Earthquake model successfully forecasts location of August 3 magnitude 6.8 event
POSTED ON AUGUST 27, 2024 BY TEMBLOR
The earthquake that struck offshore eastern Mindanao in the southern Philippines on August 3, 2024 resulted from renewed movement of an extinct fracture zone subducting into Earth’s mantle. That movement along the subduction zone was responsible for a magnitude 7.4 event that occurred eight months earlier
