Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by Shenon


Whilst i agree with muzzy entirely EMSC is better that RSOE your question interests me.

Should i get worried about more,bigger Quakes happening in Europe now? Or are those related to Mining etc.? Serious Question.

You seem to be saying that there are more, bigger quakes in Europe. First what causes you to think that? Secondly, why would you think they were related to mining, if there was an increase? (By the way mining blasts identified as such are usually left off the data)

Is there any specific area of Europe which is giving you cause for concern?

Edit to say: European Links

Because of all the activity lately worldwide and the few,though low, Quakes now happening near the Area where i live.

Edit: Ah yes,i live in East Germany,near where the Quakes in Poland and Czech happened...thats a little too close for my tastes.

reply to post by Shenon


In the past 365 days there have been 429 earthquakes of mag 1+ in Poland and Czechoslovakia. In CZ there was only one in the mag 3 range, all the others being mag 2 or less.

There were 15 quakes of Mag 4.0 to 4.9 and nothing above that. 10 of those were below mag 4.5

Not really a great deal to be worrying about I think. The distribution seems very evenly spread and showing no signs of a significant increase recently.

Ok,thanks. Im gonna continue watch my Area the next few Days. I hope it isnt getting more frequent here.

All I have been able to find is 7.0Ms plus back to 1570, there are only 80 quakes on the list prior to 1960

no list there mate

just a search box to fill in.

you need to copy and paste the list (perhaps into a Notepad txt doc). save it and load it onto Dropbox or 4Shared and then copy and post the link to it.

yeah I know its a PITA

once you do it a few times you get a routine going, I can do it in about 5 minutes from scratch

IC 4 other Mag 5+ quakes on the list, so at the rate of one per fortnight I'd agree with you that a 5 isn't out of the ordinary for Southern Iran (in answer to jazz10's question)

Just adding this link to my lists on the QVS Blog.

Italian Earthquakes

Interactive map up to 90 days past. CSV and KMZ downloads.

Good page.

Thought I would share it.

I have added several Italian sites to the earthquakes and seismos on QVS

Edit to say: That one above is in Italian.

Here is the English version

Cool and Thanks Puterman!

I Am Not Even Familiar with this area??? Yet - or even heard of it for that matter - idk

Didn't feel that 5.1 it was blowing a gale at the time here, patio furniture tipping over etc.

No I don't think so. There was a main shock and these are after shocks.
