The basic you must know before, during, and after your place shakes. The land or the sea shake. It’s a fact that a quake breaks out everyday and every moment. Some are perceived by the human being, other don’t. we can’t avoid the process to happen. The fear and the questions appear almost immediately. Here we are going to take the most frequent ones, so answering them from a scientific perspective.   How do the quakes happen? The soil where we are onto seems to be an only  solid block, but it’s actually thousands of pieces floating over millions of liters of melted rock due to high pressure. Take many objects to float in a case, they could touch, crash, or embed, and every scenario’s cause transmits in waves. Let’s bring that figure out to the colossal size of the Earth . When some of those pieces interact violently to another, it breaks out a vibration we experience like a shake. Or like we call it technically – a quake . The scientists call it seism , but it des...

The quakes have a sort of weak point – the science learned how to take advantage of it.   By Nelson Peñaherrera Castillo     SANTA MARÍA DE NIEVA, Peru – On November 28th, 2021, 5:52 PET (1052 GMT), a 7.5 magnitude quake shook Barranca District, Datem del Marañón Province , Loreto Department – it was mostly felt in the Peruvian Northern’s third and 19 of 24 provinces in Ecuador. A portion of Colombian Southern and a piece of Brasilian Western also felt the shake. A 3-year-old boy passed away, there were dozens of wounded, more than thousand injured, and such other damaged or unhabitable buildings.   Peru’s Geophysical Institute (IGP, as its initials in Spanish), the official bureau watching and reporting if a quake happens, launched a notification on the social media just 8 minutes after many people jumped out their beds in the most occidental portion of South America. The information came from Santa María de Nieva, Amazonas Department, 60 miles to...

A 6.1 magnitude event shook the whole Piura Department, and this is what the science knows up to now.   By Nelson Peñaherrera Castillo   Peru is SHAKING! Magnitude 6.1 Earthquake in Sullana, Peru - YouTube   SOJO, Peru – On July 30 th , 2021, noon, it was goin to be another winter-else, sunshine.

Just ten minutes after the zenith (1710 GMT), the land under the capital of Miguel Checa District , Sullana Province , shook without a sense and violently.   At a spot, 25 miles under the surface of rock, sand, and pulverized clay, two huge pressing landmasses, maybe 3300 feet thickness, shocked one each other and started a list of focused events in a portion running from  Marcavelica District , just the north of Miguel Checa, and going to the border of provinces Sullana and Piura, at ...

A tsunami that put in alert the whole Pacific was not officially warned in Peru – it caused a chain of disasters.   By Nelson Peñaherrera Castillo     FONOAFO’OU, Tonga – On Saturday, January 15 th , 2020, 17:27 Tonga Kingdom Time (0527 GMT), the Hunga Tonga -Hunga Ha’apai Volcano erupted twice in the 1-day lapse causing its structure to collapse into the sea, affecting immediately that South Pacific islander nation.   The column of wáter steam, ashes, and gases got to rise up to 15 miles toward the atmosphere. It was so massive that the Japanese satellite Himawari-8 could capture the cloud caused by the blast as well as the shock waves it generated, even.   According to KNTV station, operating in san Francisco Bay Area, California, the blast power was such as it altered the atmospheric pressure values across the Pacific Ocean – wee are talking about 5318 miles length between that Polinesia sector and that U.S. West Coast portion. ...
