earthquake.usgs.gov...

First Texas found new areas to create faults. Frackquakes are not only -in my humble opinion- causing old, ancient faults to become active, they are producing anthroprophic faults.

In English, mad-made earthquakes are causing man-made faults, which are causing bigger earthquakes and setting off regional natural faults.

Because the activity is not isolated. There is a clustering.
Now, Oklahoma chimes in within 15 hours of the Texas rumbles. Now in Texas there are about four separate and distinct, active seismic areas. WOW.

I thinks on the USGS summary for earthquakes the should explain that some of these quakes east of the Rockies in "stable" continental crust are mad made....


shhhhh

you'll wake Arkansas

I think I've reflected on the relationship of the three major "new" seismic zones on a state level.

If you start with the Arkansas swarm area and travel almost due west,you end up around the zone in Oklahoma.
Then, if you travel due south from Gastown- err, I mean Oklahoma City, you end up near Dallas and Refinery City.

It's almost a right angle. So, join Dallas to Central Arkanas and you got yourself a triangle.
And you thought the one near Bermuda was scary and satanic. Hell no. That imaginary geometric shape doesn't beat the new "triangle of fire". Well, if the professionals can have a ring of fire- I can make up a triangle of fire to describe the frackquake zone.

Is it normal that there is no earthquake the last 3 hours? I'm have the EMSC site running in the back all the time and can't remember so much time passing without a single quake. Just asking..


EDIT: Note to self. Don't ask stupid questions.

As soon as I posted my question Greece got hit twice...

I've never noticed that Japan had a "buildup" to a big event like Baja does, its always hard to see stuff like that when J has about 2x 4 Mags on average every day as "normal".

I think USGS and GFZ are a bit stingy, when JMA has 6.3ML

Any relationship/connection between the above 2 eq's?...are they on the same fault line perhaps?

Thanks..
If getting lucky is getting it right, I'll take it..
I've been watching Japan very closely, I find it fascinating that people can live in an area where 4mags are a daily occurrence, and be completely un-phased by it.
I bet the 6.3 made their hearts skip a beat though..
Hopefully that will be that, for a while at least..

According to the magnitude conversions that you found for us a 6.3ML (Japan) is ~6.16Mw which puts EMSC on the low rounding and USGS on the high rounding so both really, or certainly USGS, are in range.

Geofon on the other hand are low, but they usually are.

SCARDEC have it as 6.1


This time I think I would let USGS off (but they should not get complacent!)

Some may not consider this to be earthquake related, however is my opinion it is.

Solar cycles, 11 year and 55 year, and the 18 year Grand Conjunctions and various other movements all combine to affect the earth, and the earthquakes.

I believe we have just passed the top of the 55 year cycle where Mag 9s occur and are setting of on the downward slope to a period of relative calm such as in the mid 70s.

It seems that we have possibly passed solar max.

I will say that again. It seems that we may have passed solar max

So not only was it not detected it is only now becoming apparent. The number of sunspots does NOT bode well for the back end of the cycle. With effectively hardly any at Solar Max we could be seeing many spotless days next and future years.

This will affect the world temperature. Yes the sunspots affect temperature not CO2 despite what you may be told, or believe. We are going into a Dalton type minimum. Ice will increase, glaciers will advance, CO2 will continue going up for a while, and in places like Iceland the pressure on the sub glacial volcanoes will increase resulting in more earthquakes.

Generally however as I said the level of activity will decrease and by 2030 will be at a low level and it will be much colder. By 2060 it will have picked up again as we top the next 55 year cycle and the warmists will be praising St Gore and braying (again) about how runaway global warming will kill us all.
