Answer (1)
The 2019 Zambales earthquake had a magnitude of 6.1, as reported by both the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) ¹ ².Regarding the extent of damage brought by the Thai earthquake, I couldn't find any information on a recent Thai earthquake. However, the 2019 Zambales earthquake caused significant damage, including:- Collapsed Buildings: A four-story supermarket in Porac, Pampanga, collapsed, burying an unknown number of people ¹.- Power Outages: Most parts of Zambales, Pampanga, Tarlac, and Pangasinan experienced power outages due to downed power lines ¹.- Displacement: Over 600 families were displaced, and hundreds were in need of immediate humanitarian assistance ¹.Pampanga was severely affected by the earthquake despite the epicenter being in Zambales due to soil liquefaction and proximity to the water table ¹. This caused more damage to infrastructure and buildings in Pampanga.As for active faults in Zambales, I couldn't find specific information. However, the Philippines is a seismically active region, and earthquakes are common due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire. If you're looking for information on active faults in the Philippines, I recommend checking with the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) for the most up-to-date information.
