The 2007 Nevelsk earthquake affected the island of Sakhalin in Russia and generated a tsunami along its coast. The M w 6.2 shock occurred at a depth of 10 km (6.2 mi), and had an epicenter located 20 km (12 mi) off the coast of Kholmsk at 13:37 local time on 2 August. It was caused by reverse faulting on a north–south striking and west ...
Before the Nazko earthquake swarm began in 2007, the Anahim hotspot was not known to be an earthquake zone. On October 10 of the following year, a swarm of earthquakes occurred. These earthquakes were normally no more than magnitude 1.0 on the Richter magnitude scale, but at least one earthquake was as strong as magnitude 3.9.
Sunday's earthquake was one of the most powerful ever to hit western Australia.
In 2019, for instance, Florida recorded at least nine small earthquakes, mostly in the 2.0 magnitude range. In 2020, a 4.4 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Escambia County.
The intraplate earthquake measured 5.9 on the moment magnitude scale and its epicenter was located about 250 miles (400 km) west-southwest of Anna Maria, Florida. The event was felt throughout much of the Gulf Coast of the United States and was the second earthquake of magnitude 5 or greater in the Gulf during 2006.
Moderately damaging earthquakes strike between New York and Wilmington, Delaware, about twice a century, the USGS said, and smaller earthquakes are felt in the region roughly every two to three years.
