Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by BobAthome


Well I am not sure I understood what you said, but increase? What increase? That was the point I was trying to make. If you remove Japan there is no increase.

And to both you and lildrummerboy, yes the sun is not as active as it was. Whilst we ramp up to the lowest solar max in years the levels are markedly lower than in other solar cycles. IF the sun manages to get to a solar max in 2013 it might be at the 70 spots level. That is WAY below other years so how can anyone attribute increased earthquakes to increased solar activity when neither is taking place?

Note also that NASA count spots that were NEVER counted before and even ones that don't qualify by their own published standards because they are so desperate to try and make out that the Sun is not going to sleep for a long time - about 30 years. It knocks the hell out of their theories when the temperatures drop due to lower solar activity and they can't cite a 'global climate warming change disaster' that will melt all the polar ice caps. Despite them moving, or rather cherry picking, all the stations that measure the global temperatures in positions guaranteed to be affected by the Urban Heat Island, and despite losing all stations above certain altitudes and latitudes, they still cannot manage more than a lousy 0.1 deg C.

If they had the proper instrumentation and figures they would be forced to publish that it is getting colder, and it will get colder still, and we need CO2 to mitigate as much as possible of this. That nasty poison might just save us.

You need to read up on Landscheidt.

I read somewhere on this site, that the graph showed the most activity in the lull following a big burst, or three.........We shall see.

2.1 richter at 5km depth at Hekla.

No aftershocks where recorded after this earthquake and nothing suggests that a Hekla volcano is about to erupt at present time. But that can change without warning at any time.

Well I can spell either, it is other words I have a problem with like and commonly spelt nad and other such simple things. I also seem to have a big problem holding down the shift key long emough to make a captial I, but I guess you really don't care about all this do you box? You just want to know why yet again i had to invoke you and cast magyk spells and incantations in an attempt to correct my speeling eras.

I cALL it Finger-Dislexia. I have a common 'form' in stead of 'from' and others like double LL, MM,FF, PP's.
Maybe fingers are too slow for mind. And off-course - eyes see what they are suppose to see, not what they do see.

Yes absolutely - all of that. It nevre cseaes to azmae me hwo we cna read jumlbed sentnceas, almost without pausing. The brain is truly a wonderful thing. No computer could do that - easily.

'Tis about now we are supposed to be fried by the big flare here in Ireland, so it is - time was 1400 + or - 7 so if it has not yet then maybe it is still to come or maybe there is not such a magnetic component

Gakona Z latest

On your theory that it needs time to work it's way into the 'infrastructure' what sort of time span do you consider to be reasonable after a magnetic anomaly is recorded to be able to say - yes that earthquake was caused by XYZ flare?

1 day, 3 days, 5 days? Would this depend on the magnetic variation? I am still trying to relate these flares to earthquakes, but so far most of what I am seeing proves that earthquakes cause solar flares!!!! (Well magnetic anomalies anyway )

PM, I'm a long time lurker on the Fragile Earth threads (the EQ and Volcano Watches threads are what brought me to ATS)...I have learned A LOT of reading and following your and other posters' links on the threads). Your explanation above of the science (lack of sun activity) vs. political paradigm (its Globull Warming and we are all going to die!) Is about as clear and concise as any...and should be cut and pasted and reposted.

There is NO political gain to be made in recognizing Solar Minimums (no redistribution of wealth or control over the 'haves.') But that doesn't stop the narrative that 'its all man caused.'

Thanks for the understandable explanation, well done!

Well I personally am bugging out about what is going on over in the Canary Islands. The swarm seemed to be slowing then yesterday, there was 484 quakes and as of this post there have been so far today 412 quakes.

I have been looking for Tremor plots and have been unable to find any. Any one of you have a link?

reply to post by Anmarie96


Seismograms and spectrum plots

Always try QVSData first

ETA: And of course the earthquakes link for information from the mouth of the donkey.




You see, you had the earthquake link - the rest was close at hand:

Vigilancia Volcánica then Señales Sísmicas

Don't worry, I did not spot that myself and it was a link on this thread that alerted me to that.





ETA again: And as I have said before Yellowstoner had 3000 and Baja California had 24,000 earthquakes, so this has a way to go yet!

Soo on many stations on GEE, The readings are ringing like a bell on many diff seismo locations, but no majoy earthquake has been reported anywhere.... can someone else confirm this? I have yellowstone lkwy sanandreas bk.sao and a location in oregon pulled up and they are acting like there had been a major earthquake somewhere, the p-waves i guess thats what they are called

reply to post by steve95988


But a major solar flare and that affects the seismos.

Yea i just chked on www2.nict.go.jp... and yup, ur right, looks like that cme hit about the time i noticed supposed p-waves, but were in fact solar activity, wow, simply amazing of that stuff works

I'm not liking this activity coupled with the mini swarm in the Azores region.... The 1755 earthquake in that region resonated all the way round to a high hilltop I lived nearby in Southern Spain , the church had been re-built - trouble is there is no exact data being so long ago as to the real origin and run up to that great earthquake. I shall have to post this and search some more.... the data says Portugal I know, but what of the bumps out in the Atlantic is my worry ?

I prefer the beeb to Wiki

further to post by muzzy

looks way bigger than a 5.3 to me

reply to post by muzzy


RAO.IU.10.BHZ.2011.217

Agreed. Closer to a 6 would have said. Looks around 5.8

ETA: Phase data says not however. Very odd that.

hi all,

this is the first MAG 5+ in JAPAN

thanks USGS: earthquake.usgs.gov...


i was thinking this E/Q should of happened days ago...

but thats just my opinion...

reply to post by shaneR


I guess that depends on who you look at. EMSC has a 5.0 yesterday at 10:53, but USGS rated it 4.9.

JMO agrees with the USGS in this instance, but there are many times when it does not!
