Ms 7.3 Northern Algeria

updated 15 September 2023

report

On 10 October 1980 a major earthquake occurred in Northern Algeria at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 12:25:23 UTC and had an estimated magnitude 7.3.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of critical planetary geometry on 4-5 October 1980.

On 4-5 October a clustering of four planetary conjunctions occurred due to a near quadruple conjunction of Venus, the Sun, Mars and Neptune. Three conjunctions occurred on the 4th, followed by another conjunction in the morning of the 5th. Planetary right angles with Mercury and Venus involving outer planets occurred on 4, 5, 7 and 10 October. Critical lunar conjunctions occurred on 7 October with Jupiter and Saturn (within 13 hours). Another lunar conjunction occurred with the Sun (New Moon) on 9 October, a day before the earthquake.
