Rare 4.1-Magnitude Earthquake Hits Johor Seismic Truth They Don’t Tell You
Early Morning Quake in Johor Bahru On Sunday, Aug 24, the usually calm Malaysian state of Johor woke up to an unusual natural event. At exactly 6.15am, a 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck 5km west of Segamat at a depth of 10km, according to the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia). In a Facebook post, the department said the…
31st Volcano Blast in Hawaii! Is Kīlauea About to Explode Again?
A Closer Look at Kīlauea’s Latest Fury I’ve spent years in Hilo observing Hawaiian volcanic activity from up-close. This Friday, the Kilauea volcano in HONOLULU, Hawaii unleashed its 31st eruption since December, and I felt a familiar thrill in my chest. From the summit crater floor, lava flew in an arc nearly 100 feet (30…
Underwater Volcano “Axial Seamount” Near Oregon: 1,000 Tremors a Day, Eruption Soon?
The Ocean’s Restless Giant: A Live Laboratory Imagine a place nearly a mile deep, where the seafloor is constantly shaking. This isn’t a sci-fi scene; it’s real life at Axial Seamount. Located about 300 miles off the coast of Astoria, Oregon, this underwater volcano is putting on a dramatic act. Right now, it’s recording over 1,000 tiny quakes every day—a hidden drumbeat that is louder and faster than we’ve seen in recent memory. Having studied these patterns for years, I can tell you this activity is one of the clearest calm-before-the-storm signals we’ve ever recorded. Decoding the…
Brisbane Trembles as Rare 5.6 Earthquake Rocks Australia!
When the Ground Roared: Queensland’s Seismic Shock Last Saturday at 9.49am, millions of Queenslanders felt their world shift. Geoscience Australia confirmed a magnitude 5.6 earthquake—the largest onshore event in 50 years. Centered in a remote area near Goomeri, northwest of the Sunshine Coast, its shallow depth of 2km amplified the impact. Brisbane residents 200 kilometres away described intense vibrations lasting 7 to 10 seconds. As a seismology researcher, I’ve analyzed quakes worldwide, but the seismic chaos in southeast Queensland felt uniquely jarring—like nature’s unexpected roar tearing through our rarely-seismic state. Tremors rippled across Cairns, Sydney, and Glen Innes in New South Wales, with 12,500 felt reports flooding Geoscience Australia’s Earthquakes web page. Lucinda Ross in Kilkivan (just 80 kilometres from…
Taal Volcano Logs 31 Quakes, 30 Tremors in Past 24 Hours Alert Level Raised
The Immediate Surge: Tracking Taal’s Restlessness Standing near the shores of Batangas last Wednesday, I felt the ground hum – a sensation veteran volcanologists recognize instantly. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) confirmed my unease in their morning bulletin: 31 volcanic earthquakes recorded in the past 24 hours, accompanied by 30 volcanic tremors. One tremor lasted precisely one minute – long enough to make my coffee ripple in…
750 Mystery Quakes Shake Canary Islands in Just Hours – Scientists Stunned by Teide’s Unrest!
The Hidden Symphony Beneath Tenerife During the dead hours of August 6 and 7, 2025, I watched our seismic monitors flicker like frantic fireflies. Beneath Tenerife’s sleeping landscape, 750 earthquakes rattled the depths of the Teide–Pico Viejo volcanic complex—a phenomenon that unfolded in just 11-hour. As a scientist who’s stood on Pico Viejo’s rim during the 2016 unrest, this extraordinary swarm felt like the volcano’s heart breathes deeply. Two distinct clusters erupted: First, 55 volcano-tectonic quakes between 21:30 LT and 00:10 LT, concentrated at 8–14 km beneath the southwestern flank. Scientists call this fracturing of brittle rock—maximum magnitude 1.5. Then, at 02:00 UTC, a second burst: over 700 hybrid-type events by 07:30 UTC, characterized by very low magnitudes (below 1). These tremors, undetectable to locals, whisper of fluids (magmatic gases or hydrothermal waters) squeezing through cracks. Itahiza Domínguez, director of IGN, later confirmed…
3.9 Earthquake Yellowstone Danger Level
When the Ground Spoke: Decoding Yellowstone’s Seismic Whisper That evening on July 26, 2025, I was monitoring seismic readings when the waveforms spiked—approximately 6:00 p.m. MST (8:00 p.m. EST). Yellowstone had trembled with a magnitude 3.9 quake near Norris Geyser Basin. Having studied this volcanic region for years, I rushed to check station locations. The epicenter, pinpointed at the junction of multiple faults, showed depth between 5–10 km—classic shallow tectonic adjustments. Park-goers described gentle shaking under their feet, like a thriller movie rumble. One visitor near steamy geothermal pools told me:…
kamchatka 7.4 quake tsunami risk
Timeline of the Seismic Event On Sunday, July 20, 2025, at 7:48 AM EDT (CBS/AP), powerful undersea earthquakes struck Russia’s Pacific coast. The strongest quake, magnitude 7.4, hit 144 kilometers (89 miles) east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky—a city of 180,000 population—at a depth of 20 kilometers (12 miles) (U.S. Geological Survey). Minutes earlier, a smaller 6.7 magnitude tremor rattled the same east coast (GFZ data). Russian state media cited local geologists reporting two dozen aftershocks, though their strength was receding. Residents felt tremors for a minute, causing people to run from buildings (TASS news agency). Tsunami Alerts and Emergency Actions The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) initially warned of major waves, triggering danger protocols. Russia’s Emergencies Ministry urged coastal settlements to move 2-3 kilometres inland or seek elevations of 30-40 metres. Hawaii also received a tsunami watch (U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center), later cancelled. Despite fears of 60 cm waves near the regional capital, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the threat ended within two hours later. MOSCOW’s emergency services lifted all alerts after confirming no reports of casualties or damage. Local services shifted to high alert, with specialists preparing examination of structures (Main Department, Ministry of Emergency Situations). Historical Context and Scientific Insights This evoked backstory from Nov. 4, 1952, when a 9.0 magnitude quake near Kamchatka Peninsula triggered 9.1-meter (30-foot) waves in Hawaii—causing damage but no deaths….
campi flegrei 4.0 quake tourist safety tips
The Morning Everything Shook Living near Vesuvius, you grow used to rumbles, but today was different. At 9:14 AM (or 9.14am if you check Italian media), a strong tremor hit—magnitude 4.0. I was sipping coffee in Vomero when the earth shakes began. My wardrobe moved violently, and a loud, clear boom echoed. Across Naples, panic surged. Residents in historic center, Ponticelli, Capodichino, and Secondigliano flooded the streets. Social media exploded: “Terrifying!” wrote one; “Whole building shaking!” another. The epicenter? Just 3 km deep in Pozzuoli’s Dazio area, part of…
