A video on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the planet s noise levels
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced human activity and its impact on the planet s crust.
An international group of seismologists from 33 countries measured a drop of up to 50% in so-called ambient noise generated by humans travelling and factories humming after lockdowns came into force around the world.
They measured lower noise levels at 185 of the 268 seismic stations analysed around the world.

5.1 quake 1 Mar 5:57 pm (GMT -5)
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Medellin, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia, was reported only 14 minutes ago by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter in the afternoon on Monday 1 March 2021 at 5:57 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.

3.2 quake 1 Mar 2:26 pm (GMT -8)
The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.2 quake in the United States near Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California, only 6 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early afternoon on Monday 1 March 2021 at 2:26 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 0.6 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
