Earthquakes turn water into gold.

I was bored and looking at different websites, came across a pretty interesting article that I thought I would share with the ATS community.




Earthquakes have the Midas touch, a new study claims.

Water in faults vaporizes during an earthquake, depositing gold, according to a model published in the March 17 issue of the journal Nature Geoscience. The model provides a quantitative mechanism for the link between gold and quartz seen in many of the world's gold deposits, said Dion Weatherley, a geophysicist at the University of Queensland in Australia and lead author of the study.

When an earthquake strikes, it moves along a rupture in the ground — a fracture called a fault. Big faults can have many small fractures along their length, connected by jogs that appear as rectangular voids. Water often lubricates faults, filling in fractures and jogs.

Some pretty interesting stuff right there. Enjoy.

It is interesting because I've always heard the area near where I live has gold and it does in fact exist on a fault line.

Now all we need is some sleazy corporation trying to mine fault lines for Gold.

Could be an explanation to the "manmade earthquakes" ie HAARP, i mean gold is the precious metal egyptians were slaved to mine, maybe its gold harvesting time..again..

I can't say for sure if HAARP is real or not, I don't know where I stand on that one, but IF it is real then watch out. Quakes will be goin' off like crazy. Get out the drills and shovels.

Or creating earthquakes to create gold?
It could happen.
