Hawaii , Pāhala earthquake :

USGS HVO Press Release , Magnitude-4.2 earthquake northeast of Pāhala, Island of Hawai‘i.

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) recorded a magnitude-4.2 earthquake located on the south part of the Island of Hawai‘i on Monday, August 1, at 10:03 a.m., HST.

The earthquake was centered about 8 km (5 miles) northeast of Pāhala, at a depth of 32 km (20 miles).

Light shaking, with maximum Intensity of IV on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, has been reported across parts of the Island of Hawai‘i. At that intensity, significant damage to buildings or structures is not expected.

According to HVO geophysicist, Jefferson Chang, the earthquake had no apparent effect on Kīlauea or Mauna Loa volcanoes. « This earthquake appears to be part of the seismic swarm under the Pāhala area, which has been going on for over a year. Out of over ten thousand earthquakes that were detected in the area, a few have been large enough to be felt. We see no detectable changes in activity at the summits or along the rift zones of Mauna Loa or Kīlauea as a result of these earthquakes. » HVO continues to monitor Hawaiian volcanoes for any changes.

Earthquakes beneath Kīlauea’s lower Southwest Rift Zone are produced mostly at depths of 25–40 km (15–25 mi), beneath the town of Pāhala and extending about 10 km (6 mi) offshore. Earthquakes in this region have been observed at least as far back as the 1960s and are posited to be related to deep magma pathways under the island.
