Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1317176And I ain't a pin beggar either,,,,I said Pin Suggested. You are detracting from the issue here, that amount of activity is NOT normal which is why I suggested a Pin so we can keep an eye on the unfolding events - it may amount to nothing but it is hightly unusual for all those magnitude earthquakes - hell I'd be worried, they are closer to your country than they are to mine. |

Here is an interesting article from the white house. [link to www.whitehouse.gov] Understanding Earthquakes and Their Impacts: Part I Posted by Tammy Dickinson and David Applegate on May 10, 2011 at 10:46 AM EDT Ed. Note: This is the first of a two-part blog focusing on the science and aftermath of earthquakes. Part I focuses on the science of a high-magnitude earthquake and whether one could happen in the United States. Tomorrow, Part II will focus on What We Can Do About It. Part I: Could a 9.0 Happen Here? *SNIP* Four deadly earthquakes in just over a year—Haiti, Chile, New Zealand, and now Japan—have provided sudden reminders of the tectonic forces active beneath our feet. Perhaps more importantly, they serve as reminders that disasters resulting from those earthquakes are not the work of nature alone. Even in the face of such giant forces, societal decisions before and after an earthquake can have a major impact on the amount of damage, lives lost, and other outcomes. So while scientists and engineers share in society’s obligation to help the victims, we have an additional responsibility to learn from these events and share lessons that can be applied to vulnerable communities—not only abroad, but also here in the United States. To make those wise decisions requires some basic geology. Most people know that the crust of the Earth is broken into about a dozen major sections, or plates, (and a number of smaller ones) that slowly move against one another. And when plates collide, the rock material in the collision zone is strained and eventually either breaks or slips along the boundary, causing an earthquake. Less widely appreciated is that the largest earthquakes occur along plate boundary zones where one plate is driven down beneath another. Most of these “subduction zones” are located around the rim of the Pacific Ocean in what is known as the Ring of Fire, so called because these regions are also particularly prone to volcanic eruptions.*SNIP* |
