Now, that one is of importance. It went of on a divergent plate boundary between the Pacific plate and the Nazca plate, on the Rangi Seamount Range and close to some submarine volcanoes Southern EPR-Segment K, Southern EPR-Segment J and Southern EPR-Segment I. Like we don't have enough going on outside Chile.

Edited.
I see there was another one M 4.7 around 1200km north of this one on Saturday, March 6, 2010 03:58:47 UTC.

Again in the area mention before in this thread. A subduction zone between the Pacific Plate and the Philippine Plate. This time between Guam and Palau. Just on the edge and not far from Yap Islands.

I just came across this on the web and wondered if it was of any interest? Can't explain it (s waves detection?) - take a look. That one was a link off this

This is a useful list of networks, whether they have live data and their operational dates.

And here is another

Might be of use, and presumably you can get this in GEE.

I was referring to Magnitude 5.9 - SOUTHERN EAST PACIFIC RISE.
Saw it was upgraded to a 6.3. That don't make me relax a bit. Did not even realize that it was lined up with Peru. The coastline I fear the next "BIG" one would hit. Thanks to unrest in Chile.

no no I meant that we both posted the Yap quake, but you didn't see mine coz its on the previous page :-)

and yeah! that SE Pacific Rise one freaked me out when I saw it had changed.

happy sunday I haven't been to bed yet...seems like I need to stay awake cuz somethings gonna happen soon.. Been feeling this feelin for about a month now..I am getting my survival gear together.

Peace berkeleygal. I don't think anything serious is happening in the world other than that which normally happens.

I would be far more concerned with how you will fare when other things come to pass in this world due to the lies and deception all around us.

Mother Nature may not predictable but we know what she is capable of and she does not lie. The same cannot be said about governments.

One of the reasons that I am not so concerned about the current level of quakes is because there is no indication yet that 2010 will be worse than 2009 and I am not convinced that quakes in one area lead to quakes in another, but I will elaborate on that later when I have finished my study.

Get your sleep. You need it for other reasons than Gaia. She is not about to shake us off her back just yet.

What concerns me is that quite a lot of these earthquakes are happening in/around the pacific ring of fire.

Which is of course where, on the whole, earthquakes occur - in subduction zones or plate building areas basically around the edges of tectonic plates, and for the same reasons volcanoes occur here also.

I would be way way more surprised by a major earthquake that was not connected to one of these areas.

Turkey? Are there fault lines there? My Earthquake map doesn't show any...

reply to post by impaired


Yes there are. Quakes in Turkey tend to start in the East and move westwards as I recall.

If you look in Google Earth at this quake you will see it is right on a plate boundary.

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/abca46477278.png[/atsimg]

The red lines are continental transform faults, the yellow are condinental rift boundaries and the white are continental convergent boundaries. Blue are subduction zones.

This was in a lightly populated area, mainly agricultural as far as I can see with the nearest population being at Mirahmet just 0.61 miles from the epicentre. However with the detail above "Location Uncertainty horizontal +/- 6.3 km (3.9 miles)" that may not be the case.

BTW the red triangles are volcanoes

Update on Chile cumulatives to midnight 07/03/2010 or 03/07/2010 in Mercan

Turkey has lots of quakes. Many aren't registered on USGS - better to watch in RSOE as that program shows many more quakes that are centered in Eastern Europe/Mediterranean.
