Actually March in Dutch is Maart according to Google translate.

Yes both words mean March, try it for yourself, translate Mars from Dutch to English, you get March, do it the other way around you get Maart.

"Mars" in Dutch is a march (you know, like soldiers marching), "Maart" is the month March.

The month March in Dutch is Maart.
To march, in Dutch, along with the planet Mars is Mars. Contextual difference
Back OT, does the quake graph someone posted/linked look like a regular quake? No pre-shocks or rumbles, just a huge "bang" that dies down... Hoping an expert can chime in.

That's the nature of most Norwegian quakes, they are often belived to be dynamite explosions.

Really?

The name March comes from...

The name of March comes from ancient Rome, when March was the first month of the year and named Martius after Mars or Ares, the Greek god of war. In Rome, where the climate is Mediterranean, March was the first month of spring, a logical point for the beginning of the year as well as the start of the military campaign season. January became the first month of the calendar year either under King Numa Pompilius (c. 713 BC) or under the Decemvirs about 450 BC (Roman writers differ). The numbered year began on March 1 in Russia until the end of the 15th century. Great Britain and its colonies continued to use March 25 until 1752, which was when they ultimately adopted the Gregorian calendar. Many other cultures and religions still celebrate the beginning of the New Year in March.

March

Spanish: andar

BTW - Marching in Dutch is marcherend in Norwegian it's marsjerende

That magnitude quakes are not uncommon around Scandinavia. Caused be post-glacial rebound I guess, as this was very near to surface. Earthquakes here can be felt far away, as rock here is very solid, not fractured like areas with stronger earthquakes. We had magnitude 3.? earthquake, near coast of Sweden in 2010. It was felt over 150 kilometers from epicenter, even though it was very weak. It was also first earthquake I have felt.

Well, I guess it's the word of native Dutch speakers against the word of 'Babylon 9'. Maybe I should ring up the Dutch Language Union to let them know some Israeli computer program has a different opinion about our language

By the way, "marcheren" is the verb derived from the noun "mars".

Really? We are arguing about the translation of March?

Really?

Face palm.

Would appreciate someone familiar with the subject at hand commenting. Please examine the following picture. It compares a (nuclear) detonation to a genuine earthquake. Someone on page one linked or posted a seismograph reading for this quake which looks suspiciously like...well, I'll let you be the judge.

I really don't care just trying to figure out what the hell the article the op was referring to says and then people go on the attack. Sorry, just fending off attacks, my bad, you say 1 thing and there is 20 people chomping at the bit to tell you "you're wrong"

I think this site has turned into more of a bad day at the comedy house

Hey now, the guy wants to learn. Isn't that what we're here for?

It's not like this minor earthquake is getting any less attention because of it.

This looks very interesting and scary.
Does anyone have an idea on why the shape of this so called Earthquake looks of?

Could this be an last test for the Seed bank they have in Scandinavia ( Norway, Sweden and Denmark )

No-one is attacking you. Friendly people are informing you that your "guess" (your own word) about a foreign language was incorrect. Now you could go correcting others making the same mistake

reply to post by cayote


The seed bank is about 1300 miles to the north of the epicenter of this minor quake. I'm guessing the seeds survived.

Question: Given the shallow depth of 1 km, and location close to several oil fields. (They have been sucking the area dry for 30-40 years now and are still going)

Could this be the result of the sea-floor caving in as a result of drilling?

Meeh, I couldn't feel anything

Well I don't know how to read those graphs, but I went through two quakes now in the past two years. The first one was a 3.6 I think, near my home, and had a loud boom then some moderate shaking that quickly died down. If I were asked to draw it using squiggles, my drawing would look like the graphs in red. The second quake was the 5.8 in Virginia. I was too far from the epicenter to note the bang sound some people heard with that one. If I were to represent the shaking with squiggles, it looks like the blue graph.

When I looked up earthquake history for my region, there were similar accounts for similar quakes and that was all well before nukes or even automatic weapons. If there were nukes involved in any of this wouldn't someone find and report high radiation readings?

read the story ,, the mag was 4.2 and i live in voss and felt nadda.. too bad i missed it ...

Funny how the topic has become the word for March. Your list here is refering to the wrong word.
At least, for french, the word used for "to march" (or walk) is used (marcher). The word for the month in french is "mars".
