It was felt across a swathe of northern Australia, including Darwin, but the Bureau of Meteorology says there is no tsunami threat to Australia. But the other point that’s worth making [is] most of the facilities have plans in place to reduce their emissions. Watt says he is in Gladstone today with the energy minister, Chris Bowen, where they will have more to say about how the government will provide support to assist industry in the transition. So to have this amount of water come through the system this early in the wet season is a concern. It’s something supported by the business council of Australia, the Australian Industry Group [and] the Chamber of Commerce. is going to take a significant amount of time, but we’re already on the job working with Western Australia to work out how we can get that done. This is something that we went to the election saying we would do. The foundation is working with the WA government to deliver non-food essential supplies, like bedding, clothing and cookware, to residents who have lost everything. A lot of people aren’t aware but the wet season in northern Western Australia … And if you go back four years to the black summer, 438 council areas in Australia have been disaster-declared, which is over 80%. We know from all the scientists that we’re going to be facing more of these intense events more frequently. The emergency management minister, MurrayWatt, told ABC Radio this morning that the damage is “so severe that it’s going to take time”.

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake has hit the Tanimbar region in Indonesia early Tuesday morning, according to Geoscience Australia.

“I’ve heard reports of some of our apartment buildings in the city even swaying and rocking.” The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no tsunami threat to the Australian mainland, islands or territories. Some reported their whole houses were shaking, while others say they struggled to get back to sleep after the “scary” ordeal.

Earthquakes originating underneath the ocean are often accompanied by tsunami warnings. Here's what determines the tsunami risk.

Thus, the surface expression of the earthquake is significantly weakened and we either get no ocean waves, or only small ones. This single earthquake moved the crust 26 metres in seconds and lifted up the ocean, sending the crashing waves of a tsunami right across the Pacific Ocean. At this depth, the energy and associated movement from the earthquake becomes dissipated into a million small fractures in the overlying rocks. And this is the main reason some earthquakes generate tsunamis and others do not. Unfortunately, we do not yet have the technology to be able to predict exactly when or where an earthquake will occur. This is because subduction zones continue for a long way down into the mantle. But earthquakes also vary greatly in terms of how deep they are generated below the surface. In some places, earthquakes occur only occasionally but are very strong, while in others they happen more frequently and are weaker. Earth’s tectonic plates move across the planet’s surface at an average speed of around 10cm per year. It is being returned deep into Earth’s mantle – the thick layer of semi-molten rock beneath Earth’s surface crust. This happens at what are known as “subduction zones”. But what determines if a tsunami will occur?

UNSW Geology and Astrobiology Professor Martin Can Kranendonk says one of the challenges with geoscience is people cannot “predict exactly” when an ...

The best measure is to "drop, cover and hold". Yes, and the reason might surprise you. different components of the energy or the seismic shaking, travel at different speeds ... But, they're more frequent on the boundaries of these tectonic plates. "We find that a lot of the the injuries that occur in earthquake ground shaking is because people are trying to vacate buildings while the ground is unstable, so they might trip and fall," he says. Essentially, the tectonic plates that cover the Earth are constantly bumping up against each other and become locked with one another. Authorities say deeper quakes cause less damage but are more widely felt. Mr Allen says standing in a doorway during an earthquake is a myth, and is actually a pretty bad idea. "And that means that it actually transmits that quick ground shaking much more efficiently than, say, areas of younger crust or in a volcanic area." Mr Allen says the Banda Sea is one of the most "tectonically active areas in the world" because Australia's continental crust is butting up against the tectonic plate boundary, which is very rare. "What we feel as the ground is shaking is actually the energy that's released when those rocks break, and that energy travels through the Earth," Trevor says. When a magnitude-7.6 earthquake hit under the Banda Sea in the early hours of this morning, people hundreds of kilometres away woke up with a jolt.
