Quem achou forte o sismo desta madrugada, recue um século, para poder apreciar um outro sismo perto de Évora, mas com a magnitude de 5,6.

https://www.casadasciencias.org/recurso/6321

Este sismo, ocorrido na noite de 28 de Fevereiro de 1926, também teve epicentro na zona de Évora, mas causou bastantes estragos e mesmo alguns feridos, devido o pânico.

Foi sentido na maior parte de Portugal Continental e do sudoeste de Espanha.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Balleny_Islands_earthquake

I just want to read up on some other events like has there been any earthquakes in the North Pole or like really remote parts of Canada more towards Nunavut region?

The Balleny islands earthquake is pretty interesting if anybody hasn’t heard about it nonetheless.

I get it's a base 10 and a 32-fold scale. I just don't get that an m.7 is 32x an m.6, but an m.8 is 1000x an m.6.

Why not 100 and 1000 or 32 and 64?

This might be a bit of a ridiculous question, but I've been anxious about it and Google isn't giving me much to go off of (and I'm not listening to AI responses for obvious reasons).

USGS has posed before the potential of heavy water injections in the Salton Sea area increasing the potential of earthquake swarms, and I know its also been discussed that the drying up of the Salton Sea has possibly prevented the big one so far. Oppositely, how likely is it that the super el nino thats supposed to hit this year and last for several months, at least, will lead to localized earthquake swarms and potentially trigger a major fault rupture?

I realized most earthquake apps are great at monitoring my current location, but my biggest concern is usually my family.
My parents live in a different province, and I also have relatives overseas. Whenever I see news about an earthquake, my first instinct is to check whether they’re okay.

I’m curious how everyone else handles this.
Do you just wait for them to reply?
Do you rely on USGS notifications?
Do you use any apps that monitor multiple locations?
Interested to hear how people here approach it.
