Western Türkiye was struck by a M6 earthquake today: a triggered event, in a larger sequence that started in August with a M6.1. Both events were damaging, and the sequence raises questions about earthquake triggering, and what to expect.

A catastrophic M7.7 earthquake struck Myanmar today, rupturing ~200 km of the strike-slip Sagaing Fault.

The USGS PAGER alert is red, indicating severe damage and many fatalities. Impacts extend from Myanmar into neighboring countries, including Thailand.

A historical seismicity map shows several #earthquakes of similar size to today’s M7.7 in Myanmar occurred in the region in the early 20th century, but this section of the Sagaing fault probably hasn’t ruptured since 1839 🧪⚒️

The USGS already released a shakemap for the M7.7 #earthquake in Myanmar a few minutes ago. This will be devastating. ⚒️🧪

It’s #Tsunami Awareness Week! Tsunami are a series of powerful waves often caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides. As tsunami waves approach the shore they build in size, their currents intensify & they become a threat to life & property. Go to tsunami.ca.gov for more info. 🧪 1/

A swarm of earthquakes has been rattling the Greek islands. Today marked the largest event in the swarm so far (M5.1). Schools are closed and emergency crews have deployed.

Could the swarm trigger a really big earthquake, like the M7.8 in 1956?
