Large earthquakes can cause antipode quakes on the opposite side of the plate, or planet

@RealDutchsinse

Today's back to back M7.5/M7.2 and then a M7.0 (M6.9) in Japan 25 minutes later.
We HAVE seen this back and forth before on different parts of the planet.. these are called "antipode earthquakes".
They only occur when serious seismic unrest is taking place due to multiple deep earthquakes across a vast area of the planet.  The deep earthquakes are usually followed by shallower larger earthquakes up towards the surface, spanning out thousands of miles while doing so.
This happened several times in the past, a few random examples I can grab from my youtube channel for instance from 2016, 2018, and 2021, plus today.
Usually happens within 3 days or less, a new large earthquake of similar (or greater) size strikes the antipode of the previous large quake on the opposite side of the plate (or planet in some cases).
Usually happens with M6.5+ earthquakes, and there are studies which confirm this antipode earthquake phenomenon linked here: https://news.oregonstate.edu/news/research-
