full blog post with all the links you will need to monitor the global earthquake unrest: sincedutch.wordpress.com As always, be aware and prepared for these situations. Assess your area for the possible earthquake threats, make appropriate plans to deal with this. The entire globe has seen an uptick in earthquake activity along faultlines, and the more obscure "edges" of the cratons. Have food, water, communication, transportation, and a shelter plan (mobile and stationary). And remember to also have some form of self protection (defense).

The Pacific Ring of Fire (or sometimes just the Ring of Fire) is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40000 km (25000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. It is sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt or the circum-Pacific seismic belt. Eruption of Mount St. Helens on July 22, 1980.About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.

Updated: 05 Jan 2012

The 03/11/2011 earthquake (preliminary magnitude 8.9) near the east coast of Honshu, Japan, occurred as a result of thrust faulting on or near the subduction zone interface plate boundary between the Pacific and North America plates. At the latitude of this earthquake, the Pacific plate moves approximately westwards with respect to the North America plate at a velocity of 83 mm/yr. The Pacific plate thrusts underneath Japan at the Japan Trench, and dips to the west beneath Eurasia. The location, depth, and focal mechanism of the March 11 earthquake are consistent with the event having occurred as thrust faulting associated with subduction along this plate boundary. Note that some authors divide this region into several microplates that together define the relative motions between the larger Pacific, North America and Eurasia plates; these include the Okhotsk and Amur microplates that are respectively part of North America and Eurasia.

The 03/11/2011 earthquake (preliminary magnitude 8.9) near the east coast of Honshu, Japan, occurred as a result of thrust faulting on or near the subduction zone interface plate boundary between the Pacific and North America plates. At the latitude of this earthquake, the Pacific plate moves approximately westwards with respect to the North America plate at a velocity of 83 mm/yr. The Pacific plate thrusts underneath Japan at the Japan Trench, and dips to the west beneath Eurasia.

Updated: 07 May 2012

Juan De Fuca - 12-10-2011 - Transform faults are not limited to oceanic crust and spreading centers; many transform faults are located on continental margins. The best example is the San Andreas fault on the Pacific coast of the United States. The San Andreas Fault links the East Pacific Rise off of the West coast of Mexico (Gulf of California) to the Mendocino Triple Junction (Part of the Juan de Fuca plate) located off the coast of the North Western United States making it a ridge-to-transform style transform fault. The formation of the San Andreas Fault system occurred fairly recently during the Oligocene Period between 34 million and 24 million years ago. During this period, the Farallon plate, followed by the Pacific plate, collided into the North American plate. The collision led to the subduction of the Farallon plate underneath the North American plate. Once the spreading center separating the Pacific and Farallon plate was subducted underneath the North American plate, the San Andreas Continental Transform Fault system was created. en.wikipedia.org Hot-Topics 5.9 Magnitude Earthquake submarine volcano juan-de-fuca Strikes off Coast Oregon "US Near" Transform Fault line, plates, bounderies, subduction-zone, tectonics, strike-slip fault, mid-oceanic ridge, fracture-zones,

The magnitude 9.0 Tohoku earthquake on March 11, 2011, which occurred near the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan, resulted from thrust faulting on or near the subduction zone plate boundary between the Pacific and North America plates. At the latitude of this earthquake, the Pacific plate moves approximately westwards with respect to the North America plate at a rate of 83 mm/yr, and begins its westward descent beneath Japan at the Japan Trench. Note that some authors divide this region into several microplates that together define the relative motions between the larger Pacific, North America and Eurasia plates; these include the Okhotsk and Amur microplates that are respectively part of North America and Eurasia. The March 11 earthquake was preceded by a series of large foreshocks over the previous two days, beginning on March 9th with a M 7.2 event approximately 40 km from the epicenter of the March 11 earthquake, and continuing with another three earthquakes greater than M 6 on the same day.

Updated: 05 Jan 2013

The magnitude 7.2 Sierra El Mayor earthquake of Sunday April 4th 2010, occurred in northern Baja California, approximately 40 miles south of the Mexico-USA border at shallow depth along the principal plate boundary between the North American and Pacific plates. Two people killed and at least 233 injured in the Mexicali area. This is an area with a high level of historical seismicity, and also it has recently been seismically active, though this is the largest event to strike in this area since 1892. The 4 April earthquake appears to have been larger than the M 6.9 earthquake in 1940 or any of the early 20th century events (eg, 1915 and 1934) in this region of northern Baja California. At the latitude of the earthquake, the Pacific plate moves northwest with respect to the North America plate at about 1.8 inches per year. The principal plate boundary in northern Baja California consists of a series of northwest-trending strike-slip (transform) faults that are separated by pull-apart basins. The faults are distinct from, but parallel to, strands of the San Andreas fault system. The April 4 main-shock occurred along a strike-slip segment of the plate boundary that coincides with the southeastern part of the Laguna Salada fault system. It is a complex event that may have begun with east-down motion along faults on the eastern edge of the Sierra El Mayor, then progressed to the northwest with oblique slip, that is, a combination of lateral shift to the right and also east-down ...

2011-11-07 - ONE NEWS - VOLCANOES DRAGGED INTO TONGA TRENCH

Order: Reorder

Updated: 04 May 2012

Massive underwater volcanoes are slipping into a highly active fault line in the Pacific Ocean, but scientists are baffled as to what the affects of the phenomenon will be. Incredible new images reveal how tectonic action is dragging huge volcanoes into the Tonga Trench, a fault line which runs north from New Zealand towards Tonga and Samoa, BBC reported. There are frequent earthquakes in the area and scientists are struggling to understand whether the destruction of the volcanoes increases the risk of a tsunami. The images, which were taken on a research expedition last year, show how the earth's crust is moving west when the Pacific plate collides with the Indo-Australian plate. The trench, which is 10.9km and the second deepest stretch of seabed in the world, is dotted with volcanoes. The images show how the giant volcanoes are moving up to 6 centimetres a year, and are collapsing into the chasm. Scientists first thought that the phenomenon would cause catastrophic earthquakes, but now believe that earthquakes are less frequent where the volcanoes enter the trench. "When you see size of these features you'd think they'd cause massive earthquakes and disruption - and that was our starting hypothesis," Professor Tony Watts of Oxford University said.

San Andreas Fault near Gorman

Paleoseismic excavations near Gorman, California. South of the area referred to as the "Big Bend" by geologists that know and study the San Andreas Fault. North the of here the fault takes a significant turn, orienting itself east / west before resuming it's course north of the transverse mountain ranges - large tectonic blocks rotating retrograde to the north bound motion of the Pacific Plate and "marching" toward the Pacific Ocean. This segment of the San Andreas last experienced an event of magnitude 7.0+ with the Fort Tejon Quake of 1857. Discontinuities in what are normally regular depositional layers reveal historic seismic disturbances. The intervals between those irregularities would tell you how frequently large quakes of Mag. 7.0 or greater have occurred. The data is a little unnerving. The Fault is traced south from here by a series of lakes and marshy depressions - sag ponds. And at this junction it meets the other large fault in California, The Garlock, running northwest across the southeast boundary of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
