I am pretty sure oil doesnt come from the CORE of the Earth. You might want to research that.

Have you travelled to the Earth's Core?

I didn't think so......

Anyway when i say 'CORE' what i really meant was 'LIFE' or 'HEART'

Oil is at the core of the Earth..... it may of had a useage for being there in the first place...... in fact it probably does have a usage for being there otherwise it wouldn't be there right?


Yes... you are correct.

Oil is the lubricant for the earth's tectonic plates.

Pump out the oil and the plates grind against each other and create earthquakes.

End of plate tectonic theory lesson... Geosciences Class 101.

Well, not really. That lesson sucked!

You find alot of Oil at techtonic boundaries, do we? If it lubricated the plates, we'd expect to see it oozing out of every fault line. It doesn't.

Always felt this planet as a living entity! Always knew that the massive amounts of oil extracted from the plates would cause them to crack...and that the burning of this oil would destroy the atmosphere in that area! I dislike bad science! But I know this place will replenish itself - fast.

You dislike bad science, yet endorse it in the next breath?

Are you serious?

Okay, I thought about the OP for several seconds...

The earth has been "suffering" from the tremendous earthquakes for many years prior to "the human race" existence. At least, the human existence as we currently think of it. Meaning, an entire race of "people" may have been around to witness even more terrible earth events, which brought about their extinction.
However, there is no evidence, as yet, that such a "race" existed.

We, the human race, are not the cause of the earthquakes...no way, no how.

A little reading in the basics of geology pertaining to oil formation,and tectonics ( mountain building ), will do a lot to enlighten you in this regard.

I stopped breathing a long time ago
or rather holding my breath in this sea of lies called "civilization"! Imagine if your feces weren't laced with fermenting toxic chemicals from the foods you eat, medications and alcohol consumption - you could power your Lamborghini - no need to buy gas! Now instead human decay will have to feed the plates...perhaps!

Please read KOGDOGS reply!!!!

And i do know that the Tectonic plates need the oil which is what i was talking about....

As one other poster put it, we are sucking the life out of out the Earth.... if you were to have your blood sucked out of you you would die!!

Look! I know that Earthquakes have been occuring since long time ago but what i'm trying to say now is that they seem to be occuring at a much faster rate now and it could be due to our drilling of Oil!

Whatever man...

Your analogy would work if we were drilling holes in the earth hundreds of miles wide, not a matter of feet.

Please..

You "know", do you? Provide the proof, please.

Just saying something doesn't make it so. All the scientific data and even cursory observation shows that oil is not needed to "lubricate the plates"...

I cannot believe some people actually believe drivel like this. I despair, i really do. This site used to be full of intelligent people, now we just seem to have a huge mass of pillocks.

Again, show proof that Earthquakes are occuring more frequently.

I think you're confusing news coverage with how frequent they are. 24hr News and the internet enabled us to hear about things that would not have made the nightly news 20 years ago. It gives the impression of "more stuff", but really it's just "more stuff reported on the news".
