Quake Watch 2010

reply to post by coffeesniffer


Well that is what I thought at first but the 07:51 quake was a 3.7. The one prior to that at 4.6 was 06:50 (Ah, 07:50 BST perhaps??. But I thing Europe is ahead of us)

In the Vanuatu region, there will be with a high likelihood an another strong earthquake. Magnitude 7 or 8 I rather think 8...

earthquake.usgs.gov...

In Kira-Kira, there was the 6.7 quake, right in Santo, there was the 6.3 quake, with many aftershocks......

There builds something on...

reply to post by Austria


There is absolutely no doubt about that Austria, Vanuatu is the most active earthquake area in the World for large quakes, has been for thousands of years, possibly hundreds of thousands of years.
It used to be called the New Hebrides, so if you look back in history thats the name to look for.
The question is when is the next one?

3 x 7+ in the last year so yes there will be another!

Edit: "The question is when is the next one? ". There was one in May so you want another already??

Around December I guess.
Another stunningly inaccurate prediction pulled out of thin air based on no reasonable assumptions by PuterMan

[edit on 3/7/2010 by PuterMan]

I like your little tag at the end about the prediction

My statement about Vanuatu being the most active earthquake area for 7+ quakes is based on a casual observation while I'm doing the "7+ World quakes, when and where" project, I haven't seperated V out from the data to see for sure.

I just downloaded a pdf file from Peru, quakes list back to 1471
Thats going to keep me busy integrating it into my World data this cold and wet Sunday

Rash of small but felt quakes around NZ today:

2.7 north of Blackball, West Coast, South Island
2.9 Taupo, North Island
3.3 Taupo, North Island
2.1 Taranaki, North Island

Hope Taupo can keep quiet, we don't want that monster springing to life!

See that 2.1ML at Okato, Taranaki, Felt in Taradale in the Hawkes Bay ?????????

yeah right (as the Tui signs say)

I think someone got their wires crossed, there was a 1.858ML in the Hawke Bay itself 2hrs after the Otako one, maybe that was what they felt.

In fact those Lake Taupo quakes were part of a Swarm of 17 micros and minor events
Lake Taupo Swarm Map

There was a little Swarm north of Matata, BOP too (same map, zoom out)
