Second Earthquake Shakes New South Wales

Just one day after a significant earthquake shook New South Wales, a second quake struck the same region, adding to the sense of uncertainty and concern. On August 24, 2024, at precisely 16:31:37 local time, a magnitude 4.5 earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 km, initially reported as a magnitude 4.7 before being downgraded. This second earthquake once again rocked the area near Denman, close to the Mount Arthur Coal Mine, suggesting that the tectonic forces at play are still releasing built-up stress.

Before this second major quake, a series of aftershocks were recorded throughout the day, including magnitudes ranging from 2.5 to 3.2, indicating ongoing seismic adjustments in the crust. These aftershocks, occurring at various times in the early hours of the morning and throughout the day, served as a prelude to the 4.5 magnitude event, keeping residents on edge and highlighting the unpredictability of seismic activity. Following the main quake, additional aftershocks continued to ripple through the region, as the earth slowly settled back into a state of equilibrium.

These back-to-back seismic events are a stark reminder of the geological forces at work beneath the surface, even in areas not typically known for high seismic activity. As communities assess the damage and brace for potential future tremors, the importance of preparedness and understanding of local geology becomes ever more apparent. Join us in this video as we delve into the details of these earthquakes, exploring the science behind the shaking and the impact on the people and landscapes of New South Wales.
