An #earthquake of magnitude Mw 7.4 struck offshore #Mindanao island, #Philippines.
Both hypocentral depth (~60km) and mechanism (thrusting) suggest a rupture on, or near the subduction #megathrust which allows the Philippines oceanic plate to plunge westward under the islands. ⚒️ 🧪

We drilled deep under the sea to learn more about mega-earthquakes and tsunamis

Sleeping giants may awaken after the Krasheninnikov eruption.
EVEN MORE VOLCANOES ARE POPPING!

This water surface roughness visualisation of the #Copernicus #Sentinel1 data acquired over 7 hours over the #megathrust #earthquake shows how complex tsunami wave field is 🤯

Have prior #megathrust #earthquakes in region caused topographic changes, say uplift, along parts of Kamchatka Peninsula ?

#Kuril #earthquake sequence 2006-2009 👇. #Megathrust #earthquakes encircled in yellow, outer-rise events in green. Majority of outer-rises are extensional and shallow. But a compressional one happened deeper. Bending of oceanic crust explains these mechanisms.

It appears that the Mw8.8 of yesterday triggers outer-rise extensional #earthquakes 👇.
Outer-rise earthquakes break the oceanic plate seaward from the trench. They may be large. Little more south, the Mw8.1 of Jan 2007 (outer-rise) followed the Nov 2006 Mw8.3 #Kuril #megathrust #earthquake. ⚒️ 1/2

It appears that the magnitude 7.4 #earthquake of the 20th of July was a foreshock for the Mw 8.7 to 8.8 of today offshore #Kamchatka.
Both seem to have broken the #megathrust where the Pacific oceanic plate subducts under Asia.

🌊 Japan faces a silent giant! The Nankai Trough could unleash a colossal earthquake & tsunami within 30 years. A breathtaking, yet daunting, power of nature! 😮 #megathrust

A magnitude 6.8 foreshock followed by a magnitude 7.4 #earthquake 20 minutes later, offshore #Kamchatka.
Shallow hypocentral depths and thrust mechanisms point to a rupture on the #subduction #megathrust. ⚒️ 🧪
