August, 2018
A magnitude 6.3 - 45km SSE of Tanaga Volcano, Alaska is the 4th major quake in a 24 hour period after the magnitude of 6.3 rocked Oregon and an extremely powerful magnitude 7.3 Earthquake - near the coast of Venezuela and a magnitude 6.5 - 79km E of Lakatoro, Vanuatu struck our planet.
yesterday.
Once again the quakes come as our Earth is inside a stream of solar wind flowing from a massive coronal hole.
An
incredible surge of major quakes has hit the planet in the last two
weeks after an incredible low count this year up to the beginning of
August when a flurry of major quakes have been registered around
the world coming entirely out of the blue.
The
surge of major quakes does, however, coincide with two
enormous coronal holes which have been spewing solar wind at the
Earth's magnetosphere during the same period of the quake flurry.
Just
two weeks ago 2018 was on course to register the lowest count of
major quakes this century.
A flurry
of major quakes has been registered in a two week period when a
massive coronal disturbance on our Sun has ejected a stream of solar
wind from two giant holes on our Sun's atmosphere.
Today's major quake bring the total in August to 19, easily the most in one month this year with the annual total to 70 so far.
