5.1-magnitude earthquake shook northern Iran, the US Geological Survey says, as Israel pounded the country with repeated waves of airstrikes.

The quake, which Iran’s Tasnim news agency says measured 5.2, struck at a depth of 10 kilometers (six miles) some 37 kilometers (23 miles) southwest of the city of Semnan, the USGS says.

There have been a number of these in recent days. Underground nuclear bomb testing?

There was a report of a 5.2 early Friday morning. Is this quake #2 or just a re-reporting?

That’s number they use when they aren’t sure how deep. 6 miles

“Underground nuclear bomb testing?”

“Yes, you see, there’s no such thing as coincidence. There are no accidents in life. Everything that happens is the result of a calculated move that leads us to where we are.”

I’m sort of hoping this is a covert Mossad operation.

Ten kilometers is a “fixed depth”. Sometimes data are too poor to compute a reliable depth for an earthquake. In such cases, the depth is assigned to be 10 km. Why that number? In many areas around the world, reliable depths tend to average 10 km or close to it. For example, if we made a histogram of the reliable depths in such an area, we’d expect to see a peak around 10 km. So if we don’t know the depth, 10 km is a reasonable guess. The USGS used to use 33 km, but increased understanding indicates that 10 km is more likely.

10 km is way too deep for any kind of a nuclear test. Even if the estimate is off and it’s 5 km deep, that’s still not nuclear. Whether it is a message or not is another matter.
