This most recent #Fiji M7.0 earthquake is not as close to the bottom of the local #intraslab seismicity as the previous deep #earthquakes a few days ago.
(note that the focal #mechanisms are projected onto the vertical cross section)
The #Tonga/#Fiji #earthquake sequence is not done yet! Another very deep M7.0 #quake today, 100s of km North of the previous deep events in the region a few days ago.
A significant sequence of #earthquakes occurred this week in the #Tonga-Fiji #subduction zone. First several events at great depths (600+ km) within the subducted slab, then today a very different type of event: a deep compressional outer rise earthquake. I have plotted these four earthquakes on this map in the context of historical #seismicity.
Since there was interest, I have set up a Google Form/Sheet for Earth Scientists on Mastodon.

High resolution (2 meters) Pleiades DEM allowed quantitative analysis of the flights of marine terraces marking Kythira island coast.
Thanks to CNES Isis program which provided us with the Pleiades imagery.

Just moving from Twitter to Mastodon, and learning how to use it. Will keep the two accounts alive, at least for some time…
