Serbia to the Red Sea - 2000 miles across plate boundaries

Probably not I think. Serbis however could be affecting the Greek ones or vice versa.

Now you have started, you will have to go on.

I shall expect an earthquake fact every day

Good day my friends,

Went to bed at 4 am, got up at 4 pm. there were 111 quake notifications on my quake notifier. Haven't read any posts yet, but saw that there is one about geologists warning of a mega eruption of Merapi. Yikes.

It's the 5th of November, will we get through it unscathed? Oh hehe, just looked out the window and the big Met Life blimp is flying over my house. Don't see that too often.

Off to do some reading.

They just had one of those big updates: 23 quakes

I like this map and chart

I think a sudden pole shift is coming

but don't quote me

Wish I could give you 10 stars for that one. It's amazing to look at in that context...hmmmmmm

reply to post by PuterMan



And I thought you didn't like to post small quakes, lol. The 8.? in Hawaii this morning - hot coffee in lap doesn't feel so good.

reply to post by crazydaisy

Drat, hoist by my own petard. Well we did say that we could post quakes under 5.0 if they were significant and this was significant because it was 0 and you actually don't see those very often, and they can be very devastating (even if it is only disappointment!). I wonder what the equivalent in TNT is for that.

Being serious for a moment if you look at the scientific data you will see that one station reported it as -2.4

8.7 please, let us credit the other of the day's non-existent earthquake with its proper value. I mean you are not going to dump your coffee in your lap for an 8 surely?

reply to post by berkeleygal


Great chart that. Strange angle. Ireland is upside down.

BTW, I thought most of the Poles had already shifted since the construction industry went dead.

reply to post by PuterMan


Yeah its along ways off, but they are both on the edge of the Nubia (African) Plate.
Depends on whose Plate Tectonics map you look at. USGS on Google Earth show the Nubia going north at 9mm a year towards Serbia, with the Helas (Greek) Plate getting in the way.
But check this out nhb-arcims.si.edu...
Their Nubia Plate goes West.
These fellas don't show a Helas Plate at all, and the Nubia Plate runs right up the Adriatic Sea as a Convergent Plate Boundry right near ............ drum roll please ............ Montenegro and SERBIA

I redrew the plate boundry line on a static map as its hard to see on that ThisDynamicPlanet interactive one


If the Earth is expanding, as per Neal Adams theory, that would explain the Serbian quake and also the L'Aquila earthquake in Italy last year

reply to post by PuterMan

NORSAR regularily have negative magnitude quakes on their daily lists, there are a few on this one for day 309 (5th Nov UTC) www.norsardata.no...

No idea what it means though

reply to post by muzzy


Not relevant actually imho, drum roll silenced. The Red Sea has a divergent plate boundary running right up the middle of it. Drum roll?

I don't have the velocities to hand but basically God is still parting the Red Sea - the bed of it and not the waters. Africa is moving West and Saudi is moving North creating the stress in the Red Sea. Whilst Europe is moving South, the plate boundaries are far enough away from the Red Sea quake for it to be the divergence and not Serbia that caused that quake.

Edit: Just noticed your last comment under the picture.

If the Earth is expanding, as per Neal Adams theory, that would explain the Serbian quake and also the L'Aquila earthquake in Italy last year

Yes, since according to the theory this is a stretching zone as Africa moves West or is it South West (?) and pulls Italy with it stretching the attachment of Italy to Europe in the flat area in the North.

On this page that theory is demonstrated. You want clip #8. (I can't get it to work now for some reason but I have it download from year ago. If anyone else has the problem let me know and I will upload it.)

I will give you many many more brownie points for that observation than a connection between Serbia and the Red Sea.

On the move...

Was busy there on Friday 5th UTC too, I counted 29 Darfield aftershocks, thats 29 of the 50 quakes throughout New Zealand for the day.

FWIW according to the NZ Database that was the 2468th aftershock of the 7.1

Wanganui Basin, NZ is still going off since the 4.151ML on Monday

REF:3402865
LOCATION: -40.27769, 174.57646
UTC: 2010/11/5 20:39:9
NZDT: 2010/11/6 9:39:9
DEPTH: 87km
MAG: 4.289ML
88 Felt reports, as far north as Hawera and as south as Wellington.
I didn't feel it as it was Gale Force Southerlies going on at that time and the house was shaking anyway

This one is 39km west of the Monday quake, so not sure if this is a new quake or part of a Swarm, because it was bigger than the first one. Will have to wait and see if the aftershocks since 20:39:9 UTC are bunched around this one or join up with the 12 other aftershocks within 33km radius of the first one.

reply to post by PuterMan

I didn't mean one quake set off the other, but the the same cause may be related (movement of the Nubia Plate) "Looking at the Bigger Picture"

I always scratch my head when the scientists say that two quakes that are on the same plate boundary are not related, when I see the Kermadec -Tonga Trench going off at the same time as New Zealand is going off, happens all the time. (eg just in the last 3 days a Mag 6.0Mw NE of Tonga and *153 quakes in New Zealand of varying magnitudes), the Pacific Plate is bumping the Australian Plate, so it IS related.

*531 quakes: as I said on another post, thats 2 X more than normal, or Geonet have just cracked the code on how to define the epicentres at lightening speed in the last 3 days (compared to the past)

edit on 6-11-2010 by muzzy because: (no reason given)

Yes, the aftershocks seem to have been ping-ponging between Rolly and here (Sheffield/Oxford) for the last day or so.. quite an uptick in mag for the area, too.,
