All over the world, huge cracks are appearing for no discernible reason. For example, a massive crack that is approximately 3 kilometers long recent appeared in southern Peru. Also, a 500 foot long crack suddenly appeared recently in the state of Michigan. When you also throw in all of the gigantic sinkholes that have been opening all over the world, it is easy to conclude that the planet is becoming very unstable.

I've been trying to figure out lately if our earth's wobble and rotation have a play in this.
I saw a documentary the other day, that stated that the moon moves away from the earth by just under 1.5 inches per year. Very minor, but it'll add up oneday.

Just like keeping a plate spinning on a stick, the key is to have the plate spinning fast, as if it slows down it crashes to the floor. In a similar way, as the Earth's rotation slows down, our whole planet may start to slowly wobble and this will have a devastating effect on our seasons.
Now if our day shortens with the quakes, that means we're rotating faster ? while the moon moving away dictates that we should be rotating slower ? I know, it's only micro seconds, but if combined with other factors ??
The earthquakes, Japan and Chili were said to have shortened the day, although only by micro seconds. Also said to have shifted the earth slightly, Chili by 3 inches, Japan by about 7 inches.

www.nasa.gov...
In comparison, following last year's magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Chile, Gross estimated the Chile quake should have shortened the length of day by about 1.26 microseconds and shifted Earth's figure axis by about 8 centimeters (3 inches). A similar calculation performed after the 2004 magnitude 9.1 Sumatran earthquake revealed it should have shortened the length of day by 6.8 microseconds and shifted Earth's figure axis by about 7 centimeters, or 2.76 inches.
How an individual earthquake affects Earth's rotation depends on its size (magnitude), location and the details of how the fault slipped. Gross said that, in theory, anything that redistributes Earth's mass will change Earth's rotation.
Our moon is responsible (I think) for keeping our wobble stable, but if bigger quakes are affecting our wobble, and our rotation, even if just slightly, our weather is likely to be unpredictable.
Maybe it's not enough change to matter, I don't know.
Could our galaxy even be going through a section of space that might be affecting us in some way?

I have not read all of the thread yet, but Snowspirit has touched on something I posted about a little while ago:
Link...
Basically, our solar system is currently moving through an energy cloud in space; the main tilt of my thread was that it is making our sun 'more active' and that some scientists suggest it may be the catalyst that will cause a major solar event. However, the link I am seeing here is that the increase in the suns activity would account for the increased 'fireballs' hitting our atmosphere. Whilst there is no absoulte connection between the fireballs and the increase of natural weather penomenon / earthquakes etc it make me wonder that if this 'energy cloud' can affect the sun, could it not also affect our atmosphere / planet?
Just a thought.

A slight increase, but still 400 years is a dramatically tiny window for long-living space creatures like the Sun. Here an 11.000 years sunspot reconstruction:
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/02d175bdba4b.png[/atsimg]
at its maximum height the Earth suffered from epic floods en.wikipedia.org... but since then we seem to be leveled. Still 11.000 a small window.
The increase seems irrefutable on the charts you posted,
our problems come in agreeing causes and meanings to it.
Interesting post!
