Huge July 2025 Kamchatka earthquake followed unusually productive foreshock sequence - Temblor.net A large foreshock that struck 10 days before the magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake brought the epicentral megathrust patch closer to failure and produced an exceptionally abundant burst of aftershock...

Temblor's analysis of the July 2025 magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka quake explores some mysteries (a moderate tsunami, a curious eruption), and finds that the 10-day foreshock was exceptionally productive.

The Earthquake Event Page application supports most recent browsers, view supported browsers. Or, try our Real-time Notifications, Feeds, and Web Services.

After the mainshock, aftershocks commenced, including a magnitude 6.9 event.

These earthquakes result from subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the westernmost part of the North American Plate (also known as the Okhotsk Plate). For more information, please visit the USGS event page. (3/end)

This earthquake is among the strongest ever recorded, ranking in the top 10. On July 20, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake preceded the mainshock. Since then, 3 magnitude 6.6 earthquakes have occurred, as well as more than 50 events greater than or equal to magnitude 5, and dozens of smaller events. (2/n)

Around 11:30 am local time, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the offshore Kamchatka region at a depth of about 20 kilometers. The subduction zone quake caused severe shaking on the Kamchatka peninsula and triggered tsunami warnings and advisories around the Pacific. (1/n)

Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America.

By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. πŸ§ͺ
