Will do - sorry about that!!! and Thank You!!!

You don't need to worry about the co-ordinates - I have sorted it and the data is downloading - all 12 MB of it!

I selected a point in the middle of that bunch and asked for the data of quakes in a 25km radius, which just includes Clearlake.

Your search parameters are:

* catalog=ANSS
* start_time=1970/01/01,00:00:00
* end_time=2010/08/13,17:41:42
* minimum_magnitude=0
* maximum_magnitude=10
* event_type=E
* delta=0 km to 25 km from (38.8,-122.8)

That is a mighty lot of earthquakes - this graph could take some time!!!

Also, Puterman, that is a huge amount of data. Please note that the largest Geothermal Power Plant in the world lies here - right on the San Andreas Fault no less.

I am unsure if the events you are speaking of are 1 or 2 quakes. I think the best way to figure that out would be to check the nearest seismo across the ocean to see how it looks. Here is an article that describes what happened a few weeks ago when we had the Papua New Guinea quakes back to back and how they deciphered them.

Yeah I had a look at the Geysers for a week or so earlier in the year, similar sized downloads, I tried to put them all on a map and my Firefox crashed
Lots and Lots of

reply to post by RussianScientists


This is getting ridiculous, I haven't even loaded the last one from yesterday(Ecuador) to my 7+ Project yet

USGS "everything is normal" YEAH RIGHT

edit: I think this one will stick to 7+, the GEOFON phase data shows readings of 5.5 - 7.5 mb so the Mw should be even higher

I see USGS hasn't put a type of magnitude on it yet.

Location Uncertainty horizontal +/- 14.6 km (9.1 miles); depth +/- 5.1 km (3.2 miles) Parameters NST=294, Nph=296, Dmin=389.6 km, Rmss=1.3 sec, Gp= 32°, M-type=(unknown type), Version=6 Source * USGS NEIC (WDCS-D) Event ID us2010zxcf

There is a very interesting pattern here in the Geysers data.

I need someone to tell me which seismos are close by. I have found these:

BK HOPS
BK MNRC
BK CVS
BK SUTB
BK GASB
BK POTR
US WDC

Are there any more? I need all of them.

Most of these quakes by the way are sub 1.0 - thousands of them.

reply to post by PuterMan

Can't help you there I just used the data from the USGS/NEIC (PDE) 1973 - Present data base

In the last 365 days there have been 25 quakes of 7 or above

Man, just got home to this dreaded dial up and see you are in need of info that I will be unable to get until tomorrow when I can access on High Speed. - I will see what I can do tomorrow then. and of course - leave the office and miss yet another big one.

I have been noticing a pattern with these larger quakes - they seem to be coming in clusters now - not in area but they are triggering each other - or so it appears or, is something else going on deep in the earth that is triggering them

This one just adds another 7+ location in the line across the top of Australia, from Vanuatau to Andaman islands.
Maybe moorfnz wasn't too far off " we all had a gutsful of your northern hemishpere global warming and have decided to drop off the bottom and form our own planet before its too late

Chile and Argentina can come too, the new planet will be called RUGBY
We will start off by having a tournment in New Zealand next year to decide who will be the new SuperPower of the new planet.

I have a kml file of the lat and log of the geothermal stations if thats any use

At least we'll be safe in the knowledge that the Aussies won't be the next SuperPower

I'm awake (well, it's a wet, rainy Saturday afternoon (2pm) so nothing better to do)

Not too concerned about those recent 5's.. but the 7's sure are keeping us on our toes!

reply to post by MoorfNZ


A 7.2 mag, then 5's directly to the north and south, and now a 3 in Alaska, can you say the ring of fire is shifting a bit??? Maybe much ado about nothing, but stay tuned as always...IMHO

When we start experiencing a 7+ EVERY day, that will be the time to move to

Planet Rugby!!!

I will start packing immediately

[edit on 13-8-2010 by berkeleygal]

Heres how its looking so far 23 quakes in 2010 above 7.0 Mw, Ms, Mb, ML or Me
Interactive Map

Heres how its looking the last 101 years ( I finally got back to 1910 )

Since you bring up the ring of fire...

Did you guys read about the 'deep tremor' we are expeciencing right now in Washington State? Apparently it happens every 14-15 months since it was discovered in 2002. They don't know what it is or why it is happening. Here is an article on it:

Slow moving silent quake
