Wow another huge quake! Only 95miles from Mohean, Nicobar Islands, India. I don't know how this is going to turn out, but a 7.7 is huge, and this constant supply of earthquakes from mother nature is really hurting us badly this year.

As opposed to the constant supply of earthquakes from mother nature every other year. Honestly, read more of that USGS site you're linking:
Earthquake Facts and Statistics
We got more earthquakes in this range last year, and we're now, halfway through the year, at about half the average for this range of quake.
But hey, what the heck. I'll join in. The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

No offense to you, but you are showing 9.5 years worth of statistical analysis for the 4.5 billion-year-old Earth and then claim that recent activity is "higher" than usual. Ever taken a statistics course? You should!

Well no offense to you but he has shown the average quake activity since 1900 and squared it up against the activity since 2000. And I'd like to know where he or I could get ahold of earthquake records for 4.5 billion years, got any links?

Yeah, you're right...I'm sorry. OMG let's all freak out then...
The EQ activity is within the statistical norms...but hey, let's jump on the bandwagon with someone whom hasn't really proven anything...I can certainly tell it's summertime and the gullible school kids have idle hands.

Sad really, especially from someone who claims to be so intelligent. Maybe you need more wisdom to see the error in your ways.
From my perspective reporting on this type of thing seems to have risen recently giving the impression of more activity.
With the numbers stated here

That information is from the ONE source we've been using for the whole thread, but it's here: USGS Earthquake Facts
You jumped a little too quickly on your insult in my opinion...
Comparing one year to an average of 110 is pretty standard procedure.
Since the Richter Scale was invented in the 1900s I'm not sure your argument applies anyhow...[edit on 12-6-2010 by Thermo Klein]

Well...at least we get a source...you really should source any work that is not your own.
Still, there is no statistical anomaly here....there have been much more active years in the past century...it's cyclic.
Start crying about the sky falling when there is something to prove that it is...
If you want to be serious about seismology, then treat the subject with some respect...and due diligence.
I'm not saying the sky is falling but some of those numbers are significantly higher than average, since 2007 mainly.
