Just wanted to put this out there especially to the ones that say, "earth quakes happen all the time." Well there has been an abnormal number, though my professor said that nothing was mentioned whether or not the LARGER quakes have increased. She also said its "not a matter of if, but when," the big one hits here on the west coast.
Peace,

Just caught the morning headlines... A 6.2 hit Panama this morning. Seems to be more and more of the earthquake there, then one over here, one down there, and one up over there...

You keep saying there are 'more earthquakes' now.
Can you prove this?

Saying the 'big one' will hit the west coast is nothing new. People have been saying this for a century, at least. It's hardy a 'prediction' as much as an inevitability. And considering the 'west coast' extends from Alaska to Mexico, it's a pretty vague one.
As for your professor's claim that quakes are increasing, did she provide you with some data showing this?

I was just wondering on what information the observation was made. And I'm not questioning your professors as much as the claim. You can hopefully understand that I dont know you or your professors, so asking for more than second hand information seems a reasonable request. When I read a post saying 'i heard in a class', it's no really the same thing as being in the class myself.
thanks for the link, i'll give it a read.
ETA: I'm still a bit incredulous after reviewing your link. The first red flag was the reference to the Bible as a source.
The second is that the graph they give showing an increase of earthquakes appears to be based on data from earthquake.usgs.gov... , butbtI'm curious if the 'increase' is only in RECORDED earthquakes, as the amount of recording centers has likely increased in the past decade, and not the earthquakes themselves.(?)
IF you have a different reading of that data and can correct me I am open to being proven incorrect.edit on 30-4-2011 by incrediblelousminds because: (no reason given)edit on 30-4-2011 by incrediblelousminds because: (no reason given)

My brother lives in alex and i would like to call him when he becomes available to talk to me about it. I would like some input on this.
