All of the recent earthquakes being talked about in the
Quake Watch 2005 thread...
and now we have
Massive Crack Opens Up In Claude Texas?
Could all of the recent large-scale activity be related to climate change?
Not only is fresh water from melting glaciers and mountain runoff threatening to shutdown the gulf stream, it's also shifting weight from land to
sea.
The ocean plates are getting heavier and sinking and some land plates are getting lighter and "bouncing" (or rebounding) up.
The planet's weight distribution is being redistributed upon its thin crust so the current equilibrium is being upset. In nature, equilibriums tend
to break down very fast and stay broken with something else (a new equilibrium) taking its place.
The Pacific sinking is being felt around the ring of fire and
The Canadian Shield getting
lighter is causing the localised effect we're seeing in California.
Is the movement out to sea with the few minor tremors in the east and a crack opening up in the middle a sign of stress?
Is something big going on, or about to happen geologically?
