I did look at The overall history of Australia.

I think it's interesting because it seems that N/S fault is so close.

I have never really looked at Australia as a tectonic landmass.

I have some good reading to do.

Thanks Muzzy.

Omg. How cool, and yet how.....

Do other counties have this? that you are aware of?

I have seen similar before, but they weren't part of an interactive page, more to do about explaining earthquake intensity
not sure if it was Mexico or some where they wrote in Spanish, I can't open Mexico SSN at the moment to look.
I think Canada EQ has the same type of cartoon somewhere on their site.
JMA have a picture scale pdf
in English
I guess it is good to help explain it if you don't speak the language

interesting, they must be reviewing the data, 3 new events inserted

edit 30 minutes after first edit;
My Bing Map version

addendum to: muzzy post
ran out of time

I did a file covering "The Center" back in 2013 after that 5.7 near the SA border, file has 2697 events on it so I can't really "Bing it"
Here is the file anyway, highest 200 in the Center. If you have Google Earth you could use this link dl.dropboxusercontent.com...


edit:
another Bing Map, I expanded the search area a bit CentralRanges-Uluru History, 165 events, earliest recorded in this area 1971. But bet the Aborigines would have some earlier stories to tell.

FWIW that 2013 5.7 I mentioned has since been downgraded to 5.4Mwp.

update on: Central Ranges,NT post
25 new events overnight
Links on above post are updated

Duplications of Lat/Long are driving me crazy.
Not just at Mt. Holdsworth, but on some of the old data I have gathered for the Strongest Quakes blog.
I started going through and changing to the square icons @ 1867. Thats all good.
But when I attempted 1868 I found 3 duplicates
So what to do, only one event shows on the popup tag from the icon.
It works OK if you use the list on the left, but that's probably not everyones method of viewing, so ...........
In the "About" page a new *

* Note on Lat/Long Locations
On some of the older years maps (e.g. 1868) there are several separate events which have the same latitude/longitude, this is partly due to poor detail in the data. They may in fact have been at the exact same location, but it is unlikely. Because the square icons are 50% opacity these will show on the Bing interactive map as 100% opacity. But only one event will show on the popup tag when you click on the icon. For clarification on the maps I have added 0.0001 to both Lat and Long on one of the dual events, so that in maximum zoom (down to 100ft) the two icons split apart and you can click on the icon for details.

Using the list on the left works better though

I don't think 0.0001 degrees should make that much difference, shucks even EMSC only uses 2 decimal points, and they never agree with USGS as to the location anyway.

I reckon Captain Cook would have been able to handle it, if I sent him across the World to a point that was 100ft out I don't think he would be too pissed off and have me lashed on the mast. (watched a doco about him last night, what a guy)



Yeah found another duplicate, South of Panama 1871, a 7.0 and a 6.5 which were 3 months apart, but right on top of each other. I split those by 100ft too. 1871? South of Panama? Panama was a department of Colombia then, didn't become a country of its own until 1903.

Some of the earlier events are now reviewed. 51 aftershocks so far
Main shock 6.1Mw, 6.4Ms, 6.1ML
Locations changed from Central Ranges, Northern Territory to Petermann Ranges, NT.

ATS search will not work at all now for me.
never did find stuff!
and Google only founf one relevant item.

in the last two days the north pole had two quakes at 4.7.
why nothing in the news?
not some thing that happens every 6 years?

one post on ATS about pole jump.
did I miss any other info?
and can you say more one this please?

a reply to: buddha

Could you please show a link for these earthquakes?

I have checked sources and I find no earthquakes for the North pole.

This one today in Alaska.

I also found these.

Well I'll be..

Definitely great work on your part.



I could not find those.

If you have time, could you explain to me how you found those?

I was looking for "Northpole Region earthquakes" and I tried it a couple other ways. I don't remember how I worded it.

a reply to: crappiekat


If you Use Earthquake 3D and look 3 and 3 1/2 day ago.
its at a Supervolcano! BIG! its UNnamed.
sorry its a program you install.
you will seem them very close to the noth pole. two at "4.7".
Linkes
* youtube Supervolcano!
youtube
duchsine ?

finding more now? search yahoo. Earthquake north pole.
its not just me!

oh! and on Earthquake 3D it has a LOT more than normal quakes!
Please! watch the first Link from 4:30. he does good quake post Too.

hes saying he found pumping and fraking at quake sites?
and one was said to be a quarry blast.
he could not find any quarry at site.

makes Me think US is making medium quakes?

a reply to: crappiekat

Well when he said 4.7 and northpole i was just assuming he meant those two quakes. Because i have USGS tab set on 2.5 worldwide past 7days and those were the only two showing up there. Than went to search the archives. It lets you draw a rectangle on the map which i did in that area. Set Mag to 2.5 - 8 and time from 1800 to present. Clicked search and took me to that map (sometimes it takes awhile to load depending on area and how far back you choose).

It's doesn't seem busy. I wouldn't even pipe up, but, Mexico isn't showing any earthquakes on their page. It's broken. I feel blind. I had been watching that one in particular, and now it's not there. It was one of the few places that was still busy. Now, I'll lose the "feel' for what's normal on a daily basis. Oh well, The other swarms in Nevada are still going but very small by comparison to earlier. Otherwise, yes, Greece and thereabouts seemed to have a small uptick recently. I hate saying it, if we wake up tomorrow, and Turkey has had a big one, there should be no surprise. Please don't think I'm forgetting Nepal, but if you are talking about the "Middle East", mainly Iran, and around Turkey/Greece, overall, I would have to say, that area "is too quiet".

Dang it. The window for edits closed. As soon as I said the areas I check are quiet. Nicaragua comes back to life. And I wouldn't have even wrote anything except it's right under Conception. A big volcano. Earthquakes may be on a down tick lately, but as for volcanoes, there seems to be an uptick. Hmmm. Seems backward. Nonetheless. Here's the thing. They keep saying these earthquakes, and the volcanoes of Nicaragua are not connected. Well again, observation shows this ain't true. I've been watching for I think a year now. And a bit before that. Many of the volcanoes were restless and erupting at about the same time. Then, as I watched, they all quieted down. There was little bits of small stuff, but overall, there was an obvious drop-off with eruptions, but also, there was a very noticeable drop off in earthquakes. Again, how can we keep saying coincidence.

Up until this Conception earthquake, I thought I was watching paint dry, and really wondering why I'm watching. But that's the point really. I have to watch even when it's really slow. Otherwise, I'd miss the general trend that show this basic stop to all the Nicaraguan activity. Even Telica's tremor is lower and Negro is slowed, etc.

Earthquakes, and volcanoes, cluster and this means in a larger context there is a connection and it is more than just local stresses.

It was not a shallow earthquake though. Deep. Magma
