Quake Watch 2007

There was a tsunami coming from that Solomon Islands quake. Here's a thread:

7.6 Earthquake in the South Pacific (by infinite)

Just for the record, USGS upgraded the quake to 8.0

6.2-magnitude quake hits Afghanistan

shaking buildings in the capital and across the border in Pakistan.

is anyone able to access the "live internet seismic server" run by USGS? i usually have no problem, but since the solomon island quake i haven't been able to logon and see the graphs. makes me wonder if we're *not supposed* to see the real-time graphs.

It works fine for me, I don't think they're hiding anything.

well, works for me now too. perhaps their servers just got pounded from people interested in the recent quakes.

They say the Afghanistan Hindu Kush quake was even felt in parts of India. And it was deep.

USGS: Magnitude 6.2 - HINDU KUSH REGION, AFGHANISTAN
2007 April 3 03:35:06 UTC

Depth: 210.5 km (130.8 miles)


Felt widely across Afghanistan, Pakistan and parts of India.

Edit to add a related thread from October 2005:

Just to give you all an idea... this is the number of 4.0+ quakes in less than the last 48 hours. A few are aftershocks from the Solomons, but a lot are not. Fair bit of activity at the moment...

I got a very shakey feeling this afternoon and got the hit there could be a strong earthquake in ca. very soon in a day or so.

Interesting, Well keep an eye on things like animals acting oddly and birds,

Keep upto date with the Quake link,

6.3 New Caledonia's Loyalty Islands

The temblor hit at 10 p.m. local time, 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT), about 85 miles (135 km) northeast of Tadine, Loyalty Islands, and at a depth of 6.2 miles (10 km), the agency said. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

Right now many seismographs around the world are going crazy. There are several 4.8 and higher earthquakes, up to 5.7, mostly centered around Japan.

This "might" be a precedent of quakes before a big one.

Something is definetely happening, because most seismographs show a lot of activity.

It seems as if the whole region extending form the Aleutian island in the North Pacific, to the Loyalty and Fiji Island areas are very active.

Let's hope it is a false alarm.

Well lets see what happens then, as we can do nothing about it. Although the presuure might be releasing around Japan, but building up somewhere else.

Yellowstone seems really quiet:

Ok the previous week's quakes with a massive number of aftershocks:

And that uses nearly 8,000 Characters

I'm thinking we could possibly still be seeing effects that are related back to the Dec 26, 2004 quake. If that quake supposedly actually made the Earth smaller in area while retaining nearly the same mass, wouldn't the overall internal pressure of the planet increase? It seems like this could put more stress on the plates grinding together which could cause more earthquakes while, at the same time, it could possibly squeeze magma up through weak spots in the crust towards the surface causing more volacanic eruptions. I'm just wondering if there'll be a "correction" type quake or large volcanic event that will relieve the extra pressure. Then again, the increased activity we've seen since then could be doing the same thing but on a more gradual basis.

[edit on 10-4-2007 by Necrosis]

hmmmm. Almost 1 full week without any quakes in Japan, according to the USGS site. Can`t remember the last time their map was that empty for Japan.

That`s a little worrying.
