Richter Scale

I forgot to report a 5.8 quake in Portugal in 2007/02/12.

It was the second largest earthquake that I felt in 40 years.

It looks like the earth is rumbling, a good thing or bad thing?

can we find a connection with sun activities?

which may mean a lot!

as I think someone did mention a possibility about atoms particules going through!

the only places to go through would be either the split of the techtonic plate or the poles!
may be a combinasion!

the 2 and 2 together!

I'm not sure, I thought that yesterday when I posted them actually, that the Ring of Fire was a bit active. No idea if it's good or bad, time will tell I think.

I have no idea about how the sun's activity could affect tectonic activity FYI, other than possibly gravitational tidal effects, like Jupiter's moon Io. And neutrino's travel straight through pretty much everything as well.

It's better to keep on rumbling than to stop rumbling and release all that accumulated energy in just 4 or 5 huge earthquakes.

Thats true, it is better than having huge quakes. Interestingly at the moment it seems rather periodic, only one or two each day for a couple of days, then 5 or 6 in the same day.

Another in this location, I wonder what is going on there?



In this google earth view, red is shallowest, then yellow, then green. Available from the EMSC as a kmz file.
