Keep them coming because these quakes are. No problem... I feel like a really huge quaketard, But this swarm is the strongest Nevada has had that I can remember. Can't help but be fascinated by it. So... Today's quakes so far....(next post) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 63767273 United States 11/09/2014 11:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well the quakes are new to this area. But not surprising as there are faults all over Nevada. If I can remember right, I think I first saw them start to pop Up late last year. And then this swarm picked up in July. What are you thinking about the pipeline? |

It is curious that Lassen Peak is also starting It's own little swarm. Definitely a lot of activity on the Border between Nevada and California. Lassen quake...2.6 [link to earthquake.usgs.gov] |
Space Poke User ID: 65000291 Canada 11/09/2014 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is a quote I trust for you. The Geologists Haven't a clue themselves. The Great Basin holds underground water, which does not drain to the Pacific but seeps underground. It is subject to mountain building, being on the western slope of the Continental Divide. Quake swarms occur most often in regions where there is underground water, which gets trapped and then later released as the rock layers slide during either stretch activity or mountain building activity. The water is essentially sloshing around underground, each time causing a minor quake. At times such activity will cause new lakes to form suddenly on the surface, or drain an existing lake. This is a factor of the N American bow, and the mountain building ongoing in the area, not magma movement. |

That water is basically percolating up through the rock. I was reading a little the other night about Nevada's EQ history And found this fascinating story the Indians told of water shooting Up a 100 feet in the air from a great quake at Pyramid Lake. It was in a newspaper from 1865. |

Very weak spot subject to great releases of pressure from all around the American plate. |
