Very strong magnitude 7.6 earthquake 80 km northwest of Lae, Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea was shaken near Lae, Morobe Province, by an earthquake of magnitude 7.6 31 minutes ago, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 61.4 km beneath the epicenter near Lae, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, in the morning on Sunday, September 11th, 2022, at 9:46 am local time. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
A second report was later issued by Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), which listed it as a magnitude 7.4 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include Geoscience Australia (GeoAu) at magnitude 7.6, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 7.6, France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 7.1, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 7.6, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 7.6.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy. ...
