Earthquake hazard assessments for the Tokyo Region are complicated by the trench–trench triple junction where the oceanic Philippine Sea Plate not only underthrusts a continental plate but is also being subducted by the Pacific Plate. Great thrust earthquakes and associated tsunamis are historically....

Multiple large and destructive tsunamis in the past few decades in the Indian Ocean (2004), Chile (2010), and Japan (2011) have underscored the threat that tsunamis pose to coastal regions, ushering in a new era of research aimed at better predicting areas threatened by the fast-developing natural disasters.

The team's ground-breaking discovery represents a new and unconsidered seismic risk for Japan with implications for countries lining the Pacific Rim, including Canada. Pilarczyk points to low-lying areas like Delta, Richmond and Port Alberni as potentially vulnerable to tsunamis originating from this region.

Peru: Magnitude-5.0 offshore earthquake occurs west of Ica Region, Peru at around 00:06 Sept. 3

2021-09-03T08:28+0200

Event. A magnitude-5.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of the Ica region, Peru, at around 00:06 Sept. 3. The epicenter was about 58 km (26 miles) south-southwest of Paracas. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 11 km (7 miles), and light shaking was likely felt throughout Ica, Huancavelica, Ayacucho, and southern Lima regions.
