En Chile un #sismo #temblor es de:
- Menor intensidad (hasta MM IV)
- Mediana intensidad ( MM V - MM VI )
- Mayor intensidad ( MM VII o superior )
Se adjunta tabla según norma NCh3-61
#sismo #temblor
Las calderas que en estos momentos tienen sismicidad interesante y deformación constante son:
- Laguna del Maule (Chile)
- Campi Flegrei (Italia)
y ahora, #Yellowstone (USA) con un M3.9 a 800m de profundidad focal
Alguna otra que falte por mencionar?

Mw8.6 earthquake near Unimak Is. (Alaska) ruptured a segment of the Aleutian megathrust. A tsunami killed 173 people, 159 of them in Hawaii. This EQ led to the creation of the Pacific Tsunami Warning System.

New platform, same passion! 🌋 Just landed on Bluesky and it's time to repopulate my feed—starting with some 'vintage' research! Throwback to our 2024 paper on anisotropic #seismictomography of #EtnaVolcano, unraveling its complex dynamics. Still a hot topic!🔥

The Feb 27, 2010, M 8.8 Bio-Bio, Chile, #earthquake was caused by shallow thrust faulting along the Nazca and South America plates converging at 71 mm/yr. The fault rupture, over 100 km wide and nearly 500 km long, spread from 25 km deep, causing severe shaking and a tsunami. (1/3) #OTD ⚒🧪

MAJOR SPLIT-TYPE SUDDEN STRATOSPHERIC WARMING IN THE 06Z GFS! 🚨 🤯

Ok, it's at 330 hours, and it's just one member, so this is not a forecast.

BUT, it's inescapable that forecasts are now drifting toward a weaker vortex, consistent with strong wave forcing from the Scandinavia-Greenland pattern.

A M5.8 (local confirmation); M5 .1 USGS. It occurred in Guayaquil-ECU at a depth of 84km and was an interplate EQ. It was a strong tremor due to its depth and epicenter.
Also, I was at the epicenter and I confirm that it was strong as it was interplate and the first +M5 in Ecuador-2025

4.5 billion years ago or so, a planet the size of Mars slammed into Earth and the debris that splashed out eventuially coalesced to form the Moon.

…or did it?

… well, yeah, probably. But a new paper posits Earth-sized planets can capture moons.

Is it possible Earth captured the Moon?
Maaaaaaybe. The Giant Impact hypothesis still reigns, but it’s worth looking at other ideas

Thank you, President Carter.

Rest in peace.

A short thread on President Carter and energy. 👇 💡🔌
Happy 100th birthday to President Carter, who started the Department of Energy, and started the Solar Energy Research Institute (which later became NREL). Today we are reaping the rewards of cheap solar, wind, and batteries because of the investments President Carter made.

What happens in China never just stays in China. There is a surge in influenza A in the U.S. as well this winter. We rarely test whether the virus is conventional flu, or H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu. But the crowded ERs seen in many places are indications something is afoot. 🧵
