Since September, global seismic activity has become more frequent again, with nine seismic events of magnitude 6.0 or higher occurring worldwide in the past 15 days.
The first earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or higher this month occurred at 4:49:54 on September 2, and a magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in the Kuril Islands, with an epicenter at 50.30 degrees north latitude, 156.45 degrees east longitude, and a focal depth of 140 kilometers.
Just five days later, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Chile on September 7, followed by three more earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or higher worldwide: a magnitude 6.5 earthquake off the coast of New Zealand's Kermadec Islands on September 8, a magnitude 6.1 earthquake off the coast of the Mexican state of Jalisco on September 9, and a magnitude 6.9 earthquake off the coast of the Mexican state of Jalisco on September 9.
In these seismic activities, the earthquake in Morocco undoubtedly has the greatest impact on the local area, mainly due to the earthquake up to 6.9 magnitude, and the depth of the epicenter is shallow, only 10 kilometers, and the epicenter of the house earthquake resistance is weak, more people are distributed, so it has caused more serious casualties, up to now, this seismic activity has caused at least 2946 deaths, the number of injuries is as high as 5674.
However, seismic activity continued in various regions, and on the evening of September 12, at 19:03:17, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck the Philippine Islands area, with an epicenter at 19.35 degrees north latitude and 121.05 degrees east longitude, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers, less than 300 kilometers from the nearest point on the mainland. Just a day later, at 19:49:14 on September 13, a magnitude 6.1 earthquake also struck the Western Chilean Ridge.
