Quake Watch 2010

reply to post by Anmarie96


Wow, interesting read on Saratoga Springs. Thanks for that link. I have never visited anywhere in New York aside from NYC back in 2003.

The nearest carbonated waters to those in Saratoga are found in Colorado.. interesting bit of knowledge, despite it being off topic here.

Again, thanks.

NZ update.
Mostly deep quakes.

Isn't there a volcano near there?

reply to post by Phlynx


Earthquakes don't usually mean much for volcanoes unless they are really close (within a few miles) or directly under.

reply to post by Phlynx


yes there is... dam.. mexico/california, indonesia and now vanuatu all having big ones at roughly the same time? things are really shaking.. but yeah and the volcano just went off in april

i left out there was also 1 between new zealand and antarctica

[edit on 18-5-2010 by Git_r_dun]

Hmmm.. things do seem to be "thawing" after a very nice period of seismic silence. I hope the 5.1 in SoCal is not a foreshock, but it certainly could be.

Am I the only one that noticed that quakes have been quiet ever since the sun went blank? Just today a magnetic filament appeared on the sun. I know there is no proven link, but I think it is worth mentioning. Probably nothing but... time will tell I suppose.

That would be because the Peruvians are using Richter Scale, USGS are using mb, and give no other scales. I had a look at EMSC, they have 6.0Mw (another type of reading), Geofon have 5.9mb.

Thanks for the link, the old Peru one I had had moved address and was dead.


Just for good measure the Russians had it at 6.0mb too

I am noticing that there are more and more frequent earthquakes latey, in rare places aswell. and ever earth quacks were they shouldn't be.


This a bit rare that are more Frequent earthquakes dont you agree?
