Here we have the Ryu Kuyu Trench and Islands. This is an extension of Japan. We see here very strong subduction zone going down and Right near Taipei in Taiwan in general. We're seeing this new seismic burst So this is just for the past 24 hours, okay? I'm gonna click on the seven-day view because we've had other activity just yesterday But we see just in the past 24 hours a magnitude 5.1 5.1 5.4 That's the strongest in this sequence. That was today 553 a.m. Universal time and a 4.6 now if I go here and switch this to our seven-day view We will see that all of a sudden a lot more earthquakes pop up so We can set this to largest magnitude 5.4 5.2 5.1 5.1 5.1 5.0 the fact that we have five magnitude 5s all closely grouped together is Indicative that there could be a bigger earthquake soon to come because this is not normal as it relates to let's say it just being a magnitude 5 and that's it if that was the case.
The aftershocks would be magnitude 4 maybe one of them and then you get magnitude 3s if this was like a double sequence Sometimes you get kind of two earthquakes similar magnitude. Well, this is five of them, okay? and What we've seen quite a few times now is that We get these sort of magnitude 5 earthquake swarms preceding larger magnitude 6 and 7 events Keep in mind that this is not relieving stress on a fault if there is a magnitude 6.5 or let's say magnitude 7 imminent Okay, because a magnitude 5 earthquake is a thousand times weaker in seismic energy release than a magnitude 7 goes up 32 times per magnitude So a magnitude 5 compared to magnitude 7 is a drop in the bucket. It's nothing So it's not relieving stress on these faults, okay?
And we saw this back in November December I started talking about that earthquakes warm literally the moment We had some five saying get ready something biggest coming it happened. We had a 6.4 6.8 we then had some other magnitude 6 quake activity then the 7.6 a struck Japan one of the strongest earthquakes of the year That was up in this region right here. So that was quite significant now we're seeing activity here the real danger for this is if you were to have a big earthquake Look at the location here, okay? You in it shallow you'll notice all these are shallow I mean the 5.4 is at 35 kilometers in depth all the others around 10 this one there That's trying to fill up the ends. It's really zoom in here all them are showing 10 kilometers of depth which is a adept that a lot of frequencies do rupture at and be also their default value when they can't calculate a depth.
So regardless this 5.4 being the strongest earthquake it has the best ability for us to measure its specific characteristics 35 kilometers. That's not super deep, okay? It's not super shallow, but it's not a deep earthquake that wouldn't trigger a tsunami Let's say a magnitude 7.5 occurs at the same depth that could very well do it shallower would be Better you could say for a big tsunami not that we want that But regardless it's still within that depth range which could trigger something so Here we see that if there was some sort of big event it hit the Philippines Taiwan, Japan Korean Peninsula and also China, but we can drop this guy and right here and Hit play and we'll see that go out So we can see how it impact this part of Asia and Really it's that would be a pretty pretty bad location for something big to occur Not guaranteed Hopefully it doesn't but it's something to be aware of because we're seeing the earthquake activity That often precedes the sort of high magnitude events.
So that's why I report on it when we see the signs we talk about it if nothing's happening there I'm not gonna make a big deal out of nothing like some people do you know They they create these fictional things to drum you up and they'll talk about them for 10 years to create online Cloud at the expense of their soul. That's not what I'm interested in One other thing to note there is that there is a history of strong earthquakes, okay? So we see I just drew a box around just kind of this immediate area for earthquakes Magnitudes seven or greater going back to the year 1900 January 1st You see that Taiwan gets a lot of earthquakes right this junction that makes sense But we do see specifically for right where our earthquakes warm is which is like right here Basically right in the area we see this 7.7 occurred 1938 on the 10th of June at a death of 20 kilometers.
So 7.7 is big that would for sure be one of the biggest earthquakes if that occurred this year of the year So it's certainly possible we see that history there we see some other earthquakes nearby 8.1 1910 that's a little further back 7.2 back in 58 and this occurring in 38 means that were What 88 years away from that now? So it's been a while. It's been a while now. We're seeing some foreshock activities So again, no guarantee that's going to result in the you know a big big big earthquake But this sort of foreshock activity is not a Good sign, let's us say unfortunately And it's not relieving stress on the fall if a bigger earthquake is for example you could say destined, okay?.
