Wave Motion:
The first, and most profound, difference between wave motion and the motion of objects is that waves do not display any repulsion of each other analogous to the normal forces between objects that come in contact. Two wave patterns can therefore overlap in the same region of space, as shown in the figure at the top of the page. Where the two waves coincide, they add together. For instance, suppose that at a certain location in at a certain moment in time, each wave would have had a crest 3 cm above the normal water level. The waves combine at this point to make a 6-cm crest. We use negative numbers to represent depressions in the water. If both waves would have had a troughs measuring -3 cm, then they combine to make an extradeep -6 cm trough. A +3 cm crest and a -3 cm trough result in a height of zero, i.e. the waves momentarily cancel each other out at that point. This additive rule is referred to as the principle of superposition, "superposition" being merely a fancy word for "adding."

Sorry I meant a geologic* structure. It is a fold in a layer of rock due to stress and strain in the earth and it acts as a lense if an earthquake occurs below it and may act as a parabolic mirror if it occurs above it, but it would like occur below the fold. The waves pass through the folded rock layer and refract due to change in density and converge at somepoint. If it converges at a point on the surface it is devastating.

I said two quakes are set off at the same time

I want to put this fact to you. You claim people were whisked out of Christchurch 1 hour after the quake? Thats not possible for one reason the entire New Zealand airspace was closed down immediately after the earthquake planes were returned to australia or left in a holding pattern while they brought back the radar systems because much of the infrastructure for air traffic control in new zealand is handled in christchurch Airways Corp is based there for the most part and the quake effected their systems i know this for a fact because i experienced it.

I couldn't help but read this discussion, As a New Zealander myself i think its a bit disgusting to claim that "superweapon" was used by the elites on Christchurch. They have suffered enough since the September quake.
Aprilsky you havent really provided any evidence to your theory other than hearsay and hearsay isn't enough to be claimed as hard proof. Like what was tabled earlier in the discussion a patent or some form of design of the weapon itself would help in providing proof to back your claims.

While his earthquake shaker was fascinating, and it has been showed to work on a large scale with little effect, whether or not it could cause anything more than a small shake is a matter of speculation.edit on 9-3-2011 by boncho because: fix
