The devastating earthquake that hit Myanmar last month has displaced tens of thousands and left the conflict-hit country in urgent need of large-scale debris removal, the United Nations said Monday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/15/asia-pacific/debris-quake-myanmar-un/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #un #earthquakes #myanmar #southeastasia

"Der menschengemachte Klimawandel wird weltweit zu mehr & teils stärkeren Erdbeben führen durch fortschreitenden Anstieg des Meeresspiegels weltweit sowie die zunehmende Stärke extremer Wetterereignisse wie Stürmen. Beides erhöht den mechanischen Druck im Gefüge tektonischer Platten & führt zu Änderungen in den seismischen Zyklen – steigender Erdbebengefahr v.a. in den Küstenregionen der Welt."

#Earthquakes cannot be predicted. For an #earthquake prediction to be meaningful, it has to specify a time, location & magnitude range that is unlikely to occur randomly. This is currently impossible. Learn more in this video from @EarthScope_sci

They had a bunch of earthquakes by San Diego just now.
The biggest seems to have been a 5.2 by Julian, CA (the magnitude estimate was being adjusted continuously in the past few minutes, which is good, because had something bigger than that on Google and USGS earlier).
Lots of smaller follow-up quakes in Julian, too.
