Southwestern Luzon, Philippines, frequently experiences moderate to strong earthquakes, many of which are felt in Metro Manila, the nation's capital. This short article explores the sources of these seismic events. temblor.net/temblor/shaken…

Scientists from PHIVOLCS-DOST, the Philippines organization responsible for seismic and volcano hazard monitoring, explain what's going on with offshore earthquakes not far from the metro Manila area. temblor.net/temblor/shaken…

We wrote an article explaining why earthquakes (many of which are felt in Metro Manila) occur in the southwestern Luzon region, Philippines.

Just experienced a 7.7 strength #earthquake in #Bangkok for close to 3 minutes. Its epicenter was Mandalay, Myanmar, over 1200 kms from here. Despite the distance it swayed buildings; caused cracks, forced evacuations and rooftop pools cascaded much water to down below. Scary!

This figure informs us about the historical and current seismicity in Myanmar especially in the Sagaing fault. Also, the Mag 7.7 was strongly felt until 2000 km where massive damages can be found in Thailand.

Scenario (**NOT REAL DATA**) of deformations for the today M 7.7, #Myanmar #earthquake (up to 1 m on surface), based on #USGS finite-source results. Here also the #Sentinel1 acquisition schedule for #InSAR results terremoti.ingv.it/en/finitesourc… with Andrea Antonioli

GPR x precise leveling along the creeping segment of the West Valley Fault. Like the recent earthquake in Myanmar, this fault poses a significant threat to Metro Manila. The recent earthquake serves as a reminder of this risk, highlighting the importance of continuous monitoring.

Possible surface rupture as a result of the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar (?) Photos here appear to show right lateral offset in the roads.

Apocalyptic scenes from Mandalay, MM. Only seeing small snippets of what is happening, given minimal internet or electricity. Supplies of food and water running scarce. Lack of machinery or govt support to find people under buildings. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #MyanmarEarthquake

Preliminary coseismic displacements and fault offset of 2025 Myanmar earthquake from Copernicus EU @ESA #Sentinel2 images, processed by NTU Taiwan GEOG #Copernicus 1. Rupture propagated from N to S 2. Maximum offset >4m 3. Two peaks of fault offset 4. Rupture length >300km

Surface rupture after 7.7 Earthquake in Myanmar.

The #MyanmarEarthquake broke a seismic gap identified by Hurukawa and Maung (2011), called the Meiktila Gap. They prev. estimated a M7.9 earthquake here. Possibly, the last EQ on the gap was in 1839, Mw7.9–8.3. Credit: Hubbard & Bradley, DtA on Wikipedia

Updated USGS Earthquakes model indicate more than 400km of rupture. The southern extent is near Pyu City. Plotting the model against Tun & Watkinson diagram, looks like it broke Pyu segment. This section previously broke in 1930 M7.5 quake! Seismic gap nearby .. #MyanmarEarthquake

Updated Optical image correlation using Sentinel-2 data N-S displacements along the Sagaing Fault suggest a surface rupture of approximately 500 km — unusually long fault rupture for a magnitude 7.7 earthquake! The maximum ground offset reaches more than 4 m. -DETect Faults
