zone and often records tremors.
This is also the region which witnessed massive quake in 2004 that resulted in tsunami killing thousands across India, Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka.
Prof Kusalaraj, a scientist at the Centre for Earth Science at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, said this may the result of 2004 earthquake as the some "adjustments" keep happening beneath, years after a major quake strikes a region.
She also cited that adjustments could still be seen happening in Chile and Alaska when two major earthquakes struck in 1960s.
"The Andaman-Sumatra subduction zone has been experiencing an earthquake swarm activity starting on November 8 extending on to November 9. The activity seems to be a byproduct of the India-Eurasia convergence along the Sunda trench. Although such swarms are rare, them happening during the relaxation phase of a great earthquake (2004) is not very surprising. I do not see any big concern.
"The swarm is seen to be growing north of Sumatra and south of the Nicobar Islands. The largest of the events (6.4) occurred on November 8, following which the events have been lower in magnitude," Kusalaraj said.

quote:Alarming discovery: Bay Area most dangerous faults may be connected
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Scientists have discovered an alarming connection underwater: Two of the most dangerous earthquake faults in the Bay Area.
Experts long debated whether the Hayward Fault and the Rodgers Creek Fault connected, but now there’s strong evidence they do.
US Geological geophysicist Janet Watt made the discovery in an underwater survey using an acoustic instrument over the San Pablo Bay. She says the data is clearer than ever.
“We now have direct evidence that the faults come closer together in the bay and may be directly connected,” says Watt. “It would be devastating for an earthquake to rupture at both those faults — it’d be a very strong earthquake.”
Two Bay Area fault lines could potentially trigger a 7.3 magnitude earthquake if they ruptured together. That’s stronger than the 1989 Loma Prieta quake.

“If these two faults are connected then that means it would be easier for an earthquake to rupture from the Hayward to Rodgers or vice versa,” says Watt.
Old maps showed a gap of at least 2.5 miles between the faults. Watt says the 60-mile long Hayward Fault, which runs from San Pablo Bay to Alum Rock, and the 39-mile Rodgers Creek Fault that runs from San Pablo Bay to Healdsburg, are likely linked by a strand.
LOMA PRIETA STRIKES (1989)
Watt’s discovery may help determine whether a big quake is ahead of us. After all, the Hayward Fault is the most populated fault in the world. A 7.3 magnitude quake would be devastating.
“People in the Bay Area just need to be prepared that they live in earthquake country,” she said.
Now scientists will work to confirm the new data. Watt’s survey will go from underwater to land to see if there is a connection above ground, as well.
quote:8.2 magnitude earthquake could hit Himalayas soon
New Delhi: MHA experts have warned that earthquakes with a magnitude of 8.0 or more on the Richter scale are likely to hit the Himalayan region.
According to a Times of India report, expert say quakes with higher intensity than the one that struck Manipur on Monday are likely to rock the region in future. The tectonic shift a series of these recent earthquakes have caused in the region — Manipur 6.7 (Jan 2016), Nepal 7.3 (May 2015) and Sikkim 6.9 (2011) — have re-ruptured the plates that had already developed cracks during previous temblors. This has led to conditions which might trigger multiple earthquakes which may go up to 8.0 in magnitude.
Over the past 200 years there have been at least seven major earthquakes in the Himalayan belt – Nepal in 1803, 1833 and 1934; Shillong in 1897; Kangra in Himachal Pradesh in 1905; Assam in 1950; and Kashmir in 2005. In addition, earth scientists have been able to learn about historical earthquakes by using old or paleo-seismological evidences.
Speaking to TOI, NIDM director Santosh Kumar said the interconnected plates across Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and India pose a bigger danger, and predicted a disaster of bigger magnitude that awaits hill states and parts of Bihar, UP and even Delhi which fall under the second worst seismic Zone IV classification. The North-East and other hill states fall under severe seismic Zone V.
The report quotes Roger Bilham, the seismologist of University of Colorado and an authority on the subject, saying “the current conditions might trigger at least four earthquakes greater than 8.0 in magnitude. And if they delay, the strain accumulated during the centuries provokes more catastrophic mega earthquakes.”
During an earthquake, subsurface soil is liquefied because of a change in the ambient stress conditions. Evidence of this liquefaction and deformation of sediments caused by the earthquake is obtained by digging trenches and collecting soil/sediment samples. The organic matters like peat etc., found in these sediments, can be dated by radioactive carbon or cosmogenic isotopes to ascertain the time of occurrence of the quake. Using this technique it has been possible to infer the occurrences of major earthquakes in the Himalayas in 1125, 1400, 1505 and 1555.
The Himalayas are one of the youngest and most active mountain belts in the world. The range had resulted from the collision between India and Tibet (Eurasia) around 50 million years ago. The process of convergence continues today with the Indian plate diving beneath the Eurasian plate at a steady rate of ~2 cm/year.
Although the rate is very slow, the process has been continuing steadily over centuries, resulting in accumulation of stresses in subsurface rocks. Once the stress overcomes the frictional barrier within the rock, it ruptures (along a fault) and blocks on either side of the fault slips past each other in a flash, resulting in release of enormous energy.
Part of the energy gets converted into elastic waves, which in turn causes vibration that propagates through the ground. If the vibrations are strong enough, they can cause tremendous destruction. The whole of the Himalayas have several such faults. Our study suggests that the fault across which the current slips occurred is the Main Himalayan Thrust or MHT.

Rabat (AFP) - A strong 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck early Monday in the Mediterranean between Morocco and Spain, the US Geological Survey said.
It was followed by a 5.3-magnitude tremor.
In its initial assessment of the quake's impact, the USGS said there was "a low likelihood of casualties and damage".
Tremors were felt in the south of Spain and in the Spanish enclave of Melilla bordering Morocco, but the authorities reported no victims.
"For the moment there has been only material damage and we haven't detected any that is very serious," Isidro Gonzalez, a Melilla official, told Cadena Ser radio.
"Some high buildings have cracks," he said, adding that part of facades and balconies had collapsed.
Authorities in Melilla have decided to keep schools closed as a precautionary measure to review the state of the buildings.
In the Malaga area in southern Spain, on the other side of the Strait of Gibraltar, many inhabitants also felt the earthquake.
In February 2004 a strong 6.3 earthquake that hit near Al Hoceima killed nearly 630 people.

Cliffs have collapsed in New Zealand during an earthquake in the city of Christchurch on the South Island.
No serious damage or fatalities were reported in the Valentine's Day quake that struck at 13:13 local time (00.13 GMT).
Beaches to the east of Christchurch were busy with swimmers and surfers when rocks began to fall into the sea.
The 5.7 magnitude quake occurred days before the anniversary of a deadly one in 2011.
That destroyed the city centre and killed 185 people.
New Zealand lies on the notorious Ring of Fire, the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim.
The earthquake, classified as severe, lasted less than 30 seconds
New Zealand's seismological body GNS Science classified Sunday's earthquake as "severe", recording that it took place at a depth of 15km (nine miles) and 15km to the east of the city.
Resident Stephen O'Dwyer said he was on the beach with his wife walking their dog when the cliff in Sumner started to collapse.
"The ground started to go soft. Water was coming up under the sand and people were sinking down to the ankles as the ground went soft. It shook for about 20 seconds," he told the BBC.
The quake sent large clouds of dust billowing over the suburb.
The cliff that collapsed was in the coastal suburb of Sumner
"I have to say that it was business as usual 15 minutes after the fact," said local Richard Loffhagen, who took a photograph of the dust and debris rising from Scarborough Beach.
During the tremor, which was reportedly felt across the South Island, some shops in Christchurch were evacuated and photos on social media showed items that had fallen off shelves.
A Polish couple posted a clip on YouTube showing the cracks their house suffered, saying it was their first experience of an earthquake in Christchurch and they had not expected it to be so intense.
