    “🔍 For the first time, scientists have observed seafloor spreading in real time.
    Seafloor spreading is the process by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges - a geological process that has shaped entire ocean basins over millions of years.
    During a research expedition in the Indian Ocean, scientists had just deployed a suite of instruments when a series of earthquakes triggered a seafloor spreading event, allowing them to observe the process as it unfolded.
    The findings offer rare new insights into how new oceanic crust forms and how the seafloor continues to evolve…”

    “Earth’s outermost layer - the crust - is constantly renewing itself. It’s broken into giant chunks called tectonic plates that pull apart, push against or slide past one another, creating grand geologic features.
    Underwater mountain ranges, or mid-ocean ridges, for instance, generally take shape where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. Magma can then bubble up in between, solidifying and turning into new oceanic crust as part of a process called seafloor spreading. Although the phenomenon has created entire ocean basins, it remains quite mysterious because it happens so deep in the water.
    Now, for the first time, scientists have observed this dynamic activity happening in real time. They describe their findings - and their stroke of luck - in a study [link above], shedding light on a mechanism that made roughly two-thirds of Earth’s crust…”

    Thoughts and light to those in #Caracas , #Venezuela and proximity. Sadly these are mass casualty events. Japan has had close in time events also but less severe, as has the US pacific coast and inland. It takes time to derive correlation from shock swarms to determine propagation and observables. The #weather (and weather like) element in #Seismicity is much more challenging and vexing than predictions we are already pretty good at . Rain is probably in the forecast

    2/n…there is something else totally unrelated to that last but even more bizarre. I’ve seen several papers over the course of two weeks now involving recent #Earthquakes, #Seismicity interactions, #Volcanism and plate boundaries, two of which involve having to lift one’s jaw off the floor. These are not simulations or predictions . They are papers on data, measurements and observations post the recent events they refer to in #Japan, the #Philippines and elsewhere. Taken together they point to…

    1/2 Keep an Eye and a Half on The Planet Dept : #SpaceWeather, #Seismicity, #Volcanism, #WeatherExtrema, #TidalExtrema.
    We are primed for unusual coinciding strangeness. That sounds about as far from a scientific statement as you can make.
    The danger is that with all the other ongoing geopolitical drama and noise we miss opportunities where otherwise we’d have gotten people out of the way. Adults need to be minding the store. Even if that rules out the #US entirely at this point…

    Do large surface creep events link to deeper earthquakes?

    Huang et al.'s research on the Calaveras Fault suggests that structural controls are more important than surface creep transients in driving seismicity.

    Research Article: JGR Solid Earth, AGU agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co
    Philippe Danré and al.

    The evolution of #fluid injection-induced seismicity, generally characterized through the number of events or their seismic moment, depends on, among other factors, the injected fluid volume. Migration of #seismicity is observed during those sequences and might be caused by a range of mechanisms...
