Violent Supershear Earthquakes Are Much More Common Than ... (SciTechDaily)

Strike-slip earthquakes occur when the edges of two tectonic plates push sideways against one other. Supershear quakes are a subtype of that group that occurs ...

In a previous study, Meng’s research group identified the catastrophic 7.5 magnitude earthquake that hit the Indonesian island of Sulawesi in 2018 as a supershear event. “Early and persistent supershear rupture of the 2018 magnitude 7.5 Palu earthquake” by Han Bao, Jean-Paul Ampuero, Lingsen Meng, Eric J. The shape of the fault, the rocks around it, and other factors can affect the propagation of seismic waves and limit the accumulation of energy. The data revealed supershear earthquakes tend to occur on mature strike-slip faults, in which the edges of two continental plates rub laterally against each other. The technique applies an algorithm to analyze brief time delays between seismic waves as they’re detected by a group of sensors. “Supershear earthquakes are potentially more destructive than other kinds of earthquakes because they are more effective at generating seismic waves, with more shaking, which could cause more damage.”

The total estimated cost of infrastructure damage is around 85 million Philippine pesos (~$1.5 million USD). In Ilocos Norte, the province located to the north of Abra, particularly in the towns of Marcos, Banna, Solsona, Batac and the city of Laoag, some residents reported that the magnitude-6.4 event in October generated stronger ground shaking (higher intensity) than the magnitude-7.0 event in July. Though the calculated fault orientations from the two earthquakes are similar (compressional, thrust pair), the aftershock configurations are distinctly different, suggesting a fault geometry that curves to the right and steepens as it extends northward. The most recent epicenter was located only about 18 kilometers (11 miles) from where the July earthquake struck.

Philippines earthquake: 5.3 magnitude quake strikes off north-east ... (The National)

National Institute for Seismology does not expect any aftershocks nor damage.

Several people were killed after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in the mountainous province of Abra in July. In 1990, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake in the northern Philippines created a ground rupture stretching more than 100km. More than 20 people were injured after a 6.4 magnitude quake struck the north of the country in October.
