Kaituna Aftershock Map

Been kind of quiet quake wise of late, which is a really good thing as I have been pre-occupied with Northern White Tail Deer Hunting - (my other passion) yum, yum. If your not anti hunting, don't mind seeing a hanging deer and would like to view a picture of me and the deer I took this year you may do so Here.

Happy quake watching all!!

reply to post by Anmarie96


Very nice buck Anmarie! You going to hang that rack in your trophy room? I would love to come up and go hunting with ya

No quakes of note to report. (just to stay on topic heheh)

reply to post by berkeleygal


Thanks - and anytime, that would be a blast - no pun intended

Hummm - looking at the maps - Appears that the next bigger quake is next on the Eastern edge of the Pacific Plate - Southern Mexico/Puerto Rico. If I had to just take a guess.

reply to post by Anmarie96


We don't have anything like that here. Best we can manage is one of the little people. We used to have wild haggis when I lived in Scotland, but the left handed ones were a divil to catch. Mm, venison, yum. Best meat in the whole world.

I think we are around due for a 4.5/5.0 or so in the area of the JDF plate. That would be my next one

I have just added a ton of stuff on understanding seismograms in the learning links on the QVS Blog

In particular see the virtual course ware on earthquakes. You can even get yourself a certificate as a virtual seismologist!!

A screen from the virtual courseware. This is a really good fun tool if you have a little time to spare.

Piece of cake. I expect to see all of you with a certificate shortly!!

another 456 earthquakes in New Zealand and 2010 will be a record for the period of 10 years.
Should be an easy task, thats only 17 per day to go and we normally get 20-30 average, with more if there is a swarm or a Mag 5+ with aftershocks.
Heres the score
2001 - 16150
2002 - 11118
2003 - 17643
2004 - 17944
2005 - 19427
2006 - 15341
2007 - 10301
2008 - 14709
2009 - 21593
2010 - 21137



Interesting that 2007 was the lowest, when that same year had the highest number of Mag 7+ quakes globally (30) in the decade.

Thanks for the links on learning seismographs, its learning the terminology that messes me up!

reply to post by PuterMan


Thanks PM, looking forward to getting into it when I get a chance.

reply to post by PuterMan

Thanks for this. Might take me a while to get it though

I hope all those neat heads are ok

This might have slipped by some of us:

Just lining up some dots. I'll let others draw conclusions.

off topic question

I am having trouble opening ATS pages

Is anyone else having the same issues?

It doesn't matter if I am logged in or not.
When the page is trying to open the address at the bottom of my firefox browser gets stuck on "geo.gorillanation.com" i have no idea where or what this is .....anyone?
When you type this into a blank address box in another tab and click go, all it is is a white page with the words "geo" on it.
Is this some kind of tracking virus maybe???

I usually come straight into Fragile Earth, thats the page I have saved on my Bookmarks in Firefox, but that page won't open now, I have to go to the ATS home page and go from there.
I tried to post this on the "Board Business & Questions" Forum and tried also the "Board Information" Forum but both come up 404 error

Are we being HACKED

The earthquake swarm at Arnarvatns highlands
.

The earthquake swarm that started two days ago at Arnarvatns highlands continues in similar manner as was seen in the earthquake swarm that took place under Blöndulón lake few weeks ago.

Maybe it was our ISP, or the problem has been fixed, seems to work OK now but there is definitely a hesitation when clicking between Topics still.

Four earthquakes deep beneath the surface of the earth occurred on Campi Flegrei in Italy. The four earthquakes registering 4.8, 4.8, 5.6 and 5.7 happened during 7:30am and 8am this morning. Campi Flegrei is a 13km wide caldera situated west of Naples in Italy and was declared a regional park in 2003. The caldera contains 24 craters and volcanic edifices. One of the craters on Campi Flegrei is inside Lake Avernus and has a capability of producing a VEI 7 eruption. Now these strong earthquakes on the caldera might indicate that volcanic activity is starting once again. On September 29 AD 1558 the volcano Monte Nuovo on the southeastern shore of Lake Avernus erupted and destroyed a village.

look on map in 2nd link. There are a lot of little "craters" all over that area, and lots of homes.

watched this develop yesterday but wasn't expecting the 6.5

Not one thread regarding the recent filament collapse or the cme from the sun?
I'd reckon within the week we will see a bigger quake/ volcanic activity.

Make sure you read the full link thank.

May seem off topic but this month we will see a series of events all having a hand in eachother.
