The 2002 event (7.5 M w) occurred near the two largest 20th century Philippine earthquakes: the 1918 Celebes Sea earthquake (8.3 M w) and the 1976 Moro Gulf earthquake (8.0 M w). The epicenter of the earthquake was located near the Cotobato Trench; the magnitude of this megathrust earthquake was 7.5, the sixth strongest of the year. [ 2 ]
The Cotabato Trench is an oceanic trench in the Pacific Ocean, off the southwestern coast of Mindanao in the Philippines. Along this trench the oceanic crust of the Sunda Plate beneath the Celebes Sea is being subducted beneath the Philippines Mobile Belt .
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck Santa Flavia, Italy on September 6 at a depth of 5.0 km (3.1 mi), 2 People Died From Heart Attacks. A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck East Sepik, Papua New Guinea on September 8 at a depth of 13.0 km (8.1 mi), 6 people were killed and 70 More were injured.
A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.

The 1975 M w 7.6 earthquake was caused by intra-slab normal faulting, while the 2012 M7.6 was a result of thrust faulting within the descending slab. [ 3 ] The relatively young Cotabato Trench subduction zone has been associated with several large megathrust earthquakes, including the 1918 Celebes Sea earthquake (M8.3), the 1976 Moro Gulf ...
“It is also possible that earthquakes can increase the stress at the continuation of the faults or nearby faults, which may trigger other earthquakes.” Does climate change affect seismic activity?
