Quake In Eastern DR Congo Kills TwoTwo people were killed on Friday when a mild earthquake shook a city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, according to an early toll, a regional official said. The quake, whose epicentre was in neighbouring Rwanda, had a magnitude of 4.8, monitors said. It rattled homes in Bukavu, the main town in South Kivu province. [ link to reliefweb.int] UPDATE:DRC: At least 6 dead in 4.8 magnitude earthquake in Bukavu
At least 6 people have been killed and several wounded after a 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Friday evening. The earthquake struck at exactly 17:11 GMT at the town in the South Kivu region near the border with Rwanda, according to the United States Geological Survey. Africanews correspondent in the country, Gael Mpoyo, reported that there was an earlier quake of 4.5 magnitude on the Richter scale an hour earlier. Also, an aftershock was felt Saturday morning at 03:20 GMT. [ link to www.africanews.com] Quoting: Spirit Warrior >3 |

DEEP FOCUS earthquakes or “intra plate” earthquakes, occur within the sub-ducting oceanic plates as they move beneath the continental plates. Appearing along fault lines, these are earthquakes with focus much deeper within the earth. A deep focus earthquake occurs when two tectonic plates slide towards one another followed by subduction, or when the mineral olivine is in a transitional phase.These are typical of the subduction zone of the earth which are seismically active zones, often existing in patterns as in Wadati-Benioff zones. They happen as huge quakes with larger magnitudes, as a great deal of energy is released with the forceful collision of the plates. The mechanics of these earthquakes have puzzled geophysicists, as brittle fracture and frictional sliding at depths exceeding 100-200 km would require great rock strengths which does not see m possible because of the high temperatures in such zones. They are believed to be associated with a catastrophic phase change as large portions of slab or slab-entrained material convert from spinal structure to a more compact perovskite structure [ link to www.actforlibraries.org] hold on |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71433356 United States 09/24/2016 07:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated After investigating seismic waves observed during the earthquake in the Sea of Okhotsk, the researchers found the initial quake triggered four other powerful shocks, one of magnitude 7.8, one of magnitude 8.0 and two of magnitude 7.9. The scientists calculated that the pressure front from the initial earthquake sped outward at about 9,000 mph (14,400 kph), which set off three of the four shocks in a line south of the initial quake. One of these three shocks released a pressure front northward, triggering a fourth shock. All in all, the entire sequence of earthquakes happened in just 30 seconds, with most of the energy released by the four major shocks. In contrast, similar earthquake swarms that occur near the surface can take hours or days to finish, and would likely include a large number of small aftershocks. This suggests deep earthquakes are likely more efficient in dissipating stress than are shallow ones, the investigators said. [ link to www.scientificamerican.com] |
