By experience, here in Costa Rica in 1991 after 7.7, we had 5+ aftershocks almost every hour for a day and a half, so that is kind of expected. However, this happens 3 weeks later, I suspect a local group of small faults got actived due rearregement of the area causing a seismic swarm.
@@ThePaulv12 o I think he’s saying this is vastly different than a “traditional” earthquake and suggesting why that may be. Ironically I was think something similar except I suspect the prior earthquake shifted the ground in such a way as to induce stresses on the upper rock. Overtime the rock was slowly deforming/failing till finally it began to give out all at once. At some point however something happened and it got “stuck” essentially leading to the dip and subsequent spike in activity. Just my speculation though.

That area in Taiwan is highly active. Back in 1951, 5 earthquakes of magnitude 7+ occurred in a month. Seismologists in Taiwan are now worrying about a potential 8+ earthquake as the period of 8+ earthquakes from that fault is around 105 years (the last one is in 1920).
I've been waiting eagerly for you to talk about this. It was crazy to watch on my phone's Volcano Discovery app (which also shows non-volcanic earthquakes). It felt like a slow-slip event on steroids. I can't imagine being in Taiwan to experience this continual shaking. Thanks for taking time to research it and put together a great video.
The big New Zealand earthquake a few years ago had an abnormal spike in magnitudes of the aftershocks as you followed the graph line down. It was only a few quakes , but it broke trend and stood out on the graph of those earthquakes and aftershocks .
It's been admitted this was done by accident to Christchurch by a device in Antarctica. This has been admitted by people directly involved as friendly fire, this suspiciously looks like the same thing hitting Taiwan.
I was in Japan when the 9.2 Fukushima earthquake hit Japan. Around 2-3 months prior to the 9.2, a magnitude 7 hit Japan, and the subsequent months had some smaller swarms and foreshocks before the big one. After the big one hit, there was so many aftershocks that the feeling of the shake became normalized. Edit: the 7 magnitude foreshock actually occurred 3 days prior to the big one, not 2-3 months.
I was watching all the quakes for months on the USGS earthquake list. I remember it all. I knew it was going to lead to a subduction event. I posted my concerns along with the question “ will there be a subduction event off the coast of Japan?” in a local seismic Facebook group, and my question had a lot of responses from so called experts, some who berated me, and the admin deleted my post from the group. Then the subduction event actually happened. I posted again, saying without saying “ I told you so”, which was also deleted.

This is an intriguing series of quakes. Your explanation seems to fit. It will be interesting to see what new discoveries they make in this area about the geology based on the latest. I understand that the quakes in Turkiye, which presented differently, still gave new information regarding the faults there. I hope everyone was safe. They must be pretty unnerved with all that shaking.
That actually happens pretty often there. I lived in Hualien for 30 years. Arrived just in time for the last quake season ( mid-1980s, not as large as this time, largest quakes registered at 6.8 and 6.9 on the Richter scale; several others over 6.0). After large quakes, we would go through periods where the ground would simply quiver like jello for 20-40 minutes at a time. After those quakes and several other times during the decades I was there, we had multi-earthquake series in the 4s and occasionally up to the 5s (sometimes with no major quakes and seemingly for no reason at all).The last time this happened was a couple of years after the 2018 quake (I forget which year) and covered the same general area these quakes do. If you can find it, the quakes in that series started south of Hualien and slowly worked their way north. Mostly in the 3s and 4s if I remember correctly. Figured we were working up for another big one, but it came to nothing. Don't know if you can find the data from past decades to compare to this event, but you might find it interesting if you can.

I find it interesting that those quakes seem to appear in 2 lines parallel to the coast. It seems to lend credence to the theory of the smaller faults rupturing.
I don't see any depths for these quakes, so I wonder about these quakes being evidence of a Hilina Slump type of slow slide occurring in this east coast Taiwan. Are there any measurements detecting this possibility in the area.
I wish they did because my supply of Peridot from Pakistan has dried up due to conflict in the area. Getting hold of a few pounds of Icelandic Peridot would be so awesome.
I'm thinking Sea water got into (and still getting into) the faults and is providing lubrication to the faults are slipping at a higher rate than normal.
Here's a simple model of earthquakes: quake magnitudes are distributed as a power law distribution. There is a 'quiescent' rate of quakes. Following a large quake, the rate increases (and the rate then decays back towards quiescent over time.). However, the magnitude distribution remains unchanged --- only the rate changes. So if a magnitude 6 quake raises the overall rate to 100 times quiescent over the next day, the odds of a magnitude 7 quake in that next day is also 100 times normal. "Foreshocks" are merely times when that magnitude 7 event randomly occurs while the overall rate is increased. This model is both obvious enough and easily enough to test that I am confident it has been tested. Can any quake geologist comment please? (The quakes discussed in this video appear to be a big violation of this model.)
The chart seems like much lower than expected for aftershocks. Maybe the original slip should have been worse and resulted in the unusual stronger swarm was the remainder.
One possibility for the April 23 swan quakes is the section of fault zone has fluids released from mineral and it causes stress well distribute on large area of faults. (Local public station interview, in Mandarin:) th-cam.com/video/X99ecjTgM3w/w-d-xo.html
I'd love to see a video about intraplate faults and associated quakes, the recent events here in New Jersey have me back into the stuff regarding the Ramapo fault system. Perhaps you could speak on both the Ramapo fault and the New Madrid Seismic Zone as both are very active intraplate Seismic zones.
I've got a question for you Geo hub, There was a volcanic event somewhere around Madagascar a while back that made the earth ring like a bell. a very unique event. what was up with the layer of earth that sound rang through and did it resounate to be able to do that trick around the world?
Isn't it better to have multiple small earthquakes than one large earthquake? With the smaller quakes the fault slippage is being released in tiny amounts instead of one huge release. They certainly don't need an 8.5 magnitude quake, so multiple 4.5 magnitude quakes should be acceptable as more structures can withstand smaller earthquakes. I'm not saying it's good to have earthquakes but smaller quakes should do far less damage to buildings and other structures. It sure must be unsettling to constantly have earthquakes but Taiwan is in a quake-prone region, so I suppose the people are used to having them.
My theory as to why there are so many quakes of the same approximate intensity is maybe this is just 1 massive, ongoing earthquake, and all those 5's and 4's are the continued ruptures. Like, instead of an earthquake initiating and ending in 1 event over the course of a few seconds, this is an earthquake that is continually buckling and shifting over the course of hours in multiple events. Think of it as a car sat parked on a steep incline, and the brakes are giving out, but not all the way. -OR- A car has smashed into the side of a building and stopped in the rubble, but then it shunts forward half a foot, then stops, then shunts forward another couple inches, then stops again, and so on and so forth.
Im glad you make these videos, you are well learned and quite good at what you do. But I wish you would humble the way you talk sometimes. It appears that you more and more pass things off as your expectation instead of this is what is seen on average after these events. I'm sure it's not intentional. There are several other very knowledge geologists with many years more experience then yourself on here who are far more humble and are careful about not trying to take credit or over hype their expectations. If you honestly critique yourself on this I think you will do far better. I do acknowledge your success so I admit i could be wrong. This just advice, if you see it. I won't read the strew of nonsense after this comment so those that want to respond feel free just know I won't see it.
Is it True? These earthquakes are the results of 2 Plates slipping past each other? If so, is it better to have a lot of small releases of energy or a Big single movement along the whole Fault?
i got a great video idea, talk about the fact many citys are sinking but mostly in china some citys sinking at 3mm a year (29% total population live there) some are 10mm A YEAR!. other citys are also sinking but china seems to be becasue of many interesting reasons such as over draining of underground water. thats why most videos of sink holes tend to be in China. becasue of many reasons mainly corruption of overbuilding massive concrete structures with lax safety controls. doesnt need to be that politcal angle but its interesting, do your sceiance thing and tell me what might happen if this doesnt slow down? 10mm seems like crazy amount to not be a decade but a year!
There is the environmental damage that china has caused to itself, but dont forget the tofu dreg construction that is rampant there. As far as geologic reasons, you have plate movement, plate rebound, subsidence due to ground water removal, theres tons of factors.
Doubtful. Last Taiwan volcano eruption was off the coast to the north in the 1700's and it appears most of teh volcanic regions are in the north of the island, with only the Hai'an Range being anywhere close to the area affected. However having said all that, when I saw that cluster of quakes, I thought it looked very similar to quake swarms we've been watching on the Rekyanes Pennisula for the last few years in iceland.
@@Deltaflot1701and Taiwan is as the far end of a major volcanic trench. Plus unusual stuff is happening all over the globe both meteorologically and geologically
These quake could be caused by salt water intrusion into fresh water beneath the surface. The size of the quakes could represent the volume of water that rushed into an open fault.
We can't emphasize enough that science in its nature always follows reality and not necessarily vice versa. Science isn't some kind of eternal devine laws that some scientism ppl dreamed, but accumulation of our efforts to figure out how our reality actually works. Sometimes our reality just outsmarts us and our scientific theories and that's why we need science and scientific researchers!
I hope this does not affect Taiwan's national security in the face of PRC or chip manufacturing industry. Those fab factory complexes are worth nearly a trillion dollars to replace as well as their yearly manufacturing output.
yes,the weight+pressure of China,after their winter equinox,with the current fragility of the Earth's mantle,due to the Earth's axis having previously tilted unnaturally,due to polar melt.
Well, let's just hope this doesn't turn into a very serious Event, with a continental shelf collapse or shallow incline detachment slide. There's a hell of a lot of evidence on the floor of the trench that Taiwan is hanging on the edge of that this has happened before. Also there is some very large up and down motions in the geological record, just in the last few hundreds of thousands of years here, with the mountain ranges having uplifted 6 kilometres and dropping a similar amount in just a few hundred thousand years before that. While it's fashionable these days to assume this happened at slow and steady rates, the fact is that this uniformatarianist mindset, applied to plate tectonics is dead Jim. But not yet buried. If this is a slab delamination or rollback, things could get very messy indeed. These subduction slab graveyards are full of water and it's essentially red hot high explosive mud lenses at 30km depth where these quakes are occurring. Most motion we know now is slow slip in nature. But the fracturing below the lenses, as this looks uncomfortably like, could be the beginning of a basalt seafloor slab preparing to drop rapidly into the Graveyard and potentially this could cause either a sudden very dramatic uplift, and or a sudden very dramatic drop in surface terrain.... And Transoceanic Megatsunami.
The Western Pacífic Ocean has More Sismicity. The Registered Quakes Between The Magnitud of 4.5-5.4 It may Be 1 of Many Co-factors. There is Possibliity that It can Be Induce By Weather Systems. The Other Possiblity is Made Made Induce Quake .
Let us not forget that earthquakes can be facilitated by an increase in outbursts from the Sun in the form of CMEs and coronal hole magnetic connections that accelerate solar flares along its path. Volcanic eruptions are susceptible to this phenomenon as well. As Earth's magnetic field 'weakens" as it moves toward a magnetic flip or excursion, more energy from the Sun penetrates the Earth. Thanks for watching!

I hope this does not affect Taiwan's national security in the face of PRC or chip manufacturing industry. Those fab factory complexes are worth nearly a trillion dollars to replace as well as their yearly manufacturing output.
seems pretty normal after a 7.4 eq last month
yes,the weight+pressure of China,after their winter equinox,with the current fragility of the Earth's mantle,due to the Earth's axis having previously tilted unnaturally,due to polar melt.
China has gone and gotten them an earthquake machine. 😮😅
makes one wonder just how big the secret base under the island really is, why else so much attention?
God bless all in taiwan,❤
Didn't a similar thing occur near Japan in the 1950s just before Godzilla came up out of the sea and started stomping around?
i've followed that event on a livestream
There is of course a low but non-zero chance that these are not wholly natural quakes
water detonations
China testing out their earthquake generator 💀
🤔 When he rambles.... does he always whisper??
🙄...... 🙉
magma moving? reminds me of iceland
prolly not
They are lucky this time, if all this energy hit at once.......
Alright....Who talked shit to the earth gods?
I strongly recommend 1997 "Conspiracy theory" with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts.
Well, let's just hope this doesn't turn into a very serious Event, with a continental shelf collapse or shallow incline detachment slide.
There's a hell of a lot of evidence on the floor of the trench that Taiwan is hanging on the edge of that this has happened before.
Also there is some very large up and down motions in the geological record, just in the last few hundreds of thousands of years here, with the mountain ranges having uplifted 6 kilometres and dropping a similar amount in just a few hundred thousand years before that.
While it's fashionable these days to assume this happened at slow and steady rates, the fact is that this uniformatarianist mindset, applied to plate tectonics is dead Jim. But not yet buried.
If this is a slab delamination or rollback, things could get very messy indeed.
These subduction slab graveyards are full of water and it's essentially red hot high explosive mud lenses at 30km depth where these quakes are occurring. Most motion we know now is slow slip in nature. But the fracturing below the lenses, as this looks uncomfortably like, could be the beginning of a basalt seafloor slab preparing to drop rapidly into the Graveyard and potentially this could cause either a sudden very dramatic uplift, and or a sudden very dramatic drop in surface terrain....
And Transoceanic Megatsunami.
The Western Pacífic Ocean has More Sismicity. The Registered Quakes Between The Magnitud of 4.5-5.4 It may Be 1 of Many Co-factors. There is Possibliity that It can Be Induce By Weather Systems. The Other Possiblity is Made Made Induce Quake .
As well Geophysical Connection Earth Sun and Moon
Earth Harmónic Electrical Induction
planetary akignment.
Let us not forget that earthquakes can be facilitated by an increase in outbursts from the Sun in the form of CMEs and coronal hole magnetic connections that accelerate solar flares along its path. Volcanic eruptions are susceptible to this phenomenon as well. As Earth's magnetic field 'weakens" as it moves toward a magnetic flip or excursion, more energy from the Sun penetrates the Earth. Thanks for watching!
Complete and utter balderdash.
No, they are not, stop spreading conspiracy theories
This has ZERO scientific evidence supporting this claim.
Ah hello, fellow observer. Ben actually had an alert zone on Taiwan recently and covered this, right?
People forget that by volume you can get approximately 1.3 million earths into the sun. I think it has a great effect on us.
Oh dear!
i wonder if east taiwan is not populated
Is it because not enough plain? or because nobody want to live in this heavy sismic eastcoast?
1.平原不夠，在兩個縱向山脈中的狹長地形 2.交通不便，港口也少，由於山脈的阻隔使得交通費時，山脈的海拔高度也是個問題。
Something big going to pop
The kaiju are awakening!
What a coincidence for it to occur on palindrome week. (Okay, that technically is an artificial construct)
I was watching videos put out by GNS, so maybe it's there.
You sure about that? Smells like something China might do
wen in doubt: godzilla
