WOW!!!! They are really rockin now. I have to wonder at the impact these huge/deep quakes will have on the rest of our planet. I am a firm believer in cause/affect. You take an object that is filled with fluid and hit one side hard enough, it is going to reverberate out and impact other areas. Now whether or not these events are big enough to have those affects actually felt by us (in other areas) is yet to be seen.

Thanks for the heads up for the info............ I just got back on so I missed everything and when I saw this thread I glanced over it quickly and went straight to IRIS for a number.

Ok now i am getting a bit nervous,there is no where to run and hide in this place,I am looking for animals running away but it's raining pretty heavily at the moment here in Manila.Are deep quakes a problem ?

So Puterman, or anyone else who knows: what are some of the deepest recorded quakes? I know you had posted some charts awhile back showing depth and frequency. I think it would be good to know right now. This last one was the deepest so far at 614 km. WOW.


For those that don't realize how far reaching the P waves reach on these quakes (the affects of which are greater the deeper they go) check out these links:

MOUNT BAKER: WASHINGTON STATE


SEISMOS FROM AROUND THE WORLD


Keep in mind that these are delayed a bit, so the first ones are just starting to show up!

OK....they briefly mentioned it on Fox just now.

The last two have been upgraded. Both listed now at 7.4, the last one at 614 km deep.

Man, they are getting rocked down there

Man, that's three 7+ in just over an hour.

Google Earth already shows the quakes. I've never seen that before.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it isn't even on an actual main faultline by the looks of RSOE , could it be a new island trying to pop up?

Just guessing - I've been watching in an amateurish way for about two years now and never seen 3 consecutive 7 pointers anywhere, they usually dissipate.
