- Temblor's analysis of the July 2025 magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka quake explores some mysteries (a moderate tsunami, a curious eruption), and finds that the 10-day foreshock was exceptionally productive. temblor.net/earthquake-i...
- Around 11:30 am local time, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the offshore Kamchatka region at a depth of about 20 kilometers. The subduction zone quake caused severe shaking on the Kamchatka peninsula and triggered tsunami warnings and advisories around the Pacific. (1/n)
- This earthquake is among the strongest ever recorded, ranking in the top 10. On July 20, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake preceded the mainshock. Since then, 3 magnitude 6.6 earthquakes have occurred, as well as more than 50 events greater than or equal to magnitude 5, and dozens of smaller events. (2/n)
- After the mainshock, aftershocks commenced, including a magnitude 6.9 event. These earthquakes result from subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the westernmost part of the North American Plate (also known as the Okhotsk Plate). For more information, please visit the USGS event page. (3/end)
- Reposted by Temblor, Inc.Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America. By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪

- Reposted by Temblor, Inc.Last year, a paper in Science argued that there is a detectable ~2-hour-long period of slow slip before large earthquakes. In short: we might be able to provide short-term warnings before large earthquakes! But our analysis of the paper, published on our Substack, showed otherwise. 1/
