New faultline found beneath Canterbury

Yes, it's all over the news here, obviously. Nothing any of us hadn't really already thought, tbh!!

I just wish the media would do a more "informed" job of disseminating this information instead of the usual attention grabbing headlines (23% chance of big one).... "77% chance of not having a big one" doesn't sell papers.

Many people have also jumped on the map showing chch with several yellow lines on it and are saying these are the faults... they are NOT! They are the survey lines along which their equipment traveled!! Quite obvious when you realise that all the lines follow roads!!

I did, but it was from March. The helicorder showed the lines were all over the place. I wish I was able to access it. I had a link to it, but since they moved the data, the link no longer works.

water causes earthquakes.

I went to USGS.gov about 10 minutes ago. They listed a 3.1 quake in Wyoming. The size (red box) looked a bit larger than 3.1, but what I noticed was, 10 minutes later, I checked back & they wiped it all out. NOTHING!
I saw the same thing happen about 1 & 1/2 weeks ago. A quake of similar magnitude near Yellowstone area, then a few minutes later it was not there anymore.

I've been reading how people are noticing they are making changes on the earthquake/seismo sites.
Did anyone else see the Wyoming quake before it disappeared?

aftershocks of the 6.2?

Well... the USGS removed a 3.1 that showed up in Wyoming a little bit ago. I had copied the information and pasted it in an email to a friend, along with my comments of "Betchya this one disappears."

And poof... it's gone.

Thank you for sharing that.

However it is not showing on the maps, nor is it in the list of 2.5+ earthquakes. They removed it. You must have found a special spot that haven't gotten to yet. Because it was indeed on the maps and in the list of 2.5+, when it first happened. LOL

the cordon caule volcano in chile just erupted... www.nu.nl...
argetine EQ's just 46km away from it....
tell me there's no relation between the events...
I am wondering for an long time that many EQs are near to volcano's at coupple of 10 km away... I"msure they must be connected even experts say they do'nt.... the above events tells me that they are... thought?

Here is a link in English

wireupdate.com...

reply to post by PuterMan

...................................................................................................................................................... .
The National Office of Emergency of the Interior Ministry (ONEMI) initially ordered the evacuation of around 700 people after a rapid increase of activity at the volcano. At one point, seismologists detected an average of 230 earthquakes per hour, 12 of which had a magnitude of more than 4.0 on the Richter scale.
.....................................................................................................................................................< br />
so they DO relate eq's 46 km away from it.....:-)

Good one, seen the quakes on the lists too

from the link PM put on

The last time the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle vents erupted was on May 24, 1960, 38 hours after a massive 9.5-magnitude earthquake struck off Chile.
Earthquakes can sometimes cause volcanoes to erupt.

Rare one a few days ago
Auckland Province, New Zealand

you normally only see one or two a year up/ over there, this one on the east side of the Hunuas.
Could be an extension of the Kerepehi Fault.
I'm surprised that GNS hasn't mapped out the Auckland Volcanic Zone with Faultlines on the database, they must be all over the area. maps.gns.cri.nz...

Now this is interesting. I am not even sure where this is, I'll have to do some research, but while looking through all the siesmos on the PNSN network I came across THIS.

It is at Hogback Mountain, Oregon. HERE is the source. If you look at the past few days, you'll see yesterday there were some wierd signals and now a bit ago this broke out.

Off to do some research.... (beautiful, sunny day here on the westcoast)

Very interesting show on NatGeoTv about man-made disasters .
Dams and mining causing earthquakes.

Man-made earthquakes? Tornadoes caused by U.S. cities? Volcanoes activated by humans? NGC examines how efforts to harness natural resources can trigger natural disasters. Watch how a Chinese dam weighing as much as 3,000 Empire State Buildings caused tremors that claimed the lives of 90,000 people. Witness how another dam could trigger mudslides that bury millions. Investigate how growing urban areas can cause tornadoes and how mining and drilling have activated deadly mud volcanoes. Read more: channel.nationalgeographic.com...

This is related but not confirmed.
I am posting this as reference:

As of the past 9 hours there were quite strong magnetic flux and Proton emissions from the sun.
This caused a series of reasonably strong magnetic flux variations.
Current solar wind speed about 560 km/sec = slightly higher than normal but not strangely so.
These events on the sun are NOT related to big solar flares; during this past 24 hours there were only three minor solar flares with maximum B7.8.

My theory is that exactly this kind of environment are triggering Geological events. Here there would be no link to Solar flares; but we do have a lot of cosmic activities.

Effects should be visible on Earth from about 04h00 GMT today (5 June) and for the present it will last for at least 32 hours. Some parts of the solar radiation are faster than others.

Considering the typical trigger there could be abnormal earthquakes and/or volcano from GMT 09h00 today 5 June until about GMT 20h00 on 6 June; unless the current conditions extend the time.

Here I will trust very much on Putterman and Muzzy to say whether there are abnormal incidents. Please?

At least I do expect an increase in numbers of quakes all over the world, but not really higher intensity. I do NOT expect anything more than 6.8 based on the strength of this flux radiation to present. As for normal - they will be there, might be affected et all but we can never be sure. Off course upset areas like Japan, Western USA and Med might be triggered; however in these cases we will not be able to say it was defiantly due to solar. If something happens, I would be able to trace time back to the sun and estimate, on position of Earth, if this could be related.

There is also a fairly good possibility for strange weather behaviour, but that I am following on another site.

Here is a selection of pictures: Normal, Normal and on the right - Not-So-Normal today.

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/974e7ed25db7.jpg[/atsimg]

Possible there are pressure from opposite side of sun?
Especilly since both N and S are pressed back towards the sun

N-flux flows all downwards and away = but S-flux is only pressed in near Earth ??
This is not normal magnetic behaviour; almost like monopole some distance away.

Wonder if there are/were similar strange observations on magntic fileds on Earth itself.
