You mean this one?

Not that it has anything to do with this quake, Yellowstone Lake seismograph is showing a similar pattern to the one I linked to previously.

In relation with the quakes that have taken place on the Drake Passage and the Carlsberg Ridge, I would like to point out that the Drake Passage divides the Antartic from the American Continent and that the Carlsberg Ridge divides the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.

Don´t you think we are having some important shakings these days?

Do you remember that we talked about this as being unusual and maybe the path to something more important?

I have been checking the quakes these days but...

Have you noticed that the quake that has taken place in the Molucca Sea (7.3) today is bounded by the Sunda Plate?

The Sunda Plate is located in southeast Asia and commonly considered a part of the Eurasian Plate. The Sunda includes the South China Sea, the Andaman Sea, southern parts of Vietnam and Thailand along with Malaysia and the islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and part of the Celebes in Indonesia. Also included is the seismically active western Philippine Islands.

I find this quite interesting as it seems that more Plates are shaking hard these days. I really wonder if the 7.3 quake has been the biggest or if it just a preliminary one and something bigger is coming...

Yes it was quite interesting in size, but I don't know, maybe if there is a large earthquake on the Juan de Fuca plate or the San Andreas fault, then it'll be clearer. It may be significant this earthquake, but perhaps we should wait longer, see what else happens.

Apparently the Juan de Fuca plate has had large quakes, such as this one:

en.wikipedia.org...

I wonder if something is happening, but only time will tell.

Yes, we will have to keep an eye on this.

We will keep in touch and I will check all the quakes in order to confirm any other unusual Plate moving.

So many quakes in one day...I wonder how it is to live there..

4.9 WESTERN TURKEY

~hope all is ok there, Its tends not to be that stable in that area, mainly due to the terrain and buildings,

Magnitude 5.1 - AISEN, CHILE
Depth 10km

Yes lets hope there isn't too much damage, although its only a 4.9, there could be worse quakes in Turkey - I think there is meant to be one predicted for Istanbul.

a belgian radio news story aparrantly has reported that there was an earthquake in the english channel/north sea today. they said the tunnel wasn't damaged.

i can't find any stories about this on any news sites atm so did anybody else hear of this?

an earthquake in the english channel would be an extremely rare event to have occured.

Well there was this one on the 23rd, so that would be really unusual to have 2 in the space of 2 days.
