Whats going on at yellowstone?

I have only been looking at the USGS earthquake map and it is starting to look like the plate along the west-american coast is really playing up. Everytime they start along the south-american coast and move their way up along the north-american coast.
yesterday evening their were a couple of quakes in south america and they moved up along the coast to end up in Baja.
Now there has been 6.2 in Puerto rico and sure enough a couple of minutes later a 2.5 near Las vegas. Those plates are making a scissor like movement with the most intense pressure in the south.
Watch it, everytime one happens in south america along the east coast you will see somewere along the north american coast line something popping up.....

USGS latest earthquakes

Nothing much but i just wanted to add something to show that i'm still following this thread...respect to all who are commited.

that 6.2 was in Costa Rica

My bad....now you see why i'm only reading and not giving any input???



should have done a copy-paste from the site but nooooo...i had to type it out....see what happens. Costa rica is what i ment.

There's an interesting (seismic?) wave on YTP and YLA at about 12:30 MST. It looks like it occurred at the same time on both stations (speaking of peaks), so it's probably an event placed at the same distance between the two. On YLT it seems to have arrived about 10 seconds later at a much lower intensity. On LKWY I'm not sure. Comments?

Earthquakes on GEE will look like very short, fast, high intensity peaks that will stand out from everything else. Nothing relevant was catched on the LKWY webicorder.

Well that says 2009-2010. Well at least we should get a good six months left. I think I'll just eat steak, lobster, and chocolate items for six months.
That will pack on the extra pounds to get through for awhile.

Magnitude 6.1 - COSTA RICA 2009 January 08 19:21:39 UTC

then 18 min. later

Magnitude 2.5 - CENTRAL CALIFORNIA 2009 January 08 19:39:40 UTC

and now you see a spike at

YTP and YLA at about 12:30 MST witch is 19:30 UTS

Was that exactly 12:30?? or is the dif. between MST and UTC not exactly 7 hours??

reply to post by operation mindcrime


Yes, the difference between MST and UTC is exactly 7 hours.
It should be that 6.1 Costa Rica earthquake then. 9 minutes to reach to Yellowstone sounds reasonable.

Some math...
About 4500 Km... P-wave arrives after 9 minutes... its speed is 8.333 Km/second... I guess it's that Costa Rica EQ.

I guess that's what you call sarcasm....what did i do wrong???

But i'm not saying what you saw was the effect of the quake in Costa Rica but the movement of the pacific plate. The one quake is not triggering the next quake but the plate is moving from south to north in a scisor-like movement. When it start to move and it shows up in south america a couple of minutes later something happens more north. Witch could also put more pressure on the entire YS region.

Sorry to have p*ssed you off and i will shut up again and leave the real science to you...

between :45-:55 on GEE for us-lkwy yellowstone, earthquake?? showin up on other nearby locations as well

I see one at 1:04:30 & another at 8:02 (using blink method ...) lkwy vs. ytp

YUP; i agree plus a new one at 13:00 ( U guys are getting it, GREEEEAT .... )

reply to post by operation mindcrime


I don't know why you're reacting so badly. After I wrote my post about those strange seismic waves I noted on some stations and returned to the thread, I quickly read, without paying too much attention, of people talking about that Costa Rica earthquake, so I opened Google Earth with the USGS layer, did some math and then created and updated quickly another post according to the results.

I'm sorry if I offended you, but I didn't mean to do it in any way. I didn't even fully read your initial message.

Great news!
All we see now is we now have a new way of discerning whether it's windy at a particular location.
Lots of money being spent on a wind monitor...lol
With all that intererence, no need to study them any longer, as no clear way to discern background from the real deal...
Oh well...if she blows she blows...
Blessings

completely disagree; try my blink comparator method in Firefox, probably can do a similar thing in modern IE (although I don't know how), or load the 2 images into an image viewer & flip between them ....

Wind!!! I don't buy it.

Look at YML, that I do not believe is wind.

It's cool...

I missed the download link to the really cool GEE software a couple of 100 posts back and i'm way behind anyway to catch up with you guys so i'm just gonna continue reading.

But this whole thing has really sparked my intrest for geology so now i'm trying to figure out tectonic movement.....whoooo that's a giving me a headache trying to relate one event with the next and trying to predict were the next one will be.

Much respect for the amount of info you are putting out here since (i believe) the very beginning and please don't pay attention to my babbling cause since 27 dec. i haven't been getting much sleep. So if i'm rambling it's the insomnia talking....

Keep it up ...oh and concrats on making national television with your youtube animation!!!

You rule!!!

Also, YMP - YMR - YLT - YMV -

These are starting to look like a couple of weeks ago with the lines so freq. that they all cross over. Like a 3 yr old again.

Thanks a bunch Puterman!!!

So i guess now you're trying to get rid of me by killing me??

Death by sleep deprivation.....

No seriously, thanks. Downloading it as we speak!!.....guess i can sleep during work hours. Nobody will notice.....

ps: were are Sageturkey and Rfburns....been missing them for a while...pitty
