January 27, 2013 – SOUTH POLE - Today, three earthquakes struck along the southernmost region of the planet, known as the Southern East Pacific Rise. The SEPR lies north of Antarctica. The SEPR quakes occurred in succession, following two moderate 4.7 magnitude earthquakes, which struck east of Bristol Island, near the Sandwich Islands- also north of Antarctica. The East Pacific Rise is a mid-oceanic ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Pacific Ocean. It separates the Pacific Plate to the west from (north to south) the North American Plate, the Rivera Plate, the Cocos Plate, the Nazca Plate, and the Antarctic Plate.
It runs from an undefined point near Antarctica in the south northward to its termination at the northern end of the Gulf of California in the Salton Sea basin in southern California. The oceanic crust is moving away from the East Pacific Rise to either side at a rate of 70mm/year. The series of earthquakes today ranged in magnitude instensity of from 5.2 to 4.7. We’re seeing more signs of growing tension along tectonic plates in the Ring of Fire. Stay tuned… –The Extinction Protocol
Guam earthquake goes unreported: An earthquake that shook the island just before 8am Monday morning has not been reported by the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake gently shook buildings throughout the island, but caused no reported damage or injuries. The magnitude of the earthquake is unclear because the USGS website, which normally records and reports earthquakes throughout the world, did not report this temblor. It’s not clear why the earthquake was unreported, but it’s not the first time. Last year, a similarly mild earthquake went unreported by the USGS. Email inquires to the Western Regional Office of the USGS have not been answered. -PNC
