Yeah i have been looking here www.iris.edu... a lot and the earthquake's seem to be getting bigger and a lot more than usual.
Maybe the big one is on it way i do not know but there is more than usual.
Just look at that map it'lighting up like a christmas tree.
I think we should keep watching it could be the American side to rock next you never know there is a lot of talk they are overdue a big one.
S+F for you

THANKYOU

That is all my opinion. Keep and eye on yellowstone and the mid-west for 3+ quakes (like the pair in colorado) and then worry, until then - things seem active but normal.


Yes it is Yellowstone I find worrying. With the amount of magma under that area, if it goes it will effect all of the USA.

It is interesting to note there is something happening to the earth's Magnetic Field.




MAGNETIC FIELDS
“The average pressure of the solar wind has dropped more than 20% since the mid-1990s … the speed of the million mph solar wind hasn't decreased much—only 3%. The change in pressure comes mainly from reductions in temperature and density. The solar wind is 13% cooler and 20% less dense. The solar wind isn't inflating the heliosphere as much as it used to … That means less shielding against cosmic rays.

Ulysses also finds that the sun's underlying magnetic field has weakened by more than 30% since the mid-1990s”.....The magnetic pole in Northern Canada has been weakening as it shifts across the Arctic to Siberia.....The overall intensity of the magnetic field has decreased. “Measurements have been made of the Earth's magnetic field more or less continuously since about 1840. If we look at the trend in the strength of the magnetic field over this time (for example the so-called 'dipole moment' shown in the graph below) we can see a downward trend. ... We also know from studies of the magnetisation of minerals in ancient clay pots that the Earth's magnetic field was approximately twice as strong in Roman times as it is now.”

The Earth’s magnetic field “acts as a shield against the bombardment of particles continuously streaming from the sun. Because the solar particles (ions and electrons) are electrically charged, they feel magnetic forces and most are deflected by our planet's magnetic field. However, our magnetic field is a leaky shield and the number of particles breaching this shield depends on the orientation of the sun’s magnetic field. … Twenty times more solar particles cross the Earth’s leaky magnetic shield when the sun’s magnetic field is aligned with that of the Earth compared to when the two magnetic fields are oppositely directed” Earth's Magnetic Field
ing to the earth's magnetic poles too.

The earthquake magnitude scale is logarithmic. For each unit the shaking increases by 10 times (while the energy involved increases by 32 times).

So, for example, an M3 earthquake is 10 times smaller than an M4 earthquake and 1000 times smaller than an M6 earthquake.
