 12-17-09 6.3 Lisboa...Quote: (1) An earthquake hit Spain and Portugal Thursday night at around 2:3am, with a strength of 6.3 on the Richter scale. The earthquake originated about 100 kilometers southwest of Cape St. Vincent in the atlantic Ocean, at a depth of 58 kilometers, according to Spain’s seismological institute and National Geographic Institute. The earthquake was felt in Sevilla, Cadiz, Malaga, Cordoba, Huelva as well as other cities across Andalucia and Portugal. According to the Spanish media there have been no casualties or damages. The emergency lines in Spain received over 450 calls until 6am Thursday morning, out of them 282 from Sevilla and 176 from Huelva. The US Geological Survey recorded the quake at 5.7 magnitude on its different moment magnitude scale. It said the quake struck at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers. Various reports also confirm that the earthquake was felt in parts of Morocco. then another ones with low magnitude: (2) Quote: La primera de las réplicas, de 2.2 grados, se ha producido a las 3:11 horas, al suroeste de la costa sur de Portugal, en el cabo de San Vicente, en las coordenadas 36.45 de latitud y 9.82 de longitud y a 25 kilómetros de profundidad de la superficie del mar, según ha informado el IGN. Tras ésta, se ha registrado a las 3:20 horas una nueva réplica de 3.0 grados en las coordenadas 36.60 de latitud y 9.68 de longitud, a 56 kilómetros de profundidad de la superficie del mar que, según el IGN sí ha podido ser percibida por la población de los municipios más occidentales de la Península. Las siguientes réplicas, de 2.0 grados, se han producido a las 3:41 y a las 3:57 horas a 22 y 19 kilómetros de profundidad de la superficie del mar, respectivamente. Las tres últimas réplicas se han registrado a las 4:33, 4:47 y 5:48 horas, y han tenido entre 2,1 y 3,4 grados.

Re: 12-17-09 6.3 Lisboa... recall!We need to keep a close eye on this. From Wikipedia: Azores-Gibraltar Transform Fault From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Azores-Gibraltar Transform Fault, also called the Azores-Gibraltar fault zone (AGFZ), is a major geologic fault which runs eastward from the eastern end of the Terceira Rift in the Azores, extending through the Strait of Gibraltar and into the Mediterranean Sea. It forms part of the tectonic boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate. The extension east of the Strait of Gibraltar is poorly understood and is currently regarded as a "diffuse" boundary. Somewhere in the vicinity of the Italian Peninsula, many geologists believe the fault connects with a subduction zone where the African Plate is slowly subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. The fault is a right lateral moving type of transform fault, moving about 4 mm per year, but eastern segments of the fault show evidence of compression as well. _________________ The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. - FDR |
