A shallow magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported in the evening near Hualien City, Hualien County, Taiwan.According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Thursday, March 12th, 2026, at 8:14 pm local time at a shallow depth of 20.19 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same…
A towering pillar of gas and ash ingested air and other ejecta rising from Shiveluch's crater (image: KVERT)On 11 March, the volcano showed dramatic activity. A strong eruption generated a dense grey ash plume, which reached approx. 27,000 ft (8,200 m) altitude and drifted to the east. This is highly likely might mean that the ongoing growing lava dome has been destroyed.

The lava flow development at Piton de la Fournaise since the eruption commenced (image: Sentinel-2)On 10 March, the main lava flow front stalled about a kilometre from the national road, likely due to a sudden — and brief — drop in eruptive output. But this lull didn’t last long, and the flow quickly picked up speed again. Yesterday, at about 4:30 local time, it was only 700 meters from the road, and by noon, it had closed the gap to just 360 meters. That’s an average advance of roughly 50 meters per hour in recent hours. Its progression isn’t perfectly steady, since the front moves forward through a series of short‑lived breakout flows fed by the lava tunnel extending downslope.…
An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred around noon on Thursday, March 12th, 2026, at 12:14 pm local time near Trikala, Thessaly, Greece, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.6 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include…
