The Swiss Seismological Service (German: Schweizerischer Erdbebendienst (SED), French: Service sismologique suisse, Italian: Servizio sismico svizzero, Romansh: Servizi da terratrembels svizzer) at ETH Zurich is the federal agency responsible for monitoring earthquakes in Switzerland and its neighboring countries and for assessing Switzerland's seismic hazard.
1962. 1967. 1989. 1992. 2020. This is a list of moderate to large earthquakes that have occurred in Utah. Only earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.0 or greater are listed. Aftershocks are not included, unless they were of great significance or contributed to a death toll. Earthquakes occur frequently in Utah, though they tend to be small (below a ...
Erdbebenkreuz ("Earthquake cross") in Reinach. The 1356 Basel earthquake is the most significant seismological event to have occurred in Central Europe in recorded history [1] and had a moment magnitude in the range of 6.0–7.1. [2] This earthquake, which occurred on 18 October 1356, is also known as the Sankt-Lukas-Tag Erdbeben [3] (English ...
The largest was a 5.9 M w. The 1946 Valais earthquake struck on 25 January at 17:32 local time with an epicenter region in Sierre, near the capital city of Sion in Valais, a canton in Switzerland. The earthquake had an estimated moment magnitude (M w ) of 6.2 and a maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of VIII ( Severe ).
The 1584 Aigle earthquake occurred on 11 March at 23:00–23:30 local time in Switzerland. The earthquake had a moment magnitude of 5.9–6.4 and maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of VIII ( Severe ). The shock generated a tsunami in Lake Geneva. It was followed by 25 aftershocks in the following days. An aftershock on 14 March triggered a ...
Basel, Switzerland sits atop a historically active fault and most of the city was destroyed in a magnitude 6.5 earthquake in 1356. But the Basel project, although it had established an operational approach for addressing induced earthquakes, had not performed a thorough seismic risk assessment before starting geothermal stimulation.
Several injured. At 7:09 AM MDT on March 18, 2020, a 5.7 magnitude earthquake hit Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, with an epicenter 6 km (3.7 mi) north-northeast of Magna, Utah, [1] beneath the site of the planned Utah Inland Port. It was the first major earthquake to occur within the Salt Lake Valley since the city was founded, [5] the ...
