Based on BMKG data, the recent felt earthquakes have all occurred in Eastern Indonesia. It all started last Saturday ...

Continental Intraplate Earthquakes: Science, Hazard, and Policy Issues provides a comprehensive overview of these rare but very real global hazards.

Previous research on intraplate earthquakes focused on variations in the thickness of Earth’s crust, Becker said — less thick crust was thought to be weaker, which could host more localized ...

Can intraplate earthquakes produce stronger shaking than at plate boundaries?. ScienceDaily . Retrieved April 4, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2013 / 03 / 130320155224.htm ...

Intraplate earthquakes in the U.S. have not been as frequent but have been severe. In 1811 and 1812, a series of large earthquakes with estimated magnitudes above 7.0 occurred on the New Madrid ...

Becker said the study didn't necessarily apply to only intraplate earthquakes that happen in the U.S., but those that occur in other places around the world, like the Mediterranean.

Two giant earthquakes in the eastern Indian Ocean have shown geologists that breaking up is easy to do — for tectonic plates, that is. The pair of quakes hit on April 11, startling seismologists ...

The April earthquake involved horizontal (“strike-slip”) motion on a series of faults in the middle of the plate. It was both the largest strike-slip earthquake and the largest intraplate earthquake ...

Recurring intraplate earthquakes. A pair of closely spaced intraplate earthquakes in Japan can be explained by postseismic deformation associated with the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake.

No large tsunamigenic earthquake has occurred in north Chile since 1877 and the region has been largely recognized as a mature seismic gap 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.At the southern end of the seismic gap ...
