Quake Watch 2011

Heres an interesting one, 0km depth, at a Glacier in Canterbury
Not sure if the glacier is still there, maybe it has melted due to Global Warming already.

maybe MoorfNZ could pop over and have a look

Just as I had thought I could close July!!!!

For those of you interested in microseisms a little birdy told me that Wikipedia now have an article on it

Yes, I know it is Wikipedia, but the little birdy that emailed me just 10 minutes ago (on a Sunday) is someone pretty high up in the USGS who should be listened to.

Just curious is all. If it should be listened to, then why is it on Wikipedia and not on the USGS own site? Or was you just meaning that its being recognized more?
I noticed the Wikipedia page was just updated yesterday

Jus sayin it has been lots of sixes..
an eight might be comin?
completely baseless on my part

Or a big time volcano

I only had a moment to glance at the microsiesm page. Thanks.
Oklahoma woke up. Two small ones in the same old spot.
There's a line from Oklahoma City east to Tennessee.
None in the northeast US.
I swear they come in clusters and alternate between the region.

Dumb ass prediction.

South America. Chile or Agrentina. 7.8M

No, what I said was that the person in USGS is someone who should be listened to, and therefore if he sends me a link to Wikipedia I take it that he has looked at the article and approves. I did not say that he wrote the article.

I may be wrong but I think that one will be downgraded. Maybe not below 6. Time will tell.

Bit of a mini-swarm going on here in the Azores ..... not unusual to see them here but not usually so frequent.

Note the longitude also....almost the exact same spot each one - significant anyone?

Could you please at least make the effort to condense the copy and pasted down without the blank spaces and enclose the text in ex-text tags ( button above reply box) and attach the source link.

Thank you.

So.....do you "experts" think that 7......... 6.0+ in the Ring of Fire in just 8 days is significant?? I am really starting to cringe.....

muzzy:
the web page were the theory was is gone... it affected me couse it was very plausible..

oure magnetic field is generated in the friction of the inner core with its next layer...360 degrees turn in 26.800 years of the inner core...
remarkeble is that at an half /quarter /and eight of the cycle big events happend at geo levels...
so it has an point... (atlantis 13.000 years ago (half) / thera 3500(1/8 )
considering that at 2012 an new cycle begins...
so the magnetic force is deforming the continents...by the friction of the elecric fields as an generator...

The M6.2 that hit near the southern coast of Honshu in Japan this morning may well be something to keep an eye on. The area impacted is part of the Tokai Region, which is where the Japanese have long been expecting and preparing for a large quake that they call the Great Tokai Quake, which they feel may be overdue. Both Westcoast and True American have interesting threads on this here:

Is Japan at Risk of Another Great Quake?

and here:

Critical New Quake Could Mean Impending Disaster for Japan

Just thought those unaware might appreciate. Also, there are other related threads via ATS search or FE Forums. Am sure they all leave interesting trails for further info and research.

Kub

here you go hope this helps,, puterman i think is into wave harmonics vs resonance vs friction,,,stuff lol

that is if you dont already have it,, u guys are good.

reply to post by kubacs


Heh, you beat me to it. I have been busy and just got round to looking at this one.

Yes I agree, this is not the 'run of the mill' Honshu quake.

I suppose really the first thing to say to you is "Would you stop cringing!!"

Seriously, when all is said an done they are mag 6 - max mag 6.8 and really not anything to be getting too concerned about. Now if they were mag 7.5 upwards I might consider joining you in a good cringe.

ETA: That sort of came across wrong. They are still big quakes and several hundred thousand people were exposed to MMI VI with that one. I was meaning it in the sense that it is not a world catastrophe, a number of magnitude six quakes.

Rather than look at the number in the last few days consider the number in July as a whole. 18 in 31 days, a bit higher on average than last years over all, June was 11 and May was 7. April however was 17 - much the same in proportion as July.

There is still an amount of settling down to do. A mag 9 is a massive earthquake and shakes things up considerably.

And on a completely different note:

By the way did the editing area handle just appear in the edit box or have I been blind for some time? Really great being able to increase the edit area.
