Quake Watch 2024

Hello Earticans!!!

Welp, we saw action here n the EQ area last year. Even MSM started talking about the “Ring of Fire”.

Last year link: Quake Watch 2023.

Either our world view is… too… short (??), or too confined to see the big picture. So we keep watching.

If you need/want to post an event and don’t want to start a new thread, then you’re in the right spot. If you have just been through one, please take it seriously and stay safe!

Swarms, faults, Ring of Fire, and other strange tidbits (like shockwaves circling the earth), is the intention of the thread, not political brawling so source your post (if possible) as with all ATS posts.

And have a Happy New Year!!

I'm glad you started this thread! I miss our old quake master!

I've been wondering why we are having these small quakes in non ordinary spots, like New York, Canada (Michigan border, felt in MI), Indiana, ect.

Then we get the one in Japan, which is bigger, and a bit more "normal".

I am a bit concerned, not gonna lie.

The strange places EQs are appearing (east coast) is to be noted.

I wonder if this is a huge tectonic event or just resettling from the other side of the continent.

I am curious about PR and Cuba now…

Could it be something to do with the mid-Atlantic Ridge perhaps?

Earthquakes in diverse places?!

Oh my.

S&F thanks for the quake thread🤙

Quake:

Yeah that was a groundbreaking game by id Software… John Carmack with music by 9”Nails.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Lol. Didn't even get swayed awake.

The window of likelihood this was a foreshock declines every hour. Generally in the first week, but sometimes months even years apart.

Boo Earthquake too weak to wake me up.

So, also in NE Ohio apparently, again?
Didn't realize until I went looking, they are known for earthquakes. Interesting.

Also West Texas and Oklahoma.



And why it is not a good idea to inject wastewater into ancient cracks because you might awaken an ancient fault system.

Many of them.

The Nemaha Ridge (also called the Nemaha Uplift and the Nemaha Anticline) is located in the Central United States. It is a buried structural zone associated with a granite high in the Pre-Cambrian basement that extends from approximately Omaha, Nebraska to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma..

The Wilzetta fault is part of a belt of ancient, buried thrust faults that runs through central Oklahoma and north into Kansas (this pdf is the best resource I found). This thrust belt was first active in the Carboniferous period, 350-300 million years ago, in the later stages of the continental collision that formed the Appalachians. Even when the tectonic forces that created them have long dissipated, faults are still weak points in the crust; and even far from an active plate boundary, the motion of tectonic plates across the mantle can generate stress. If that stress is aligned in the right direction, the scars of ancient orogenies such as the Wilzetta fault can still respond to them, generating earthquakes large enough to cause some damage.

Shawnee, OK now shakes more than San Fransisco.

Any one of these faults:

Oh! If someone had a brain they could have claimed a victory for oil, the environment and science.

Namely, add supercritical CO2 to the waste water and see if they can turn it back into limestone!

This has been done in Iceland at some thermal vent but if fracking/oil wells can be converted to store excess atmospheric CO2 underground until it turns back into rock… well… monkey washing the sand off a potato idea can spread.

We use the holes in the ground, stop ground water from catching fire, clean the atmosphere, and stop the man made earthquakes from happening!

But this is just a conspiracy site with dumb ideas so what do I know (sarcasm)

Thanks for sharing! And we can only pray that they come to their senses before setting off the Mississippi fault line by weakening the ground beneath our feet!



CC in Iceland.

"Did the earth just move for you?".... that was a bit of a 'rocker' wasn't it!

It was just Shavkat landing a kick on someone or something......

It would be nice if I could actually feel one of these.

The Alert for the Earthquake on my phone woke me up, not the Earthquake.



This one appears to be The Imperial Fault, which is a transform strike-slip that connects the Laguna Salada (2010 - 7.2) through the Brawley Seismic Zone connecting to The San Andreas.

Just glad my phone felt it.

Is the mid-continent rift dividing America? I like the narrator's shirt.
