The 7/29/2025 M8.8 looks like a repeat of an earthquake in 1952
Another quick comparison of the 1952 #Kamchatka #earthquake from MacInnes et al. (2010) with today’s M8.8 event. The aftershock areas are similar, as well as one region of foreshocks. The updated USGS rupture model has a max slip of 10m versus 12m for 1952, with SW rupture direction. 🧪⚒️

I’m seeing lots of questions about whether the rate of great earthquakes is changing or whether climate change affects earthquakes. The answer is no. The long term rate of these big events is about 1/decade. But the distribution is random. The last one was 2011 in Japan
