Small earthquakes in unexpected parts of the US

After reading about a small earthquake here in Colorado, I noticed links for "related stories". I searched on here and didn't find something similar to this post, but sorry if I'm re-posting news. Also feel free to move this thread if needed.
Anyway! What could be the cause of these quakes? Especially the multiple ones in Arkansas?? Links below!

Greetings:

Welcome to ATS.

I was raised on a 160-acre farm in Western Colorado - 5 miles South of Montrose - walked to our 3-room school for 8 grades with outdoor bathrooms out by the multipurpose field.

Will read a bit more of your links and get back to you.

Again, welcome to what, for me, has been a game-changing experience from the very first day here on ATS.

If you are interested, I will give you a few links to some of the "good stuff" (IMHO) that is hidden in plain sight here on ATS.

These challenges to life and sanity on this planet must be met with clear minds and sound hearts, so may your 2011 see you embracing its highest potential and onward through the fog!

In Peace & Light

The New Madrid Fault Line (which encompasses portions of Arkansas, Tennessee, and others). It was the site of a "big one" back in 1811/12. It's been acting up since February. There's a FEMA exercise planned for April, I believe, focused on a possible disaster/earthquake in this area.

what could be the cause of these earthquakes you ask? well from the content featured on your links I see two theories being put forth, the new madrid fault line and something of a more conspiratorial nature, the relation of quakes being trigged by the effects of ongoing natural gas exploration in the area around arkansas.

Welcome to ATS!
Can't wait for your first post.

hmm, I always like to check out the authors of threads and i find that this is not ampar84's first thread, but his sixth so i don't know why he posted in introductions.??

i see that it has now been bumped into the fragile earth forum.


i read ampar84's first introduction and realized ampar84 is a woman, so my bad for calling her a him. its is a common assumption on my part.

by the way welcome to ats, i hope you do find meaningful information here amongst all the competitive ego boy testosterone that is rampant in these parts

I would be interested in those links. Thanks in advance!!!

you put a earthquake in arkansas in your thread? how does that fit? earthquakes in arkansas arent unexpected and the one in indiana, well indiana isnt too far from the new madrid fault area so i dont know about that one. colorado probably the only one that surprised me a little

Earthquakes will shake the ground in places where there have been no recorded history of earthquakes in this time frame.Tsunami's will strike and flood places that you thought can never happen. Volcanoes will erupt where there never was any volcano. The weather like nothing you have ever experience before and more destructive than anything you have seen in the movies.

OK, good catch.

This is what the beauty of ATS is. Someone new looks at the information available and presents a unique way of analyzing the data. Even small quakes - "where they shouldn't be" - will perhaps present a pattern to be considered. Plus, we now have an interested earthquake watch/analysis member in Colorado.

Puterman has an excellent thread on this subject:

Quake Watch 2011, page 1

And to save you time, here are a few of Puterman's choice sites:

IRIS Seismic Monitor

European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre

US Geological Survey

Is that a prophecy or based on some links or news or scientic studies conducted by agencies ?

Can you post some links supporting your statements please ?

Thank you! That information would be appreciated.
Montrose is such a nice little town/city. I'm sure it has grown. I live in Denver. Much different!!

I can't post anywhere else until I have 20 posts. Those are ats rules.

objection over ruled.
my reference to "the relation of quakes being trigged by the effects of ongoing natural gas exploration" in arkansas in right here in the first link that was posted by said member. the OP never really offer any of her own opinions and seemed to be asking an opened ended question about the causes of the earthquakes featured in the links provided. read the info at the bottom of the article here:

Ausbrooks said geologists are still trying to discover the exact cause of the recent seismic activity but have identified two possibilities.

"It could just be a naturally occurring swarm like the Enola swarm, or it could be related to ongoing natural gas exploration in the area," he said.

A major source of natural gas in Arkansas is the Fayetteville Shale, an organically-rich rock formation in north-central Arkansas. Drillers free up the gas by using hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" - injecting pressurized water to create fractures deep in the ground.

Ausbrooks said geologists don't believe the production wells are the problem, but rather the injection wells that are used to dispose of "frack" water when it can no longer be re-used. The wastewater is pressurized and injected into the ground.

Greetings:

Good point.

However, I stand by my statement: "...was never uttered by this member."

The reference you allude to is in the link.

"... seemed to be asking..." is your interpretation of what the op meant.

I rest my case.

But, that is the game many people play here on ATS, carping and sniping at other members, instead of keeping to the point and spending valuable time sharing information or actually lurking and maybe just learning something.

Game over.

So how better to spend that time?

Maybe there is a way we can help mitigate the unpleasant results of an event in the New Madrid region?

Care to vote for Springer & Overlord?

Or, for something completely different, perhaps you would be so good as to respond to this project we have just initiated.

From what we know at this time, it appears that many of the earthquake lights appear about 30 minutes before a major earthquake. With enough data, it might be possible to postulate the birth of some sort of "early warning system," based on real-time data from enough respondents over a broad area - or pinpointed in places like Yellowstone, New Madrid, SoCal, Alaska, etc.

As a first responder and having lived in SoCal for 40 years, I can tell you that a 30-minute lead time on a quake could save thousands of lives.

How about assisting in this project which will correlate earthquake lights, strange sounds and rumblings - before, during, after - and earthquakes. The information collected could possibly lead to some sort of earthquake prediction system here within ATS if the data can be analyzed for some sort of predictive pattern. The idea is to collect the correct data from the start - and as soon as possible IMHO.

I, personally, would welcome any advice/help/suggestions/interested parties to make this idea better and a reality sooner.

It might be interesting to see if any of these sounds have "Earthquake Lights" associated with them before/during/after the sounds and an earthquake? Or were there sounds/lights and the EQ hasn't happened as yet - we really do not have enough data to make an informed decision as to the amount of time between events...?

Here's another thought...what about pre-quake smells?

Please help to spread the word to as many people as possible to quickly build the database as this information and map may prove to be quite timely - especially to people in the Yellowstone/New Madrid/West Coast/Alaska areas.
