earthquake.usgs.gov...

I'm curious too. All these at the same depth...???

from what i understand 10km is the default depth the computers set before they are reviewed by somebody.

reply to post by Mr Zeropoint


Thanks for that info. (It sure is taking them a long time to review it.)

That area isn't so far away from me here on the coast of Northern California.

I wonder if the Navy is doing something in that area.

Interesting that o/s Oregon occured right now just a day after a similar [though smaller] swarm o/s NZ, opposite hemispheres/ opposite sides of the Pacific Plate.
Expanding Pacific Plate.

BTW Earthquakes cause volcano's not the other way around.

Wow, I don't know about you guys but my heart was racing when I logged in just now and saw all the activity off Oregon. Off to investigate further - anyone on here feel the main event (5.1)?

reply to post by MoorfNZ


I'm about 300 miles inland & didn't note anything except my Firefox earthquake add-on shaking like crazy while I was at work.

We've had shakers that big & bigger out that far in the ocean & barely felt it (if at all) inland so that's not unusual but I agree that many 4+ mag's in such a short time is disquieting. Living in the prime target area of a Cascadia Subduction rip zone I am watching this closely for the next few days....

Edit for dyslexic typing error.

[edit on 7/5/10 by quietright]

Yeah, it's actually two timezones away from those of us who live in Cascadia. I was thinking if that plate did decide to slip in a big way I wouldn't mind so much if it chose that particular spot.

Unfortunately I don't think it takes requests.

I noticed today that USGS have added an extra link to the real time quake events that covers California and Nevada specifically.

A very rare occurrence!

Yeah, I thought it was rare, too, there's a thread on it, but people seem to think it's nothing new there - I was waiting for you to comment
