I am an undergraduate student with a passion for earth sciences and physics, with a particularly strong interest in seismology.
A M6.5 earthquake struck near Acapulco, Mexico today, triggering warning systems and causing tall buildings in Mexico City to sway. How does this event fit into the larger tectonic picture - and what kinds of earthquakes might we expect here?

Also: what happened in the earthquake, and why did it trigger a tsunami evacuation, with alerts of waves “up to 3 meters high”?

Plane shallow dipping to the East (strike 179) shown.
Rupt very concentrated around the hypocenter, far from and much deeper than the trench.

A satellite took a picture of the tsunami as it crossed the ocean! And other things we’ve learned about the M8.8 Kamchatka earthquake - the sixth large earthquake ever recorded.

With 13 of them, I can’t make a proper three-tier pyramid, so I’m always stuck wondering how to stack them…

What do we know about the M8.8 earthquake that struck offshore Russia yesterday? We explore patterns in the foreshocks and aftershocks, compare the USGS seismic catalog with a local seismic database, and compare the event to the great 1952 earthquake.

A M7.4 earthquake struck yesterday beneath the treacherous waters of the Drake Passage. The quake triggered a tsunami and dozens of aftershocks.
There is a baby tectonic plate here, sandwiched between South America and Antarctica. How did it get here, and what does that mean for earthquakes?

A M7.4 earthquake just occurred off the southern tip of South America: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
Based on the magnitude, location, and type of slip, there is a potential tsunami threat to the coasts of Chile: tsunami.gov/events/PHEB/...
