Yemen Earthquakes
What is going on off of the coast of Yemen?! More than 30 strong earthquakes ranging from magnitude 4.5 to 5.4
have rattled under the sea where the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea meet
at a point off of Yemen. The depths have been mostly around 10km, with a few deeper. A closer
look reveals something that appears highly unusual. That is, so far 20
of the earthquakes have been at a depth of exactly 10.0 km. This earthquake swarm is occurring right now, and is happening right
in the middle of major oil and freight transit sea lanes, the busiest in
the world. Stay tuned and check back for more details and graphics as this unfolds…
There has been a tremendous number of earthquakes that began early during 14-Nov, and are ongoing at this moment.
Yemen Earthquake Swarm, closeup view, Gulf of Aden
The first earthquake occurred at 06:29, 14-Nov-2010 as a magnitude 4.6. Just 3 minutes later, boom, a magnitude 5.4. Subsequent earthquakes
have been shaking the ocean floor, some only minutes apart, and some
just seconds apart. The earthquake swarm location is at a tectonic
plate boundary region where the Arabia plate meets the Somalia plate
and the Nubia plate. A string of volcanoes are in the vicinity.
Update, 15-Nov, 04:00 UTC,
they just keep on coming… 39 by my last count. Amazing. I wonder
exactly where, and how deep the oil and gas fields are in the region,
and what affect or hazard that an undersea volcanic eruption would
present to that region.
Yemen Earthquake Swarm – Depths
What seems out of the ordinary, is how so many of the earthquakes
have been at a 10 km depth. It’s as though there is a rift there, at
that plane. The more recent earthquakes have varied a bit deeper, while
there is one shallow 2.4 km event.
Update, 15-Nov, 1500 UTC,
three additional earthquakes rumbled near magnitude 5 within 30 minutes
of each other, bringing the current total count up to 42. Location map
and depth chart have been updated.
Tectonics
The earthquake swarm just off the southeast coast of Yemen is actually located on the Aden Ridge.
This ridge separates the Arabian Plate and the Somalia Plate (Somalia
Plate is a subplate of the African Plate). The ridge itself is pulling
apart (a divergent boundary).
During 2005 in an area just 400 km from the current Aden Ridge
earthquakes, a 35 mile stretch of land suddenly ripped open in Ethopia
as two parts of the African continent pulled apart.
Not long after, a University of Rochester study, apparently published
in an issue of Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that boundaries
along the edges of tectonic ocean plates may suddenly break apart in
large sections, instead of little by little as has been predominantly
believed.
Could the earthquake swarm that we are witnessing, be a precursor to an undersea tear in the Gulf of Aden Ridge? Time will tell. Look at this image showing the tectonic plate boundary and see how a
larger cluster of earthquakes occurred to the north on the Arabian
Plate, while a smaller group occurred on the Somalian Plate. Both are
pulling away from each other, and the trench can be seen on the sea
floor.
Here is a different view, showing more of a topographical map structure under the sea, and Gulf of Aden.
Volcanoes
The following image shows the location of all volcanoes nearby. There
are so many that it nearly looks like Indonesia over on the Ring of
Fire.
Update, 15-Nov, 21:30 Pacific, (UTC – 8:00),
although less frequent during day #2 then day #1, this does not appear
to be over yet. Expect new updates and maps in the morning.
Update, 16-Nov, 07:30 Pacific, (UTC – 8:00),
total earthquakes from swarm equal 46, and activity has definitely
subsided. We’ll see how it goes today. Whoops, minutes after typing
this, there goes another (magnitude 4.8 at 9.8 km depth), so make that
47 so far.
Update, 17-Nov, 07:30 Pacific, (UTC – 8:00), there have a total of 47 earthquakes in the swarm, which appears to have stopped.
-
Day 1, 37 earthquakes
-
Day 2, 7 earthquakes
-
Day 3, 3 earthquakes
Update, 18-Nov, 07:30 Pacific (UTC – 8:00),
activity has not yet ceased. There were no earthquakes during the 17th,
however 2 additional quakes so far during the 18th has brought the
total number to 49. The depth map and closeup location map above should
now be updated.
-
Day 4, 0 earthquakes
-
Day 5, 2 earthquakes
Update, 20-Nov, 08:30 Pacific (UTC – 8:00), after a quiet period, one more popped today at 9.8 km depth.
- Day 6, 0 earthquakes
- Day 7, 2 earthquakes
Update, 21-Nov, 13:00 Pacific (UTC – 8:00), it hasn’t given up yet… one more yesterday, and so far one more today.
Update, 24-Nov,
although the swarm frequency of occurrence is negligible at this time,
after 2 quiet days, another earthquake at 10 km depth brings the total
to 53.
- Day 9, 0 earthquakes
- Day 10, 0 earthquakes
- Day 11, 1 earthquake
Update, 25-Nov, two more today, so far, 10 and 11 km.
Update, 30-Nov, after five days of quiet, the deepest quake so far popped at magnitude 4.6, depth 18.2 km.
Update, 5-Dec, 1 today, 9.5 km depth, magnitude 4.6
Here is a map of the Yemen – Gulf of Aden earthquakes which shows
more specific location detail. Many of the earthquakes seem to form a
pattern, the way I see it. I drew lines connecting the earthquakes that
appeared related in some way. Again, it’s just the way my eye sees it.
Interesting.
An unusual earthquake event occurred off the coast of Yemen,
underneath the Gulf of Aden during the month of November. The initial
earthquake swarm rapidly ramped up during 14-Nov, while subsequent
earthquakes rumbled on, even as late as 11-Dec.
The swarm event seemed unusual in that the majority of the earthquake
depths during the first day were pin-pointed at 10 km, some of them
10.1 km below the seafloor of the Gulf of Aden. The earthquakes that
followed did not vary too far from this depth. The account of that event
with maps and graphs can be viewed here, Major Earthquake Swarm off Yemen.
Initial explanations regarding the consistent 10 km depth included the
notion that the USGS data will default to 10 km, “if they are not sure”.
I find difficulty in subscribing to that theory because of the very
accurate capabilities that exist in seismology today with accurate
seismograph instruments scattered all around the world, which are
triangulated and cross-checked with computer precision. All earthquake
depths are resolved to the one-tenth kilometer, and displayed as such.
Some thought that perhaps magma was moving along channels, perhaps
building up stress with threat of an undersea eruption. There certainly
are numerous known volcanoes very close by within the region, mainly to
the west.

Isaiah 56:
[7] Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them
joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall
be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house
of prayer for all people.
Philippians 2:
[1] If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of
love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, [2] Fulfill
ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of
one mind. [3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. [4] Look
not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. [5]
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But
made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he
humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9]
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above
every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11]
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father.

Lightning
Fire: Then the LORD caused it to rain upon Sodom
and upon Gomorrah an inflammable sulfurous brimstone and a burning, hot
flaming fire from the LORD Jehovah out of the sky of heaven; And he looked
toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld,
and, lo, a cloud of ashes, smoke and vapor of the land went up as the fume
and smoke of a smelting furnace.---
Thou shall be visited
by the Lord Jehovah of Hosts with a peal of thunder, with earthquake and
vibration, with fierceness, shaking and vapor; and great noise, with whirlwind, storm and tempest and the flash of bright, flaming, devouring, burning
fire.---
and I will rain upon him and upon his army and
crowd of troops, upon many people as a collective unit, that are with him, an
over flowing gush, and conquering overflowing rain, and a great weight of a
peal of hail stones, of a hot, burning, fiery, flaming fire and an inflammable,
sulfur resin of brimstone.---
And I will show a token, a
sign and wonders in the air of the heavens, in the visible arch of the sky,
where the clouds move; and in the field, in the ground, in the wilderness and
throughout all the land of the earth; it will have the appearance of blood
along with a burning, hot, flaming fire; and columns and pillars of clouds, of
angry dust, smoke and vapor.---
For,
behold, the day shall come, it will burn as a furnace, a fire pot and an
oven; and all the arrogant and proud, yes all that do wickedly, will be as
stubble: and the day that comes, shall burn and set them ablaze with a flaming fire,
saith the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root or
branch.---
and there will be great signs of terror and
fearful sights from heaven.---
But, moreover, the same day that
the patriarch Lot went out of Sodom, it rained a lightning fiery fire and a
sulfurous hellish brimstone, from the sky of heaven and destroyed, and caused
them all to perish. Even like and even thus, in the same way and manner,
shall it be, in the day when the Son of Man is disclosed and revealed.---
And I will bring forth a rare event, so extraordinary, it will inspire wonder; for
it will be in the elevated area of the sky, in heaven above and a token and
sign of these events will be throughout the entire regions under the surface of
the soil, of all the land of the world, in the earth beneath; for it will be a
visible wonder of flowing substance like blood and of flashes of lightening and
fire, with a mist of vapor of smoke: The rising of the sun in the east and
the rays of light, will become as an outlining shadow and shall be turned into
darkness, and the bright shining moon, will appear to be a blood red color;
before that great, mighty and notable, visible day of the Lord, the One in
Supreme Authority will come:---
And the sky of heaven rent
apart, departed and separated as a writing scroll when it is rolled
together;---
And he opened up the holes in the ground, the
cisterns and wells of the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the
bottomless pit, from the depthless infernal, from the holes in the ground, in
the manner as the smoke of a great burning, smoking furnace; and the sunlight
as rising in the east and the blowing air from its’ original place was darkened
from the smoke of the holes in the ground, the cisterns, the wells, the abyss
and the pit.---
And thus, I saw the horses in the
inspired appearance of the vision, and them that sat on them, having a chest
and breastplate of flaming red fire; and of jacinth, deep blue; and a yellow
sulfurous-like brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of
lions; and out of their mouths proceeded a lightning fire and smoke and a
sulfurous brimstone. By these three was the stroke, calamity and
plague that caused the third part of human beings to be outright killed and
slain to death, by the lightning fire; and by the smoke, and by the
yellow sulfurous like-brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths.---
and there were bright, glaring, shining lightning; and a
tone of sounds, noises, voices and thundering; and an earthquake, a shaking, a
commotion and tempest; and exceedingly great, large, mighty hail.---
And there were voices and noises, sounds of a tone; and roaring thunders, and
a bright, shining glare, lightning’s; and there was an exceeding great,
large and mighty earthquake and earth-shock; a shaking of the ground, a
commotion and tempest; such as this, so vast of a magnitude; such as was not
since human beings were upon the earth; so mighty an earthquake, and so
exceedingly great, large and mighty, so full of power.---
and there descended and fell upon human beings, a great, large and mighty
hail out of the sky of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent-like:
and human beings blasphemed, defamed and spoke evil of the very exceeding God;
Deity, because of the plague, stroke and calamity of the hail; for the
plague, stroke and calamity thereof was exceeding and vehemently, in high
degree, very great; for it was extremely severe and terrible.
