¿Qué tan frecuentes son los sismos en Asia?

La Asia tiene un nivel muy alto de actividad sísmica. Según datos de los últimos 25 años y nuestro archivo de terremotos con datos desde 1900, hay alrededor de 120,000 terremotos en promedio por año en Asia. La Asia ha tenido al menos 3 terremotos arriba magnitud 9 desde 1900, lo que sugiere que los terremotos más grandes de este tamaño ocurren con poca frecuencia, probablemente en promedio aproximadamente cada 40 a 45 años.

¿Cuántos terremotos ocurren cada año en Asia?

En promedio, se producen alrededor de 25,000 sismos de magnitud 3 o superior al año (Mag 4+: 10,000 sismos por año, Mag 5+: 945 sismos por año, Mag 6+: 76 sismos por año).

2024 ago 17: An explosive eruption of the lava dome 300 years RAS of the Sheveluch volcano continues. Explosions sent ash up to 4.5-5 km a.s.l., and ash plume extended about 1520 km to the east-south-east from the volcano. Start time of explosion and how determined: 20240817/1145Z – Satellite data (reference #13823) According to media, as of 18 August, the strong earthquake triggered the eruption of the Shiveluch volcano causing an ash plume of 9,000m and an ashfall in the Ust-Kamchatsk village in the Ust-Kamchatsk district, in the eastern Kamchatka (Far Eastern Federal District). (reference #13819) The explosive eruption of the volcano probably ended, but extrusive eruptions from the two centers near the Karan lava dome (the lava domes 300 years of the RAS and a New) continues. Clouds obscured the volcano at now. Satellite data by KVERT shows a 1900 long ash cloud continues to drift to the east of the volcano, its front part at 19:20 UTS on 18 August was at a distance of more than 2400 km from the volcano. KVERT continues to monitor of the Sheveluch volcano. An extrusive eruption of Sheveluch volcano continues.

Remark:

Our list of volcanic eruptions closely follows the database of eruptions of the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project (GVP), the internationally most recognized data source for volcanic eruptions, but also includes significant eruptive episodes or related volcano events. "Volcanic eruptions" are usually to be understood as sequences of individual eruptive episodes that can follow each other, or even overlap (if several vents are involved), and can last many years, decades or even longer. For example, the current activity of Stromboli volcano is understood as a single eruption that has been ongoing since 1934.
