You must have iPod speakers attached to your stereo. When I pump the bass at home MY house shakes!

Play this with your tinny little speakers turned up and tell me how much of your crystal is left unbroken at the end of the song:

Is that how we know the core is a LIQUID...that's the correct spelling by the way...we send waves through the earth? Um...well...that's wrong first of all... The following is taken from my text book of my current class as I am a geophysics major...they looked at seismic waves from earthquake sensors...that's how they know...not sending waves through, dear

How was the Earth's core discovered? Recordings of seismic waves from earthquakes gave the first clue. Seismic waves will bend and reflect at the interfaces between different materials, just like the prism below refracts and scatters light waves at its faces.

In addition, the two types of seismic wave behave differently, depending on the material. Compressional P waves will travel and refract through both fluid and solid materials. Shear S waves, however, cannot travel through fluids like air or water. Fluids cannot support the side-to-side particle motion that makes S waves.

That was my point...they know it because of waves. We still use HUMAN generated waves to measure the size of magma chambers under volcanoes and yes the earthquake readings were the first clue but they got more precise measurments by duplicating it. Not rocket science.

And here's a little experiment for all you believers to try. Take some silly putty which is similar in make up to the aethenosphere in terms of movement. Not really but it's often used as an example in geology. Make a little sculpture of a person or whatever out of it and set it on the table. Come back an hour or two later and it has kinda drooped down....moved a bit but very slowly. This is similar to how the aethenosphere moves through convection but I won't get into the details.

Now take that silly putty and while it's on the table place 2 popsicle sticks side by side to represent the plates moving against each other.

Now stand back and try to make them move without physically touching them. Jump up and down, yell all you want..hell even smack the table around...not much is gonna happen..even if the core were to vibrate massively, which is not possible, the vibrations would have to go through the outercore, the mantle, the lithosphere, the aethosphere and up through the crust.

Earthquake waves dissapate while they move and they don't have to go through half the crap that this vibrational theory would.

Just not plausible

getting tighter there....

Based on whats been happening in California in the last three weeks..... NO, nothing will happen today or even in the next two weeks.. but after that who knows.

The biggest threat in california is the Long Valley Caldera. It's a supervolcano just a touch smaller than yellowstone. Last time it went, about 400 years ago, it covered the U.S. in ash as far away as omaha and kansas city. In the early 80's actually the scientists actually issued a volcano warning for the area though it was later called off. If you like to study volcanoes that one seems to have the best chance of going soon...long before yellowstone goes...

So what's the latest with this?

Can someone give me a concise version of what is supposedly going on?

Guys stop responding to kro32, close minded people will stay that way.

I for one will be staying up (thanks to my sleeping habits screwing up), and will be monitoring this thread all night. I'll post whatever I can find but it'd be nice to have a few others willing to stay up with me lol. I'm here in southern CA and we're prepared in the event of an earthquake, and if anyone's been following anything to do with the quakes, they'll notice the string of events that could potentially cause a quake within the next couple of days.

Also, that lady who predicted the Japan quake seems to have freaked out about March 31.

People seem to think that the sun is going to shoot out storms that are going to cause earthquakes and I'm trying to show them how that isn't possible.

Sorry your so worried but think about it like this, this event or any other event won't trigger the california quake or any other earthquake in the world until there is something there to be triggered. No one knows how close any fault in the world is to releasing it's energy.

You could have every triggering event go off at the same time in california but if the plates aren't ready to slip, as in strain existing between two plates, than nothing will happen. Really the op is just trying to scare people.

I for one will be up as well, got netflix on, ats as well as about 10 gee stations, not gonna hurt if i lose some sleep, exspecially if something happens,

I'm not worried at all, I'm actually excited about this stuff. I don't believe OP or many of the other thread starters on this site have any intent on scaring people, but rather inform them of something. People just have a habit of freaking out over stuff like this.

We may not know how close any of the faults are to releasing energy, but we know of several major fault lines that are overdue and expected to go at any time, including the San Andreas.

.

Yeah, I remember someone mentioned that and went into detail and had me convinced.

Ok, with that getting so much tighter, I'm really getting worried. Another huge earthquake inbound?

Don't want to fear monger, but just looking at (not much) historic evidence, I'm feeling uneasy!

Good luck to everyone.

I know, isn't it.
It's fn ridiculous.
be careful.. (it even starts to rub off if you get lazy!) lol

I'd call it more 'sad' or pathetic before I would 'fun' though.

It's like half of what the boards are these days,
people bitching at each other about each others opinions/viewpoints..
and not even civil about it.

Sucks.

Overdue yes but you have to think in geological terms hehe. .it could be a very very long time still until san andreas goes and there are still readings from that fault which is a good sign. When it get's deathly quiet and isn't moving at all that's when you should start to worry.

Currently it's moving at about the rate a fingernail grows

Lets be cautious but also have positive feelings. hope for the best

I signed in tonight to see if anything is going on.

My cat has been acting the same way he did the night we learned of the Japan quake.

He's howling, meowing, chirping, pacing, and acting nervous. He woke me up twice. So now I can't sleep.

Right now, he sits at the back sliding glass door looking out, same as he did with the Japan quake.

I've learned that he's a good indicator of something being off. His behavior was erratic too when the birds started to fall dead.

I just wanted to share that here, in case anyone watched their animal's behaviors. Anyone else noticing changes with their animals?

Sounds like a very sensitive cat if he could feel something coming from Japan. For that matter then he should be going crazy every night because there are always big earthquakes going off but most are in unpopulated areas so nobody makes much of them.

well, my animals aint acting weird here in nz : )

is there a certain distance cats and stuff can sense to?

might have opened up a new discussion here guys!

Yes. My doggie looked very concerned today.

Also, there is this one group of dogs in my neighborhood that howl only when an earthquake is on its way.
It is a different kind of howl, almost like a warning howl I swear. They were doing that today.

Just wanted to chip in.
