I thought this was interesting and so I am sharing this with you. NASA has given us these images which have never been seen before.

We can clearly see in the image how the ground has moved, and more pictures like this will help us know more about these earthquakes


NASA has released the first-ever airborne radar images of the deformation in Earth's surface caused by a major earthquake -- the magnitude 7.2 temblor that rocked Mexico's state of Baja California and parts of the American Southwest on April 4.

The data reveal that in the area studied, the quake moved the Calexico, Calif., region in a downward and southerly direction up to 80 centimeters (31 inches). The maps can be seen here.

A science team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., used the JPL-developed Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) to measure surface deformation from the quake. The radar flies at an altitude of 12.5 kilometers (41,000 feet) on a Gulfstream-III aircraft from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif.

I wonder if that's why the sea floor bottomed out - and why Canada and Sweden are having earthquakes.

Just makes you wonder, doesn't it? Maybe it's just Mother Earth shaking off the parasites. But it looks like those parasites are going to experience a fair change in their environment pretty soon.
Should be a fun ride.

Yea, Post Glacial Rebound !!

seafloor Down , Landmass Up !!!
