Strong shallow earthquake of magnitude 6.2 hits off Tonga

A strong earthquake has hit off the Pacific island nation of Tonga, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude 6.2 quake hit Saturday evening at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles).

The quake struck 98 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Pangai, Tonga.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has not issued a warning.

Tonga is prone to earthquakes and sits on the "Ring of Fire," the arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's quakes and volcanic activity occur.

Last week we looked at the state of our planet...Two-thirds of all animal and insects extinct by 2020: Dying oceans fish replaced by plastic: One in five of the world's plant species threatened.

Today we will see the incredible rise of major quakes since 1900 and the mindblowing fact these statistics are not mentioned on MSM or even mentioned by our religious leaders, below is the famous quote from Jesus to His disciples...

Luke 21: 10,11. Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.

Major 6.8 magnitude earthquake jolts Norwegian volcanic island in Arctic Ocean

A strong earthquake has hit by a Norwegian volcanic island called Jan Mayen in the Arctic Ocean, measuring 6.8 on the Richter Scale.

The quake took place 10km deep and 722km from Akureyri, Iceland.There is no yet known information of whether the quake has disrupted the island's volcanic activity.

The earthquake struck at 1:49am GMT and its epicentre was in a remote area of the ocean around 253 miles east of Ittoqqortoormitt in Greenland.

The force caused local waves to appear in the Greenland Sea.

However, the US Tsunami Warning System said it is not expected to cause a tsunami in more populated areas.

The island is mountainous, the largest mountain being the volcano Beerenberg in the northeast.

It is the world's northernmost active volcano that is not underwater.

California struck by 39 earthquakes in 24 hrs, scientists observe 'movement along the San Andreas Fault'

A series of large earthquakes has rattled California over the last 24 hours, and scientists are telling us that the shaking was the result of "movement along the San Andreas Fault system". In recent months there has been an alarming amount of seismic activity all along "the Ring of Fire", and there have been times when the number of global earthquakes has been way above normal. Could it be possible that all of this unusual seismic activity is leading up to something? As you will see below, experts are telling us that we are overdue for the "Big One" to hit California. And when it does eventually strike, it could be far worse than most people would dare to imagine.

Most of the 39 significant earthquakes that have struck California within the last 24 hours have happened along the San Andreas Fault. The following comes from CBS News...

A swarm of earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault, the largest measuring a 4.1 magnitude, rumbled through the Hollister area and the Salinas Valley Friday morning. CBS San Francisco, citing officials, reports the quakes rattled nerves but caused no major damage.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the 4.1 quake hit at 5:58 a.m. PDT 12 miles southwest of the small community of Tres Pinos. It was followed by quakes measuring 3.6, 3.2 and 3.0.

The center of the earthquake was at a depth of 603 km (374 miles). Some 35,379,000 people are estimated to have felt weak tremors.

A powerful 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck the north of Chile, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.

The quake was registered at 22:19 GMT on Thursday, 118 kilometers (73 miles) to the northeast of the coastal city of Iquique.

The epicenter of the earthquake was located at the depth of 91 kilometers.

There have been no immediate reports about casualties or damage caused by the quake.

The 24 Horas news outlet noted that the tremors provoked the mass exodus of people from Iquique beaches, adding that no tsunami warning had been issued.

Comment: There has been an uptick in seismic activity recently. Some related articles from around the world recently include:

M6.2 earthquake strikes New Zealand's North Island, disrupts parliament session

A powerful 6.2 earthquake has struck New Zealand, some 64 kilometers east of the town of Waitara, and was felt all across the island nation, including the capital city of Wellington.

No tsunami warning was issued by the nation's Civil Defence. So far there have also been no reports of damage or casualties caused by the tremors, which locals say lasted for about a minute.

However, the jolts which struck the country shortly after 3:00pm local time have led the Parliament to suspend its session.

"I never thought I'd have to do that, suspend the House until we find out what's happened," deputy speaker Anne Tolley said, according to local news. "There were public in the galleries and people need to just make sure their staff are OK. I mean we're in the safest building probably in the country - but just to make sure and get some advice."
