Decided to head down to my local station Hensall to do a few test shots with the new camera, Hensall's still trapped in the 1950's with period BR Colour Signaling and LNER Miscellaneous such as these fire buckets. I should visit more often really I have a lovely Country Station on my doorstep that I barley use!
This seismogram is from the Nana seismic station in Peru. The noise is from a magnitude 6.5 earthquake in far-western Brazil. The quake occurred at 4:38 AM, local time, on 28 January 2024. The epicenter was 66 to 67 kilometers ~west of the town of Tarauacá, Brazil. The hypocenter was well within the mantle, about 610 kilometers deep, a very considerable depth. Such events are called deep-focus earthquakes. This was in a known zone of deep earthquakes related to deformation within the subducted Nazca Plate.
A magnitude 6.6 earthquake occurred in the same region and the ~same depth 7.5 days earlier.

An earthquake is a natural shaking or vibrating of the Earth caused by sudden fault movement and a rapid release of energy. Earthquake activity is called "seismicity". The study of earthquakes is called "seismology". The actual underground location of an earthquake is the hypocenter, or focus. The site at the Earth's surface, directly above the hypocenter, is the epicenter. Minor earthquakes may occur before a major event - such small quakes are called foreshocks. Minor to major quakes after a major event are aftershocks.
Most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries, such as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, collision zones, and transform plate boundaries. They also occur at hotspots - large subsurface mantle plumes (Examples: Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, Afar).
Earthquakes generate four types of shock waves: P-waves, S-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and S-waves are body waves - they travel through solid rocks. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only at the surface - they are surface waves. P-waves are push-pull waves that travel quickly and cause little damage. S-waves are up-and-down waves (like flicking a rope) that travel slowly and cause significant damage. Love waves are side-to-side surface waves, like a slithering snake. Rayleigh waves are rotational surface waves, somewhat like ripples from tossing a pebble into a pond.
Earthquakes are associated with many specific hazards, such as ground shaking, ground rupturing, subsidence (sinking), uplift (rising), tsunamis, landslides, fires, and liquefaction.
Some famous major earthquakes in history include: Shensi, China in 1556; Lisbon, Portugal in 1755; New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812; San Francisco, California in 1906; Anchorage, Alaska in 1964; and Loma Prieta, California in 1989.
Striking municipal workers in Bonfield, Ontario, members of CUPE Local 4616, received a strong show of support on Thursday, when CUPE National President Paul Moist, CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn and Ontario Federation of Labour President Sid Ryan joined them for a solidarity rally.
"I don't know how long this dispute will go on... but we will last one day longer than you to get a collective agreement," Brother Moist said, directing his comment at Bonfield Mayor Randy McLaren.
The 16 members were forced into a defensive strike on August 1 to fight off concessions, including the threat of contracting-out services. On Tuesday, the mayor fired five of the workers without cause. There will be no settlement unless those five members are reinstated, Brother Moist said.
"These workers are not going to bow to his bullying tactics whether it be trying to force a collective agreement or by trying to intimidate them by unjustly firing people," said Brother Hahn. "All that is doing is uniting them and uniting the rest of our movement around them and in fact it will unite the people of this community against him."
CUPE leaders from the North Bay area will meet on September 23 (click for flyer) to discuss the Bonfield situation and hold a solidarity barbeque. CUPE Ontario and the Ontario Federation of Labour are also mobilizing for a mass labour rally for October 5.
