Quake Watch 2012

reply to post by IzItTrU3

I have looking around your thread here for a little while and I wanted to finally to tell you PuterMan that I truly enjoy reading everything that you post. Even though I alot of it I don't understand. LOL... But on the other hand I really wanted to let you know that.

Thank you indeed as it is always good to know that the effort is appreciated BUT I am by no means the only contributor and many others post equally interesting items.

What part of WV was this?? Was it on the southern portion along the Appalachians or closer to the Ohio River? I tried looking for it, but it doesn't show up.

Love this post--I'm still smiling. Thanks for the handiwork.

Hey PM, this link is from station UW. TDH..SHZ located just a few km from the swarm at Mt. Hood, Oregon. Is the trace at approximately 08:21 UTC an avalanche? (the 7 minute long blue blob)

This link is to the Mag 3.4 Man-made activity. USGS puts it 21 miles WNW of Beckley

Nah that's a train!! (Sorry I seem to be saying that a lot recently.)

Here is the IRIS version. Looks quite impressive on this one. TDH.UW..EHZ.2012.055

Not sure - off to pull the data........


OK, back again. I did not want to say what I thought it was until I had a listen. As I suspected it is electrical / transmission/ ionospheric or maybe a tessla ray.

It is not seismic, i.e. not a quake, not a rock fall or avalanche, and not volcanic.

That was fast....and it is pretty.
I will be adding your images to my file with all the other samples--my seismo resources of what-is-what.

Thank you Sir!

Goodnight

Afore ye rush off you might want to hear it.

UW_TDH _EHZ_20120224-080000_2000sps.wav

By the way right at the start the signal looks like and sounds like a helicopter for a second. This is pure supposition - helicopter signal on seismo but then too close and causes interference? I say this because at the exit of the sounds it again sounds like a helicopter of a second or so. Only problem is that would be 1 am or thereabouts. Possible? I don't know.

I would love to have PNSN look at this one.

After listening again and checking back on other siesmos I see the signal on other days, and fainter on TIMB/HOOD. I am flipping back to electrical and local and guessing something going on at/from Government Camp? Maybe.

From elementary geography we have learnt the concept of tectonic plates boundaries. So it is common sense that in the event of a major earthquake if a piece of land is inundated by the ocean, a piece of land has to emerge from the ocean, for, the amount of water is constant on the earth.

Yet, my question is whether it is possible that large chunks of land sink into the ocean without equal land area emerging from the ocean. I tried to reason this myself, but was not convinced that it is a possible, may be I am missing something, which the members of ATS could tell me.

Oh.....my goodness. Sounds like you picked up an alien transmission!!!

I sent it off to PNSN

First welcome to ATS and to quake watch.

Here you will find some of the best information about earthquakes on the Internet. Why do I say that? Because the members who frequent this thread, and those who lurk and occasionally stick their heads up into the firing line on the whole produce excellent work that is based on facts.

You will find some of the alternative geophysical theories on this thread: Geophysics which is hosted by Zenius who you will also see on this thread.

Anything of a speculative nature to do with Yellowstone / Fracking / Arkansas / Bird Deaths / Hudson Bay / Life / Death / Resurrection / the Economy / Politics / Religion etc you can post on the thread hosted by Robin Marks/Eric Blair: Robinesque Ruminations

Volcano stuff you will find on Volcano Watch and last but by no means least the giant Yellowstone thread is a BIG read all about the Park that has passed page 700.

These and more ATS links, and links to many external sites you can find in my signature block and in the signatures of others.

Never be afraid to ask a question. We will always try to answer, and no one gets ridiculed here because of a lack of knowledge on what is a complex and multifaceted subject.

So........

So it is common sense that in the event of a major earthquake if a piece of land is inundated by the ocean, a piece of land has to emerge from the ocean, for, the amount of water is constant on the earth.

Is it? How so? Have a think about that again. A piece of land can sink and the ocean flow over it, and a piece of ocean floor rise and the the water flow off it. Neither event requires any change in the volume of water, only in the shape of the container. If all the land levelled out and all the ocean bed was levelled out, there would be endless ocean approximately 2.5 kilometres deep all over the globe. This would not require any change in the volume of water.

Sorry 'bout my quick exit--I'm sort of a hockey nut, and the game was starting...

That station sounded so lonely for the first bit, then "Bam" ....sounded like static as first..but I think westcoast nailed it--Aliens.

@westcoast--thanks for forwarding to PNSN, I'm curious to get their input.

You are right puterman... To everyone else that has posted on the thread, thank you for all the great information... I have enjoyed reading everyones input on earthquakes. This is a very interesting, educating thread. Keep up the great work everyone, I am looking foward to reading so much more in this thread and the others.....

Have a great day all!!!!!

Seems quite active..

Only 4 on USGS - four shocks you could say

What is going on north of Yellowstone, western Montana. Checked USGS this morning and the map looked like a shotgun blast pattern of tiny quakes. I am used to seeing a handful in the area, but so many now. Just looked odd to me. Thoughts?
