Mw 7.0 Flores Sea

updated 24 September 2024

report

On 27 February 2015 a major earthquake occurred at the Flores Sea at a depth of 548 km. The seismic event occurred at 13:45:05 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.0.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of critical planetary geometry on 22 February 2015.

On 22 February a near convergence of two planetary conjunctions occurred. The first conjunction involved Earth, Venus and Mars. The second conjunction 10 hours later involved Mercury, the Sun and Venus.

A critical lunar conjunction with Saturn occurred on 25 February, two days before the major earthquake.
