Bardet J.-P. The quake that struck Mexico overnight matches the force of a magnitude 8.1 quake that hit the country on June 3, 1932, roughly 300 miles (500 kilometers) west of Mexico City. The resulting values of T (-6.37 and -6.43, respectively) are typical of recent tsunami earthquakes (e.g. We are grateful to Ota Kulhánek, James Dewey, Brian Mitchell and Bernard Dost for access to historical seismograms. Introduction The great Colima-Jalisco, Mexico earthquake … Among the 29 earthquakes listed on Table 1, we earmark with a a eight events which have generally better locations, as evidenced by smaller confidence ellipses. On the other hand, among the three sequences of Kuril-type tsunami earthquakes, the most variable parameter is the time delay between the main shock and the ‘tsunami earthquake’: 7 d in the 1963 episode, 19 d in 1932 but nearly 2 years in 1973-1975. Relocation of the principal aftershocks, flagged with a a in Table 1. Taylor F.W. Tsunamis in Mexico In a total of 24 tidal waves classified as a tsunami since 1732 a total of 91 people died in Mexico. A study by Mexico's National Seismological Service says Thursday's deadly quake matches the force of a magnitude 8.1 quake that hit the country on June 3, 1932… Classical examples would include the 1929 Grand Banks, Newfoundland and 1934 Luzon events, for which the existence of the landslides was documented during the repair of telegraphic cables severed by the events (Repetti 1934; Heezen & Ewing 1952). 7 shows that the simulated tsunami amplitude falls to 1.5 m in Manzanillo, substantially lower than observed. greater than the 1995 earthquake. For each event, the values of Mc, the mantle magnitude corrected for focal mechanism (Okal & Talandier 1989), are plotted against frequency, with relevant period and moment scales given along the top and right axes. Although its location on the interplate contact would be generally similar to that of the 2010 Mentawai, Sumatra ‘tsunami earthquake’ (Newman et al. Davies H.L. Following the work of Newman & Okal (1998), itself based on Boatwright & Choy (1986), we seek to obtain slowness parameters Θ = log10(EE/M0) for Events I, II and III. We emphasize that, because Ebeling & Okal′s (2007) regional distance corrections were derived empirically in the absence of a rigorous theoretical framework, these values remain tentative in an absolute sense; however, because the epicentral distance is essentially the same for all three earthquakes, the relative values for the three events are robust. Scenario 22.3 is inspired by Lay & Bilek′s (2007) model of a variable, generally deficient, rigidity along the uppermost part of the subduction interplate. With a published moment of 1.6 × 1028 dyn cm (Okal 1992), the great Colima-Jalisco earthquake of 1932 June 3 was one of the largest to strike Mexico since the dawn of instrumental seismology. The second earthquake caused as few as 3 or as many as 52 deaths. As mentioned by Eissler & McNally (1984), Event I′s entry is missing from the collection of B. Gutenberg′s notepads (Goodstein et al. Tanioka & Satake (1996) have suggested that it may also apply to the 1896 Sanriku event, where the faulting would have deviated into the wedge at the end of the rupture. A third earthquake of 3.0 magnitude occurred in the area at 11:16 a.m. On March 27, four more quakes, including one measured at 3.7 magnitude, occurred in the same area. Epicentral distances are computed for Event I and rounded to the nearest degree. 5 shows that Events I and II feature T values characteristic of large interplate thrust earthquakes whereas Event III exhibits an energy-to-moment ratio typical of ‘tsunami earthquakes’ such as the 1992 Nicaragua event. Although Talandier & Okal (1989) further identified the Tonga earthquake of 1982 December 19 as a ‘tsunami earthquake’, it was not until the decade of the 1990s that interest in this matter was revived due to the occurrence of three events, in Nicaragua (1992 September 02), Java (1994 June 02) and Chimbote, Peru (1996 February 21). Convers J. Singh S.K. The effects of Events I, II and III and especially of their tsunamis are summarized, for example, by Sánchez & Farreras (1993), based primarily on Mexican newspaper accounts. The time steps are adjusted for each grid, down to t= 1 σ for the finest one, to satisfy the stability condition of Courant et al. This qualifies that aftershock as a so-called ‘tsunami earthquake’, a class of events defined by Kanamori (1972) as generating tsunamis of much greater amplitude than suggested by their seismic magnitudes, especially conventional ones. It shares the focal geometry of Model 22.1, but features a lower rigidity, and hence an enhanced slip, with a slightly elongated more ‘ribbon-like’ fault geometry. Note the flat spectrum of Event II and the mild frequency dependence for Event I expressing source finiteness. These records were digitized at a sampling rate t= 0.1 σ and processed through the standard algorithm for the computation of T. A correction is introduced to take into account the use of a single horizontal component. This model is particularly suited to the case of ‘tsunami earthquakes’ occurring as aftershocks, where the softer wedge material may have seen a loading by stress transfer from the primary event. SE-50, U.S. Dept. Hayes G. Note: This seismic event was followed by a 7.5-8.1 magnitude earthquake in the same general area (the second shock was closer to Colima) on 18 June 1932 at 10:12 UT. The relocated epicentre of Event I, at 19.65°N, 104.00°W, is compared on Fig. MOST has been extensively validated through comparisons with laboratory and field data, per standard international protocols; full details can be found in Synolakis (2003). 5 energy-to-moment ratios for the ‘tsunami earthquakes’ of 1963 October 20 (‘K63’) and 1975 June 10 (‘K75’) that were aftershocks of the regular subduction events of 1963 October 13 (Kanamori 1970) and 1973 June 17, respectively (energy estimates were obtained from the Benioff 1-90 records of their P waves at Pasadena, and their moments were derived from WWSSN records of their mantle Love and Rayleigh waves). The analysis of the spectral amplitude of mantle surface waves yields low-frequency moments of 24, 5.2 and 4 times 1027 dyn cm, respectively, with Event III featuring a moment growing with period, which expresses the source slowness characteristic of ‘tsunami earthquakes’. 1980), so the details of his relocation remain unknown. Numbers refer to Table 1. 1 as the circle, at 19.46°N, 104.15°W. All our results then fit the model for ‘tsunami earthquake’ aftershocks proposed for the Kuril Islands by Fukao in 1979. Reexamination of arrival time data for the 1932 Jalisco earthquake yields an epicenter at 19.57°N, 104.42°W, close to the boundary zone inferred from these two earthquakes. 10 shows that the results are changed only marginally and that it would not predict the reported widespread inundation. Because the epicentral distances involved (19.17°, 19.32° and 19.30°, respectively) are significantly shorter than the range of applicability (35° ≤ Δ ≤ 80°) of the distance correction used in the definition of T (Newman & Okal 1998), we use an empirical extension of this correction derived by Ebeling & Okal (2007). The paper was significantly improved by the comments of two anonymous reviewers. Rodríguez M. Synolakis C.E. The common scale allows for direct comparison of the three events, clearly exposing Event III′s deficiency in high frequencies. Obviously and unfortunately, the time delay in question would also be the most valuable parameter from a societal standpoint. The detailed contributions of these previous studies will be described in the relevant sections later. The present computations use three nested grids, the coarsest one covering a total area of 330 000 km2 and the finest one, shown on Figs 6-11, featuring a sampling of 0.1 nautical mile (0.185 km). Silver E.A. Relocation based on published arrival times … Meltzner A. A detailed seismological study of the 1932 sequence in Manzanillo and in particular of Events I, II and III, confirms that the latter occurred up-dip of the main shock and that it featured source slowness resulting in a growth of moment with period and in a deficiency of high frequencies in its source spectrum. It seems that the 1995 event is not a repeat of either June 3 or June 18, 1932 earthquakes. We were able to gather on-scale records of the generalized P waves from all three events on the east-west Wood-Anderson seismometer at Pasadena (Fig. 11, the maximum run-up increases to 4 m in Manzanillo and 4.5 m in Cuyutlán but remains smaller than reported (note that the color palette used on Figs 11 and 12 differs from that of Figs 6-10). 8.1 magnitude earthquake. It’s undercut with grit and attitude by her cigarette-in-hand. You could not be signed in. Based on the long-period seismic moments derived in this study, our hydrodynamic simulations reproduce the main characteristic of the tsunamis as reported in historical chronicles: a run-up of about 3 m concentrated in the bay of Manzanillo during Event I, a much more benign tsunami during Event II and a catastrophic inundation after Event III with run-ups reaching 7 m; the latter is explained by setting the rupture on a splay fault in weaker, presumably sedimentary, material in the wedge of the subduction system under the exact scenario proposed by Fukao (1979) in the Kuril Islands. For each event, the estimated energy EE is plotted against the seismic moment M0 in logarithmic units. In summary, Model 03.1 best describes the effects of the tsunami on Manzanillo and its vicinity. (a) and (b) Same as Fig. This procedure is necessary to allow a run-up computation simulating the interaction with the coastline. The locked zone at this plate interface ruptured in two stages in June 1932. Hornbach M. Latest Earthquakes in the world. This is the exact geometry favoured by Fukao (1979) to explain the Kuril ‘tsunami earthquakes’ of 1963 October 20 and 1975 June 10. A tsunami was reported which destroyed a … The latter (Event III) generated a tsunami more devastating than that of the main shock despite much smaller seismic magnitudes, thus qualifying as a so-called 'tsunami earthquake'. However, we emphasize the trend, common to all solutions, in the relative locations of Events III and I. For each event, we use scaling laws (Geller 1976) to interpret the static values of the seismic moment M0 in terms of fault length L, fault width W and seismic slip Δu. We relocated systematically the main shock and all 28 apparent aftershocks occurring in 1932, using the data listed by the International Seismological Summary (ISS) and the interactive iterative method of Wysession et al. All relevant parameters are listed in Table 3. Fig. Based on the work of Boatwright & Choy (1986), Newman & Okal (1998) have proposed a modern rendition of the mb:Ms discriminant, in the form of the parameter Θ = log10(EE/M0), where EE is the seismic energy radiated into the body waves, estimated without knowledge of focal mechanism and exact depth, and M0 the seismic moment. (1928). 1932-06-03 10:36:56 (UTC) | 19.786°N 103.784°W | 15.0 km depth Havskov J. Fritz H.M. Same as Fig. This scenario, which requires a sedimentary input into the subduction zone, could apply to the 2010 Mentawai aftershock of the 2007 Bengkulu earthquake (Newman et al. Qiang Q. Okal & Synolakis (2004) have shown that because landslides and earthquakes obey different scaling laws, their tsunamis feature characteristically different run-up distributions in the near field. Note significantly lower wave heights. For each event, our relocated epicentre is shown as the large star (surrounded by its Monte Carlo confidence ellipse), the ISS location as the inverted triangle, GR′s estimate as the upward triangle, EV′s relocation as the circle and in the case of Event I, Eissler & McNally′s (1984) estimate as the square. For Event III, we assume a steeper dip, representative of faulting along a splay fault in the accretionary wedge that will be our preferred model. In the case of the 1932 Mexican series, we are limited by the availability of adequate records, in particular because the events predate the development of the broad-band ‘1-90’ instruments (available at Pasadena starting in 1937). Note that Event III is systematically offset about 50 km to the SSW of Event I. The 1932 Changma earthquake occurred at 10:04:27 local time on 25 December. 2. An end-member to this series could be the 1896 Meiji Sanriku earthquake, for which Tanioka & Satake (1996) have argued that the rupture propagated coseismically into the accretionary wedge, with essentially no delay between the two events. We conclude that the possibility that the 1932 Jalisco earthquake broke the northernmost section of the Cocos‐North American plate interface, as opposed to the Rivera‐North American plate interface, cannot be … All this evidence strongly suggests that Event III occurred about 50 km seawards of the main shock, in a geometry which would be compatible with rupturing either at the very top of the interplate contact, or along a splay fault located in an accretionary wedge inside the North American Plate. Singh et al. Pacheco J. Notwithstanding this reservation, Fig. In this section, we simulate the regional tsunamis generated by Events I, II and III based on models of their ruptures derived from the waveform studies of Section 4. Estimated casualties: 600. Link to Wikipedia biography Nicaragua, 1992, -6.47) and comparable to that derived for Event III.

Bull′s eye symbols denote ‘tsunami earthquakes’, all featuring Θ =-5.8 (N: Nicaragua, 1992; J: Java, 1994 and 2006; M: Mentawai, 2010; K: Kuril, 1963 and 1975; C: Chimbote, Peru, 1996; T: Tonga, 1982; A46: Aleutian, 1946; S04: Sumatra, 2004; for the latter, both the CMT and normal mode moments are shown). Five of those were assigned magnitudes MPAS ≥ 6 by GR. earthquakes today - recent and latest earthquakes, earthquake map and earthquake information. Previous determinations of Event I′s moment include Espíndola ′s (1981) comparative study of surface waves at Uppsala in the 40-70 σ range (1.0 × 1028 dyn cm), Wang ′s (1982) analysis of 50-s surface waves at three European stations (0.9 × 1028 dyn cm) and Singh ′s (1984) body wave modelling at Uppsala and Stuttgart (0.3 × 1028 dyn cm). 12(b) shows inundation of the land spit separating the ocean from the Cuyutlán lagoons, in accordance with the description reported in local newspapers (El Excelsior 1932) and summarized by Sánchez & Farreras (1993). The inscription reads, ‘Carmen Rivera Painted Her Portrait 1932’. In this respect, the specific hazard inherent in those anomalous events that are treacherous because they do not carry the natural warning of an impending tsunami in the form of intense shaking, should be emphasized globally as part of tsunami education programs.

Event III is a typical ‘tsunami earthquake’, with a slowness parameter Θ =-6.18, more than one logarithmic unit less than predicted by scaling laws. Jennings P.C. Parameters of rupture models used in tsunami simulations. Isobaths are drawn every 1000 m, with the exception of the deepest one (4500 m). According to Mexico’s National Seismological Service, three of those happened within a nerve-wracking nine-month span in 1902-1903. More recently, the 2006 Java and 2010 Mentawai earthquakes, both in Indonesia, have qualified as ‘tsunami earthquakes’; the latter could be regarded as an aftershock of the 2007 Bengkulu earthquake. The latter is our Event 23 (1932 August 24; b in Table 1), which clearly occurred farther south and east with a moderate-sized confidence ellipse, not reaching the coastline. We also show, on Fig. The latter (Event III) generated a tsunami more devastating than that of the main shock despite much smaller seismic magnitudes, thus qualifying as a so‐called ‘tsunami earthquake’. It is remarkable that Fukao′s (1979) model, derived for the Kuril province, can be exported to a subduction zone with significantly different tectonic characteristics: a much younger age and a slower convergence rate.

Note that the fault length is in good agreement with the extent of the well-located aftershocks plotted on Fig. (c) Run-up along coastline, plotted as a function of longitude. Previous studies of the 1932 earthquakes (Espíndola et al. For Events I and III, the oblique dashed lines are linear regressions of the data sets. The remainder of Singh ′s (1984) aftershock distribution extends over approximately 150 km (their fig. Agriculture & Commerce, Catâlogo de tsunamis (Maremotos) en la Costa Occidental de Mexico [Catalog of tsunamis on the Western coast of Mexico], World Data Center A Pub. Kisslinger C. Espíndola J.M. The aftershocks locations, the first motions at MNZ, and the isoseismic maps of the two main shocks strongly suggest that: (a) the 3 June 1932 earthquake initiated NW of but close to MNZ and propagated NW for an estimated length of rupture of 220 km; (b) the 18 June 1932 earthquake nucleated SW of MNZ (offshore) and perhaps ruptured a length of about 60 km; and (c) the width of rupture was approximately 80 km. Events triggering landslides are generally not considered ‘tsunami earthquakes’ as their sources do not exhibit seismically anomalous behaviour. S. K. Singh, L. Ponce, S. P. Nishenko; The great Jalisco, Mexico, earthquakes of 1932: Subduction of the Rivera plate. Later, Fukao (1979) identified the earthquakes of 1963 October 20 and 1975 June 10 in the Kuril Islands as ‘tsunami earthquakes’. John Bellini, a geophysicist at the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado, said it was the strongest quake since an 8.1 temblor struck the western state of Jalisco in 1932.

Note inundation of Cuyutlán land spits and run-up reaching 7 m. See text for details. As shown on Fig. 6(b). Event I on 1932 June 3 resulted in severe destruction in Manzanillo and adjoining areas with upwards of 400 casualties. This variability in delay before the ‘tsunami earthquake’ expresses the non-linear nature of the stress transfer outside of the rupturing area of the main shock. Singh S.K. In general, two tectonic contexts have been proposed for the occurrence of ‘tsunami earthquakes’. Those eight ‘major’ aftershocks are plotted with their confidence ellipses on Fig. A study by Mexico's National Seismological Service says that quake is believed to have killed about 400 people, causing severe damage around the port of Manzanillo.
