Mw 7.4 South of Kermadec Islands

updated 27 January 2023

report

On 18 June 2020 a major earthquake occurred south of Kermadec Islands at a depth of 8 km. The seismic event occurred at 12:49:53 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.4.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of critical planetary and lunar geometry from 13 to 17 June 2020.

On 13 June a planetary conjunction with Earth, Mars and Neptune occurred and two strong seismic events occurred on the same day. This planetary geometry allowed for critical lunar geometry with both outer planets, which occurred on 16-17 June. At the same time, critical lunar geometry occurred with Jupiter and Saturn on 12 and 16 June and to a lesser degree with Venus and Uranus on 13-15 June. In addition, critical planetary geometry with Mercury, Venus and Uranus occurred on 14-15 June, which typically comes in pairs and often results in a major seismic event. However, the lunar geometry in June 2020 appears to have been decisive and resulted in a second major tremor five days later.
