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 ]
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.
The tsunami generated by the 1976 earthquake caused about 4,000 deaths on Mindanao. Modelling of likely further tsunamis along the Cotabato Trench suggests that run-ups of several metres are likely for future earthquakes similar in size to the 1976 event. [6]

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 ...
