More Shaking at The Islands To The North of Colombia!!! More Shaking at Greece!!! Learned To Spell Something New, AND Found a Straight-Line of A Lot of Earthquakes in Greece, Too!!!

Well, I was all ready to put the finishing touches on todays edition when this one came in and since I pretty much had already wrote all this about the Columbia Islands Region, I'll just run the header from this Late Wednesday Shaker at the region I'm going to be discussing later. . .

4.5 - 40km S of Mountain, Colombia
2018-11-29 04:49:29 13.010°N 81.296°W 10.0 km depth

And that one has the time stamp of 4:49 or about 11 minutes before midnight Central Time and that location I can now give an apt description of and that is to the north of the actual "Mainland" of Colombia. . . which I also just noticed is actually spelled differently than "Columbia, South Carolina"!!! Don't know if everybody knew that or not, but the COUNTRY Colombia is spelled with an "O" as in Ombia, and the South Carolina town with the letter "U" as in Umbia. Then this island epicenter location we're talking about is a few miles east of Nicaragua or around 160-200 miles east of the mainland, there, as one of the other lists of nearby places shows later in this edition.

Top one on this list shook late Wednesday, and this entire list looked just a little unusual at Greece with four (One in Montenegro, Actually) of these forming a nice line to the east of our epicenter we've been watching. Five in a row on this list, here, too! THAT'S Plate Tectonics for you!!!

4.6 37km WSW of Mouzaki, Greece 2018-11-28 18:23
4.3 28km ENE of Fira, Greece 2018-11-27 17:46:03****
4.9 24km SSW of Kamarion, Greece 2018-11-27 17:16****
4.4 7km ENE of Erithrai, Greece 2018-11-26 10:06****
4.2 4km NW of Lipci, Montenegro 2018-11-26 08:17****
4.5 50km SE of Lardos, Greece 2018-11-24 20:40****
4.2 62km WSW of Methoni, Greece 2018-11-22 12:00
4.6 50km SW of Mouzaki, Greece 2018-11-22 10:00
4.6 59km SSW of Lithakia, Greece 2018-11-22 05:11

Now Here's This Weeks: 4.8 Southern California/Far Northern Mexico "Earthquake Minute" VIDEO, November 23, 2018, CLICK Arrow: Watch 4.8 Calexico "Earthquake Minute" at YouTube@ https://youtu.be/_MRvPsAVcGo And See The Transcript@ https://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2018/11/48-richters-earthquake-struck-southern.html

Now here is a big one that struck the same Caribbean Island Region that we've been talking about, in JANUARY, and then I'll explain and have the recent one next:

7.5 - 44km E of Great Swan Island, Honduras
2018-01-10 02:51:33 (UTC)17.483°N 83.520°W19.0 km depth

Nearby Places
126.3 Miles SSW of Barra Patuca, Gracias a Dios, Honduras
153.3 Miles S of Puerto Lempira, Gracias a Dios, Honduras
187.7 Miles NE of George Town, George Town, Cayman Islands
189.4 Miles NE of West Bay, West Bay, Cayman Islands
193.3 Miles NE of Bodden Town, Bodden Town, Cayman Islands

And right at the moment we're basically just trying to figure out how many miles some of these islands are from some of the mainland nearby, and some of the other islands!!! The list of nearby places that follows this one might sort of help with all that, too, and as you can see about 200 miles east is Nicaragua:

6.0 - 32km SE of Mountain, Colombia
2018-11-25 03:40:51 (UTC)13.159°N 81.161°W10.0 km depth

Nearby Places
19.9 Miles NW of Mountain, San Andres y Providencia, Colombia
53.7 Miles SW of San Andrés, San Andres y Providencia, Colombia
161.5 Miles WNW of Puerto Cabezas, Atlántico Norte, Nicaragua
192.6 Miles WSW of Bluefields, Atlántico Sur, Nicaragua
217.6 Miles WSW of Rama, Atlántico Sur, Nicaragua

This drawing borrowed from a place called "Caribbean Microplate" shows at the far left about where all this shaking is going on and more or less explains what's happening, there:

At the very top of that drawing you see the far southern tip of Cuba and note that it extends due east and west for quite some distance! Well, when I was looking at all those islands discussed today, I also noticed that long extention of coast is an exact fit with the land between Panama and Costa Rica with all the rest fitting nicely in on either side of where that had to have at one time met! And the bottom of the ocean visible in the "Satellite View" also shows where the water gets deeper and deeper as it pulled away many probably millions of years ago!!! And we may have to continue to watch that region for more shaking. . . especially since that one came in right as I was about to click "Publish" on todays edition!!!
