Very Strong Earthquake On The North American/ Pacific Plate Boundary June 30th 2026!

James Kaufman, World News Report Today. Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest earthquake on planet Earth today is in the Gulf of California, better known as the Sea of Cortez, right on the North American Pacific Plate boundary. And this energy will be pushing north into the United States, most probably. We'll take a look at this and see exactly how strong it is or was. it just occurred let's zoom in and take a look came in as a four on the DYFI it was in the ocean five on the shake map and 10 kilometers but this doesn't say that it was a default depth i'm guessing it was a default depth of 10 kilometers zooming in just right offshore we see right on the plate tectonic boundary here the North American Pacific plate boundary right in the Gulf of California, right in the Sea of Cortez, a 6.0. That's a big quake, and that pressure is moving up and down that North American-Pacific plate boundary. We could expect some action in the United States West Coast sooner rather than later. Jumping over to volcanoesandearthquakes.com, We see, of course, it was right where we said it was, in the Gulf of California, in the Sea of Cortez, right off the coast of Mexico, on the North American Pacific Plate Boundary. That energy is going to be running both north and south on these plate boundaries, and could very well have activity in the United States on the west coast sooner rather than later. now this is a highly volcanic area both onshore and the peninsula and we'll show you what that looks like right now we'll zoom in so you get a better feel for it you know this one doesn't look like it has any active volcanoes directly above it but this is definitely on the plate tectonic boundary you have one volcanic ridge here on the peninsula and another one running all the way down through Mexico here. And again, that North American Pacific Plate Boundary is going to push that energy south and north on that plate. It is never any good when this happens. Let's get some detailed information about this. All right, a very strong magnitude 6.0 earthquake. We've jumped over to VolcanoDiscovery.com. It's happened 33 minutes ago. Some quick details, a depth of 10 kilometers, it does not say default, 20 reports, and it looks like it came in just under one atomic bomb worth of energy being released. In a rare move, the USGS upgraded this quake from a 5.7 to a 6.0. We see the reports from people that did feel the quake and, well, how far it could be felt, actually. We've got a report all the way down here in Mexico City. Wow. Quickly, comparing quake data from the different reporting agencies, USGS, it is a default for the asterisks. Asterisks, a depth of 10 kilometers, often mean the depth of the quake cannot be determined with sufficient accuracy. we've got Raspberry Shake coming in at 5.7 which was the originally where the USGS came in they're just too lazy to change it default depth germany coming in at 5.65 plus or minus 0.18 default depth as well we've got the fringe coming in at only a 5.08 plus or minus 0.22 so we'll say a 5.3 crazy they're always always the lowest default depth 10 kilometers we've got the europeans coming in at 5.7 as well remember the usgs upgraded from a 5.7 to a 6.0 in the last 30 minutes since the quake has occurred we have europeans sticking with that original 5.7 We have the Australians coming in at a 6.1, default depth as well. We have the, well, Italians coming in at a 6.1, as well. This time they have a depth of 17 kilometers. And then, of course, we have the University of Mexico's Servicio Sismológico Nacional coming in also at a 6.1, very shallow depth of 5 kilometers, which makes no sense, not far off into the ocean, but it is Mexico. Now, this just occurred, and no aftershocks have been reported of any size surrounding this earthquake. Now, even though this is the biggest quake on the planet right now, I wanted to shout out a couple of honorable mentions. We have what looks like three quakes right here on the New Madrid, a 2.3 at 8.8 kilometers a 2.9 and a 2.0 right there all on the New Madrid we have a quake that's really strange over here offshore from Nova Scotia a 4.2 not seeing activity right there this is where the continental shelf does break off right there we also have one looks like one to me make sure earthquake that popped off in Yellowstone just a point eight pretty shallow 2.8 kilometers and then over on the Cascades Mount Rainier has a listen now negative 0.6 magnitude earthquake right here negative 0.6 magnitude earthquake a depth of 2.9 kilometers very shallow, two quakes offsetting the mountain itself, Ashford, Washington, 0.4 and a 0.7. And then we have some activity, this is Mount St. Helens and Adams and Hood, kind of in between, right here, very close to Mount St. Helens near Morton, Washington. So we have a little activity in the Cascades after yesterday's push of the Juan de Fuca plate, further under the North American plate. So, in summary, so far today, that 6.0, well, in the Gulf of California, Sea of Cortez is the biggest thing on the globe. It's on a plate tectonic boundary, North American plate tectonic boundary. We have three small quakes in New Madrid, one in Yellowstone, and a couple of quakes out in the Cascades. that said god bless folks please share give us a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't and always remember that anything's possible bizarro world
