This is a massive 8.8 M earthquake
triggering dangerous tsunami along the west pacific. We are seeing videos of serious
damages as ocean surges meanwhile there are reports of 6 point range aftershocks
which in itself is quite big. This can create extensive damage.
In a moment world can change, we live on the edge of chaos. Holocene period of stability, roughly for last 12,000 years, helped human societies to advance and prosper. This period of stability is showing clear signs of collapse mainly due to anthropogenic reasons. Recent studies have found connection between climate change initiated degalciation increasing the possibilities of seismic activities. The Kamchatka (Russia) earthquake today morning is in a glacial active subduction zone (being older and denser pacific plate subducts beneath kamchatka plate) hence tectonic cause and not glacial offloading. Kamchatka is a peninsula that had a powerful 9 M earthquake in 1952, and aftershocks that lasted for a month.
