The power of a field trip to ignite passion, bring studies to life and inspire people cannot be understated.
So many of us owe our careers to the excitement first kindled on a college field trip.

The Philippines has '45 days of fuel left', declaring a state of emergency from the Iran war
Imminent danger that is posed to the country's energy supply.
98% of the Philippines oil supplies comes through the Persian Gulf.

yes, where did those fault data come from? not GEM
The North America and the Caribbean plates slipping past each other a bit.
The plate boundary is drawn a bit oddly from how it's usually shown though (the Motagua Fault and related faults very clearly curves to the northwest rather than southwest, you can even see it in the topography).
I have a biology joke but it only worked once and we could never figure out why.
I have a planetary seismology joke, but itβs way out there.
I have a joke about compression, but do not thrust it
I have a joke about the Anthropocene, but itβs becomng passΓ©.
i have an earthquake joke but i am currently under my desk dropping, covering, and holding on

the NTWC posts tsunami notices for earthquakes that can be felt near the coastline (even into M4+ range)
they are posted here: www.tsunami.gov
and this is the one they posted for alaska for this earthquake: www.tsunami.gov/events/PAAQ/...
