United States Geological Survey shake map for the 2019 Luzon earthquake; a maximum Mercalli intensity scale value of 6.6 was observed in Gutad, Floridablanca, Pampanga. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) initially reported an earthquake of magnitude 5.7 striking at 17:11 PST with an epicenter two kilometers N 28° E of Castillejos, Zambales.
Largest. Mw 8.3 1918 Celebes Sea earthquake. Deadliest. M w 8.0 1976 Moro Gulf earthquake 5,000–8,000 killed. The Philippines lies within the zone of complex interaction between several tectonic plates, involving multiple subduction zones and one large zone of strike-slip, all of which are associated with major earthquakes.
The 2019 Eastern Samar Earthquake struck the islands of Visayas in the Philippines on April 23, 2019 at 1:37:51 p.m. ( PST ). [ 3] It had a moment magnitude of 6.5 [ 3] ( M ww 6.4 by USGS) [ 4] and a local magnitude of 6.2 [ 5] with a max intensity of VI based on the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS). [ 3]
The 2019 Cotabato earthquakes were an earthquake swarm which struck the province of Cotabato on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines in October 2019. [6] Three of these earthquakes were above 6.0 on the moment magnitude scale with a Mercalli intensity of VIII. More than 40 people have been reported dead or missing and nearly 800 were ...
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) initially reported a magnitude 6.5 earthquake striking at 8:03 am Philippine Standard Time (PST) in Cataingan, Masbate. [9] The report was later revised to a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. The earthquake was also felt in several parts of Luzon and the Visayas. [6]
However, PHIVOLCS said that it was a separate earthquake. [10] On August 2, 2024, two M ww 6.8 and 6.3 earthquakes occurred within the area of the 2023 sequence. [11] [12] The December 2 earthquake was described as the first major earthquake in the area since a doublet 7.1 and 7.5 earthquake that also produced a tsunami in 1992. [13]
