Myanmar shaken by 5.9 magnitude earthquake
November 21, 2011 - GUWAHATI – An earthquake measuring 5.9on the Richter scale rocked India’s northeast, Myanmar and Bangladesh on Monday, triggering panic among people. The tremor was felt at 8.47 am in most parts of Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur, besides in Bangladesh and Myanmar. The epicenter was located at 24.947°N, 95.226°E in Myanmar, about 130 km east of Manipur capital Imphal, the website of US Geological Survey said. Seven northeastern states – Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur – are considered by seismologists to be the sixth most earthquake-prone belt in the world. The region experienced one of the worst earthquakes, measuring 8.7 on the Richter scale, in 1897, that claimed the lives of over 1,600 people. In September, more than 50 people died after a killer quake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale shook the region. –Times of India

Mexico’s Popocatepetl volcano expels 5 km ash cloud in violent explosion
November 20, 2011 – MEXICO CITY - Mexico’s Popocatepetl volcano spewed a burst of ash 3 miles (5 kilometers) into the air after magma broke through a dome of lava. Mexico’s National Disaster Prevention Center says Sunday’s explosion continues a series of moderate eruptions from the 17,886-foot (5,450-meter) volcano 40 miles (65 kilometers) southeast of the Mexican capital. The Disaster center says the volcano has been emitting small but steady streams of steam and gas since Friday. Mexico City Civil Protection Director Elias Moreno told Foro Television that there were no reports of danger or of ash falling on nearby communities. Popocatepetl has been erupting intermittently since December 1994.

Fourth moderate earthquake strikes off coast of North Island New Zealand in 3 days
November 21, 2011 – AUCKLAND, NZ – A 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is the fourth moderate earthquake to rattle the region in three days. The epicenter of the earthquake was 154 km (95 miles) NE of Gisborne, New Zealand, 393 miles from Auckland and 556 km from Wellington. On November 18th, a spasm of earthquakes erupted along this same tectonic boundary between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates including 5.2 and 5.7foreshocks, followed by a stronger 6.0 magnitude earthquake. Today’s 5.1 magnitude earthquake was the shallowest earthquake yet in the series- erupting only some 2.5 km below the ocean floor. No tsunami warnings were issued for today’s tremor. –The Extinction Protocol
