Earthquakes happening between California and Nevada.

I was just at the Latest Earthquakes M3.0 + Page and noticed these earthquakes/aftershocks. I looked at the map of where they are located, and it seems to be right in between California, and Nevada.

Seems odd to me.

The first thing that came into my head when I saw the location of these earthquakes/aftershocks, was how i've heard about California breaking off from the US, and either sinking, or becoming an Island.

But how likely that is? Im not sure, but you never know.

My first thought was it was deliberate since both CA and NV are bankrupt. I hope HAARP is still busy rearranging the jet stream and hasnt gone to work on earthquakes.

i came acrossed your posted here and it intrested me so that i looked it up
on google earths its very nice
not only are these earthquakes on the border but there grouped so closely together
and there not the only ones there ever where on the borders of california even in places that dont have volcanic activity...i find this od as well

Hey, thanks for your reply.

I found it odd as-well. It's nothing but desert out there.

Their is a Fault Zone that is close by called the Furnace Creek Fault Zone

I've never heard of it before until now. Maybe the fault zone is begining to feel more and more weak from all the aftershocks and such?.

As far as science understands faults and plate tectonics, California is not going to fall into the ocean. If it does, modern geologic science will have to throw out most all their reference books and start from scratch.

I noticed looking at the maps that there were several small quakes west, in the Mammoth Lakes area that could have shifted tensions to the east, causing this week's quakes.

Mammoth is actually a very active region, and a hot spot like yellowstone is as well, so quakes in the region aren't out of place at all.

Thanks for posting that link.

I found this to be interesting;

Long Valley was formed 760,000 years ago when a huge volcanic eruption released very hot ash that later cooled to form the Bishop tuff that is common to the area. The eruption was so colossal that the magma chamber under the now destroyed volcano was significantly emptied to the point of collapse. The collapse itself caused an even larger secondary eruption of pyroclastic ash that burned and buried thousands of square miles. Ash from this eruption blanketed much of the western part of what is now the United States. Geologists call topographic depressions formed in this manner calderas.

I also forgot about the Hot Springs that are near where I live. We have alot of Geo Thermal Plants set up and being set up here aswell.

Earthquakes in Calif.?

Geez who knew!

Just because everybody has internet access and can constantly check earthquakes and get freaked out about them now like they are all of a sudden happening,does not mean they haven't been happening forever.

This location that is alluded to is in Death Valley the lowest point in the continental U.S.

Do you know what is happening there now.

It is raining!

Buckets upon buckets of water.

Do you know what happens when millions of gallons of water accumulates in a spot that is usually dry?

It causes earthquakes from the weight of the water!

Happens EVERY year about this time.

rain induced earthquakes.

that could possibley be
ive been looking in that area for any building
in response to the haarp thing the other user posted and so for nothing really
couple mounds that look outta place
but also super close to that is the castle witch is where my suspition arises cause theres some building there
that dont match ya know? they dont exactly look sheddish either

Wouldn't be the first time...Ever seen a square globe?

I live in Apple Valley and Death Valley is about one hundred and fifty miles to our north. I thought I was feeling a few shakers recently. Been in So.Cal. so long the little ones arn't even noticed. I have to say it rains there more than you think. However it brings no mercy from the unbelievable heat. Humidity is nothing nice in Death Valley.
I must say, I have never seen so much consistancy at Scotty's Castle before. Being a phenomena in it's own rite and in the middle of a highly paranormal zone. The Native Americans say the place is cursed. I believe them full on.

No, sounds really funny though!
But really, in the 60's geosciences made leaps and bounds with plate tectonics theory. It's really the grand unifying theory of geology. Could it be wrong? Sure, I guess...I'm willing to admit if I am wrong...

When Cali drops in, U2U me a big fat and I'll eat the crow!
