Significant quakes along Kuril–Kamchatka Trench consistent with probability of large earthquake in the region
FIRE-EARTH Forecast: The M6.5, M6.0 earthquakes could be foreshocks to large earthquake(s), measuring magnitude 9.2 (±0.2), that could occur along Kuril–Kamchatka Trench (near Zenkevich Rise) by early next year.
- The latest earthquakes could also unleash “tsunamis of volcanism” throughout Kamchatka Peninsula and along the Kuril Islands.
- About 150 volcanoes in the Russia region have erupted since the Holocene, the current geological epoch (~ 11,650 cal years before present).
