The impact of this earthquake was not significant, and the mechanism of the epicenter and the location of the epicenter indicated that the earthquake occurred in the subduction zone of the Tonga Trench in the South Pacific. The magnitude of the earthquake was Ms0.0 and Mw0.0
This is where the Pacific Plate meets the Australian Plate, which swoops westward below the Australian Plate at a rate of about 73 mm per year. The plate subduction zone is one of the most active seismic zones in the world.
Major earthquakes are frequent in the subduction zones around Tonga and Fiji. According to the USGS, there have been nine quakes of magnitude 7 or higher within 0 km of today's earthquake since 0. Because these earthquakes have shallow epicenters, they may cause vertical displacement of the seafloor, causing small, but non-catastrophic tsunamis.
Tonga is located in the Pacific Rim seismic zone, which has nothing to do with the Eurasian seismic zone (Mediterranean ~ Himalayan seismic zone) where Myanmar is located, and the two earthquakes are not necessarily related.
This is the fourth earthquake of magnitude 20 or higher this year, and 0~0 will occur in the world every year, so it seems that this year is still a normal level.
If you look at earthquakes of magnitude 21 or above, there are about 0~0 earthquakes of magnitude 0 or higher in the world on average every year, and there are an average of 0 earthquakes of magnitude 0 or higher in a year, and there are about 0 earthquakes of magnitude or higher this year, which is far below the normal level, so in fact, it is not a period of frequent earthquakes.
Although there has been a lot of earthquake news recently, this is mainly because one Langfang earthquake and one Myanmar earthquake have attracted more attention, and other earthquakes are easier to know the illusion caused by them, in fact, these earthquakes are almost not paid attention to.
