New York And New Jersey Hit With Strongest Quake In The Region In 100-Years (Video)

New York And New Jersey Hit With Strongest Quake In The Region In 100-Years (Video)

April 8. 2024

On Friday, April 5, 2024, a large 4.8 earthquake hit New York and New Jersey. It was also felt in Maine, Connecticut and Massachusetts. It was the biggest such quake to hit the region in over 100-years. There was also an aftershock that distressed the public. No deaths were reported, but there was property damage. Planes were grounded in New York and New Jersey. This event was abnormal and has alarmed many people, as it is an unusual development. There is a massive problem occurring on the North American Plate.

Previously on the site I wrote about changes in the climate that will produce record subsidence, flooding, and intensify earthquakes and hurricanes. Since that time it has begun happening (The Northeast In America Hit With Unprecedented Rainfall Leading To Death And Record Property Loss Confirming Previous Site Claims (Video) and West Point, New York Experiences Record Rainfall That Washes Away Buildings, Roads And Land (Videos)). New York, among other places, is in peril. It is a perfect storm of problems.

Long-term patterns of earthquakes influenced by climate change: Insights from earthquake recurrence and stress field changes across the Korean Peninsula during interglacial periods

Quaternary Science Reviews | Volume 321, 1 December 2023, 108369

The paleo-earthquakes within each of the fault zones (Keumwang, Wangsukcheon, Yangsan, and Ulsan) on the Korean Peninsula exhibit quasiperiodic patterns, having a periodicity of approximately 100 kyr. The periodicity of paleo-earthquakes on the Korean Peninsula coincides with the interglacial periods associated with marine isotope stages 15, 13, 11, 9, and 7. Long-term changes in differential stress, induced by sea-level rise, have played a significant role in triggering Quaternary fault activity on the Korean Peninsula.

Abstract

This study examined the temporal patterns of paleo-earthquake recurrences on the Korean Peninsula, situated near the Eurasian Plate boundary, by using electron spin resonance (ESR) dating to ascertain the ages at which fault gouge patches were reactivated. The findings reveal that the paleo-earthquakes in each of the fault zones (Keumwang, southern part of Wangsukcheon, Yangsan, and Ulsan) display quasiperiodic patterns. The observed patterns align with a time-dependent earthquake recurrence model. A periodicity of approximately 100 kyr could represent a regional baseline for fault activity. Over the past 650 kyr, the periodicity of paleo-earthquakes has coincided with the interglacial periods of marine isotope stages (MIS) 15, 13, 11, 9, and 7. On the Korean Peninsula, it is hypothesized that long-term differential stress changes, resulting from sea-level rises in the Pacific Ocean, have played a significant role in driving Quaternary fault activities during these interglacial stages. Consequently, this study suggests that the ongoing global warming trend could potentially increase the earthquake frequency on the Korean Peninsula...
