A M6.2 earthquake struck offshore southern Chile earlier today. The location: near a triple junction, where the spreading center dividing the Nazca and Antarctic Plates subducts beneath South America. What's going on down there?

Did you feel the M4.8 earthquake in Hawaii a few hours ago? It is part of a long-lived swarm, thought to be associated with a surge of magma intruding below the island.
We wrote about the swarm last February, when a M5.7 quake occurred in the same area: doi.org/10.62481/d846ea76

If you’re still on the fence about voting in this election, think about what really matters – about the values we were taught, the kind of country we want to be, and how this is a moment when your vote really does count.
Your vote could determine the fate of our republic – the world that our children and grandchildren will inherit. It’s an awesome responsibility. But what an extraordinary privilege it is to live in a democracy that gives each of us the opportunity to make our voices heard.

A M6 earthquake struck offshore Oregon yesterday, causing light shaking.
Although the Pacific Northwest does face the threat of great earthquakes from the Cascadia subduction zone, this earthquake was on a different fault, and was not dangerous.

A M4.7 earthquake in Death Valley this morning caused light shaking - one of the biggest quakes ever recorded in the valley.
We look at the data, and find that none of the mapped faults really seem to match. Is there a hidden fault beneath Death Valley?

On October 21, a M5.8 earthquake struck the Molucca Sea, Indonesia.
We've avoiding writing about these kinds of earthquakes, because the area is so complicated, but this time we decided to take a stab at it.

A M6 earthquake on the East Anatolian Fault shook eastern Türkiye today, causing light damage and reviving memories of the 2023 sequence.
How does this event fit into the bigger picture of recent earthquakes on this dangerous fault?
