A tsunami hit Indonesia after a powerful earthquake. Seismic activity and earthquake map online Where the earthquake occurred in the last 24 hours

The destructive power of an earthquake depends on its magnitude (at the hypocenter, i.e. at the source), the depth of the earthquake source and the distance from the epicenter (the point of projection of the source onto the surface of the earth).

Examples of media reports and explanations of terms:
"According to ***, there, at such and such Moscow time, an earthquake occurred magnitude in the outbreak M=4.3 points on the nine-point Richter scale, at a depth of 15 km from sea level.
The epicenter of the earthquake was located 100 kilometers southeast of the city ***. Tremors were felt in the village of *** by force up to four points, and in the city of *** - three points (on a 12-point scale). According to the latest data, there are no casualties or serious damage. Over the course of a week, 4 earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.3 to 4.3 on the Richter scale were recorded in the indicated area, which were also felt in neighboring regions. According to statistics provided by seismologists, the average interval between series of earthquakes with a magnitude of up to four in this area is approximately *** years."

Or
“An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 at the source occurred there. Its epicenter was located one hundred kilometers southeast of the city ***. The depth of the source was 15 km” from sea level.

Or
The four-point earth happened today somewhere.

The magnitude of an earthquake (not to be confused with “strength”, and leave the points alone) - quantitatively characterizes its energy at the source, on a nine-point Richter scale (0-9). Calculated from the results of measurements by instruments (seismographs) at the seismic stations closest to the epicenter different countries. An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 or higher, with a nearby epicenter and a shallow source, is considered strong and can cause significant destruction and lead to casualties among the population, especially if buildings and residential structures are not designed for proper seismic resistance or were built by low-skilled migrant workers, with rough violations of construction norms and rules.

The strength of earthquake tremors (intensity) is a qualitative (felt, visible) characteristic of the degree of destruction and other manifestations on the earth's surface, at a specific point on the earth's surface. For this, a twelve-point scale (1-12) or a modified Mercalli scale is used. They differ little. The real danger comes from tremors with a force of four or more.

Forecast. Before a strong earthquake, a few minutes or even hours later, domestic animals and birds begin to scream and rush around, trying to run away from the house to the street, to hide. The dogs are trying to take their owners and children to a safe place. Cats carry kittens away. Aquarium fish are worried, trying to jump out of the water of the aquarium. Rats and mice are running outside from the basements of houses. Wild animals, in advance - several hours or days before the earthquake, leave in packs from dangerous area. Snakes and lizards crawl out of their holes (even in winter, at night and in bad weather), Birds constantly scream, fly in circles for a long time and randomly. Animals and birds lose their appetite, their behavior changes greatly - they, without attacking each other, move away from danger together.

Those who were born, raised and lived (in natural conditions) in earthquake-prone areas have the best sensitivity. The skill lasts a long time. Their reaction is more often selective, only to close (local earthquakes) and dangerous in strength (more than two to four points).

Seismologists and volcanologists use scientific, instrumental forecasting methods and early warning methods: constant monitoring of seismic activity with a network of sensitive sensors, regular measurements and detection of increases in the concentration of helium and radon in the surface air and at depth, etc.

Dependence of earthquake intensity. from the distance to the epicenter. From nearby epicenters of large earthquakes (if a “seven” magnitude or higher strikes), very sharp shocks and impacts, intense shaking are felt, glows and sparks are visible, an underground rumble, crackling and roar of collapsing buildings and falling, broken trees is heard, a sharp increased wind. At distances of hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter, echoes of an earthquake reach - low-frequency, relatively slow vibrations, wave-like swaying of the earth's surface during the day. The farther away, the smaller their vertical amplitude and the longer the period (up to a minute or more, at a distance to the epicenter of several thousand kilometers), with the exception of anomalously intense and resonant manifestations at certain distances from the epicenter and along large, deep tectonic faults.

Influence of tidal (gravitational) effects. Seismicity increases - during the new moon and, especially, during the full moon, as well as when the Moon is at perigee (closer to the Earth). There is also a seasonal dependence: in autumn and, especially, in winter, it shakes stronger and more often than in spring and summer.

Geological factor. The greatest destruction from an earthquake occurs at rocky outcrops and if they are covered with loose sediments of small thickness, which are thrown up at their base. Safer ground conditions are areas with thick layers of loose rocks. rocks in which the seismic wave weakens and is extinguished until it reaches the earth's surface.

Tsunamis occur if the epicenter of the earth is located near the sea coast. At the first impact, the water first moves away from the shore, and then, accelerating, in the form big wave hits the coast. The brightness of the glow of marine organisms increases sharply two to three minutes before the tsunami.

Map of tectonic plates of the world

Scientists have compiled a map of the largest tectonic plates:

• Australian;
• Arabian subcontinent;
• Antarctic;
• African;
• Hindustan;
• Eurasian;
• Nazca Plate;
• Plate Coconut;
• Pacific;
• North and South American platforms;
• Scotia Plate;
• Philippine plate.

From theory we know that the solid shell of the earth (lithosphere) consists not only of plates that form the relief of the planet’s surface, but also of the deep part - the mantle. Continental platforms have a thickness from 35 km (in flat areas) to 70 km (in the zone mountain ranges). Scientists have proven that the slab is thickest in the Himalaya region. Here the thickness of the platform reaches 90 km. The thinnest lithosphere is found in the ocean zone. Its thickness does not exceed 10 km, and in some areas this figure is 5 km. Based on information about the depth at which the earthquake epicenter is located and the speed of propagation of seismic waves, the thickness of sections of the earth's crust is calculated.

Map of faults and seismically dangerous places

The map shows the locations of seismically hazardous zones. The zones are highlighted in color - from green to red. The closer the color is to red, the higher the likelihood of strong and destructive earthquakes. The map was created using data from earthquakes that occurred since 1973.
Nuclear power plants are shown on the map. The location of a nuclear power plant in a seismic zone increases the danger to the population.

Earthquake map from quakes.globalincidentmap.com Earthquake map from emsc-csem.org Behavior before, during and after an earthquake

The vast majority of earthquakes last about one, rarely more than one minute. However, the intensity of the oscillations during this time is not the same. As a rule, an earthquake begins with relatively weak vibrations (sometimes imperceptible), which last 10-20 seconds, then the main phase of the earthquake begins, in which the vibrations reach their greatest intensity, then a gradual decline follows. Well-constructed and well-maintained buildings, which do not have special anti-seismic measures, can withstand earthquakes of up to magnitude 6 without much damage. Buildings that are in poor technical condition and dilapidated are doubly dangerous in conditions of the threat of strong earthquakes. Before the earthquake Inside your home, firmly attach cabinets, shelving, and cabinetry to the walls and floor. Furniture, standing and hanging objects in residential premises are placed so that if they fall, the sleeping persons will not be injured and the passages and exits from the apartment will remain free. All heavy objects should be moved to lower shelves and places. Shelves with dishes must be closed. Attach chandeliers and overhead lights securely; do not use glass shades. Do not block passages and exits from rooms and apartments with things. Flammable, caustic, toxic liquids and powders must be securely sealed, closed in strong, secured containers and boxes. All family members should be well aware of the most important dangerous places residential premises: in the openings of internal main walls near these walls, at supporting columns and under frame beams, in the corners of internal main walls and under durable furniture (tables, beds). And dangerous places too: near large glazed openings and partitions, corner rooms of buildings, especially the top floors. During an earthquake Don't panic! Quickly focus on executing previously thought-out actions, but be prepared to act according to circumstances. In the house/apartment: If you are in a low building, up to 2-3 floors, then it is better to leave it quickly. Moreover, this should be done if the building is not earthquake-resistant. Run out quickly but carefully, beware of falling objects, downed wires and other sources of danger, and immediately move away from the building to an open area. When on the upper floors of a multi-story building, do not rush towards stairs or elevators. Most likely, they will be crowded with people and the elevators will be disabled. Therefore, it is better to stay in the building and, having first opened the entrance door, which may later become jammed due to distortions, quickly take the safest place in the room: under durable furniture, at the supporting column wall closest to the center of the building, in the doorway of the main walls, in the corner rooms. And always away from windows, heavy objects and equipment that could tip over. Provide assistance to the disabled and elderly. Do not enter or run around buildings. Once near a tall building, stand in the doorway, this will protect you from falling pieces of glass, balconies, cornices and parapets. It is best to be in an open place, away from buildings and power lines. In transport Any vehicle must be stopped calmly and quickly, as far as possible from tall buildings, overpasses, bridges, power lines or anything that could collapse from strong shocks. Drivers of buses and trams, having stopped transport, must open all doors. After the earthquake While in the building, remain calm and assess the situation. Examine yourself and those around you, and if necessary, provide medical assistance to those in need. Wear sturdy shoes to avoid damaging your feet from splinters and debris. When going down the stairs, check the reliability of its structures. Check for fire hazards. Any fire that occurs must be extinguished immediately. If you notice damage to electrical wiring, turn off the power if you have not already done so.

Images reminiscent of a disaster movie have emerged in the final hours from the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. After a powerful earthquake, a tsunami hit him: the wave swept away everything in its path - houses and roads were destroyed, ships were overturned. At the epicenter is a city inhabited by more than 300 thousand people. At the moment, the death toll is approaching fifty, and this figure is unlikely to be final.

People gathered on the balcony of this building to film the destruction and at the same time look at the raging ocean. Moreover, before this, the threat of a tsunami after the earthquake was lifted. Within a few seconds the wave becomes higher and more powerful. Panic, screams are heard, then the phone falls from the owner’s hands.

The fate of these people is unknown. Rescue services cannot yet say even approximately how many people became victims of the tsunami. But we are definitely talking about dozens.

Hospitals in the city and its surroundings are overcrowded. Help for victims is provided right on the streets. The number of wounded, according to preliminary data, is close to five hundred.

“We are sending medical teams from around the area, the Marine Corps and the Army, as well as members of the national search and rescue agency,” said Indonesian National Armed Forces commander Hadi Tzhanjanto.

The cause of the tsunami, which was so underestimated, was a series of earthquakes. After the first one, with a magnitude of 6, a more powerful, repeated one, with a magnitude of 7.7, occurred. And even a whole series of aftershocks. The strength of the tremors can be assessed from CCTV footage. During prayer, people did not immediately understand what was happening. They began to sway sharply from side to side. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed throughout the region. The ships washed ashore. Huge cracks in the asphalt. A horrific photo spread across the world's media: a man holding his dead child in his arms. In the background is all that remains of their home.

“I and all our people express our condolences for the earthquake and tsunami that hit Palu and its surrounding areas. We will use all resources to resolve the consequences of the disaster as quickly as possible,” Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

Such natural disasters are not uncommon for residents of Indonesia. The islands are located at the junction of tectonic plates, in an area of ​​increased seismic and volcanic activity. Not long ago, the popular tourist island of Lombok was hit by two powerful earthquakes. Then a total of more than five hundred people died, and about one and a half thousand were injured.

Today it is no longer a secret to anyone that on all continents of our planet there is a significant increase in cataclysms and natural disasters that are associated with cosmic cyclical processes and, as a consequence, global climate change. The increase in activity and frequency of natural disasters on a planetary scale is due to seismic activity. Scientists around the world are concerned about the constantly changing data on the increase in the number of earthquakes. Not only their number increases, but also the intensity, location, and nature of destructive actions.

Thus, an area of ​​special attention for the scientific direction of climate geoengineering and the entire world community today are two points on different hemispheres of the globe - the Yellowstone caldera in the USA and the Aira caldera in Japan. These are two huge underground volcanoes located at the junction of lithospheric plates. According to scientists, the activation of one of them can lead to the subsequent activation of the other, and this is not only a large-scale eruption, but also earthquakes, tsunamis and other consequences. The scale of such a global catastrophe is difficult to assess.

This and other important issues of early warning of people about impending cataclysms were openly stated in 2014 by the global community of ALLATRA SCIENCE scientists in the report “On the problems and consequences of global climate change on Earth. Effective ways to solve these problems."

Earthquake.

According to official terminology, an earthquake is a vibration of the earth's surface or underground points that are a reflection of the internal geological changes of the planet. The basis for this effect is the displacement of tectonic plates, which lead to ruptures in the earth's crust and mantle. As a result, oscillatory movements, depending on the intensity of the process, can spread over long distances, bringing with them not only a destructive effect on social infrastructure, but also a threat to people’s lives.

This issue is dealt with by a special science – seismology. Several areas are being actively studied, including: deepening the knowledge of what seismic activity is in essence and what it is connected with, possible forecasting of these natural disasters, for timely warning and evacuation of people. Like any other science, seismology can actively develop only in a mutually beneficial symbiosis with other sciences (physics, history, biology, geophysics, etc.), since the fundamental basis for all knowledge on our planet is, of course, common.

Seismic activity online and in the world.

Seismic monitoring is developing in most countries, regardless of the territory, frequency and threat of earthquakes. In addition, a seismic monitor is one of the fundamental factors in the development and preservation of the integrity of energy industry facilities. Almost every person on the planet today is an active consumer of electricity. Therefore, power plants are located in all countries and on all continents, including areas of high seismic hazard. The action of such a destructive force of nature is fraught not only with an energy disaster, but also with global environmental problems.

In order to control seismic processes (earthquakes), study them and warn the public in advance about their occurrence, seismic stations are built in designated areas. All necessary characteristics of tremors are studied - magnitude, location and depth of the source.

Earthquakes online.

Thanks to Internet technologies, data is also available to all people today: “earthquakes online.” This is the so-called earthquake map, which provides information about tremors around the world around the clock.

Active participants of the ALLATRA International Public Movement have developed the most full map seismic activity, which displays objective data from world information portals and seismic monitoring stations. Informing the public and awareness of the processes occurring on the planet, their causes and consequences is the main goal of this project.

Today, everyone can observe a significant increase in abnormal weather changes, natural disasters, and cataclysms. The active participation of all people, unification, mutual assistance and friendship, the prevalence of true moral and spiritual values ​​in society is the key to the survival of civilization in the future.

And introduce you to a couple more wonderful services.

There are many seismically active areas on planet Earth, where tremors occur with a certain frequency. Their causes are overwhelmingly natural and caused by the movements of tectonic plates. Despite actively developing research in this area and good technical equipment, it is almost impossible to predict where and at what point on the planet there will be an earthquake tomorrow or today. All that remains is to keep track of where exactly they occur...

For today’s publication, I have selected three of the best services with which you can find out where there was an earthquake today or in the previous day (week, month, etc.), what strength it was, where its epicenter is, etc. In general, get access to almost the same information , which is owned by geologists all over the world. Online earthquake map

This map displays the most complete information on seismic activity from all major geological sources. You can change its scale by holding down the CTRL key and turning the mouse wheel, switch between display modes in the form of a map or from a satellite:

The advantage of this map is that it collects specific numerical statistics in the form of graphs on tremors around the world:

• Quantity per day
• Time distribution
• Maximum magnitude by day

And in the table, data is updated online (the most recent at the top) for all earthquakes in the world, indicating their characteristics and data source.

Online monitor of the planet's seismic activity The website https://earthquake.usgs.gov/ appeared thanks to the support and participation of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) - the US Geological Survey. The goal of this project is to save lives by providing the most up-to-date information about earthquakes occurring not only in the United States, but throughout the world.

In the central part of the screen you see a display of our planet and circles representing the epicenters of seismic activity at the present time. On the left side of the window there is a monitor (constantly updated list) of the latest information:

• Where did the earthquake occur?
• At what depth
• What time
• What magnitude

By clicking on any event from the list in the pop-up window you will find more detailed information about it:

The size of the circles on the map and their color depend on the strength of the tremors and how long ago they occurred:

The information on the site is updated every minute (!), so you receive the most current and up-to-date information about seismic activity on Earth.

Real-Time Earthquake Monitoring Finally, the third resource provides real-time animated images of earthquakes occurring on Earth:

Epicenters have different colors depending on the strength of the tremors (green - up to three, burgundy - more than six):

The left side of the window displays a feed of seismic events in the world (the most recent at the top). By clicking on any of them, you will move to the desired point on the world map and see the details in a pop-up window:

Everything is fine, the animation is cool and interesting, it makes the overall picture more clear, but it is precisely because of it that the site slows down quite noticeably. Perhaps it’s just me (if you haven’t had any problems with it, please write in the comments).
