Quake Watch 2010

It has been a while now since I last posted cumulatives for Baja.



And here is the magnitude



Interesting I think. The daily quantity does not seem to have gone back to the level of before the 'big one'. It would also seem that the percieved magnitudes have not gone back to previous levels either. I have not done a trend analysis on the magnitudes but it does visually appear that there might be a slight upwards trend.

(I did these graphs with a little time showing before the event so as to be able to see, thus the cumulative total includes these.)

It would be interesting to get a take on this by USGS or someone who could explain why this might be.

Your links ain't working mate, you need to click on the "Link" word on the top right hand side of your map and copy and paste that

When you get a link with lots of characters you should enter it thus

Google maps: Andman Island quake

You do that using the url and /url code inside square brackets [ and ]

Sorry for the lesson which is a bit off topic. The final result you see above is done like this (pseudo-code otherwise you cannot see it)

[euarell=hteeteepea etc etc the address of the site]The text to display[/euarell]

It is not just a simple matter of pasting the link.

By the way I personally believe ALL links in the threads should be done this way.

I use the Blue/Green Ball icon up there in the string of formatting options at the top of the Reply Page.

I think mweiss copied and pasted the address of the page of his/her map off the address bar which doesn't seem to work with Google Maps, you have to use the GM Link. All I got was a map with nothing on it.

At first glance the graph of 3.0+ mag quakes in New Zealand to date it looks like numbers per day taper off near the end of the month, but April was the exception.

Don't know what you can do with graphs really, unless you have something to compare with.
Perhaps the past year/years?.
Possibly compare with World events over the same time period?, although that might get skewed by large 7+ events and their aftershock sequences.
Maybe put in there the phases of the moon and see if there is any relationship?.
Could compare with Solar Flares? ( if I could find the data)

Nice to see you back. You appear to have been off line for a while.

I was wondering if there was going to be any tsunami effect from this, but it probably is not big enough.

I did note however from Google Earth that it was in 666 mtr of water!

I'm still struggling with this pneumonia - has come back after first batch of anti-biotics

Noticed a few recent quakes under the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland (biggest I believe) - under which there are a few volcanoes.

reply to post by MoorfNZ


Pneumonia, not nice. Been there.

Yes I have to say I am just the smallest bit concerned about the number we are seeing there. The good thing is that apart from a 3+ yesterday they are not so big yet. Everyone is panicking about Katla, but Bardabunga? Grimsvotn? Askja? No one seems to care about them.

I won't bother posting the list of minor 3+ quakes anymore, doesn't seem to be any interest here.
You can still see them on my maps.

Heres a few light quakes over the last few days that may be of interest.
