Earthquakes of 7.0 and greater since 1900.


This is number 6 for 2010.

This is the first time I have disagreed with you. Most people know that Earthquake rating is exponential, so this data is a little off. Earthquakes are also rarer as they go higher in the scale. To do a more accurate graph, it should be somewhere around 7.3 to 7.5 and up. That may mean that this year is still average, but it would be more accurate results.

Is your graph depicting after shocks? I remember there where a few 7.0 aftershocks in Chile.

I see. I'm surprised more research has not been done on this considering how often this is happening. The next time major solar activity is shown to be coming and is to last for a couple of days, somebody should make an earthquake prediction thread. It could be the first prediction thread on ATS to actually come true.

So I have a question guys:

It's been over 50 minutes and THERE ARE NO AFTERSHOCKS!!!!

I find this extremely odd, and a bit disturbing. Hope there is nothing bigger to come.


Um yeah that is cause for concern.

Hopefully anything coming will be smaller than what we already saw.

Can anyone confirm there has been no aftershocks?

I guess I can go pull up the usgs site and figure it out myself, lol.


I posted this on the last page. Read the people without the avatar images too!

Reuters bulletin for 3 aftershocks. They are only 5.0, 4.9 and 5.1 magnitudes.


Thanks, another friend offered me that as you did. lol.

Ok so Westcoast, you are in trouble! You said there was no aftershocks...


Well, I go to the USGS for all my info. I consider them the fastest and most accurate. I know that they have computer generated listings for anything over 2.5 and stil there is NOTHING listed on the site except for the continuing aftershocks in BAJA.

Here's a little snippet from 1618 PST:

Latest Earthquakes in the World - Past 7 days

Latest Earthquakes Magnitude 2.5 or Greater in the United States and Adjacent Areas and Magnitude 4.5 or Greater in the Rest of the World - Last 7 days
Versión en Español

This list contains all earthquakes with magnitude greater than 2.5 located by the USGS and contributing networks in the last week (168 hours). Magnitudes 4.5 and above are in bold font. Magnitudes 6 and above are in red. (Some early events may be obscured by later ones on the maps.)

The most recent earthquakes are at the top of the list. Times are in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Click on the word "map" to see a ten-degree tall map displaying the earthquake. Click on an event's "DATE" to get a detailed report.

I'm not saying they are the gods of quakes and can't be wrong, there is a lot going on, but that is the site I go by!!

Look at the frequency of earthquakes during the 1940s and during when Isreal was reborn and World War 2.
Birth pangs the Bible calls them as the earth reacts with what we do and how it climaxes in the end times. Maybe with Iran around the corner and all these other threats to humans and nature maybe the Earth will bite back plague us with wakeup calls.

Thanks for the update. I was just teasing you

But yeah it takes time for us to get good information, I was about to freak out with you too. haha.

Oh, my wife's friend informed us that he believes Baja is on the direct other side of the earth. The word he used was Antipodal.

They are on nearly exact opposite sides of the earth. Almost exactly.

So how can this be? That the two quakes are antipodal within just 30-40hours timespan?

I doubt it is a coincidence.

How about 8.0+? (I had it handy)


(Actually, magnitude scales are logarithmic, not exponential. Not exactly the same.)
