I had a strange thought tonight while cooking dinner. I put my soup on the stove and turned it on to heat, (I caught Mike's cold) and when I came back it was making strange noises. It sounded like a low rumble
The longer I listened the more active it became, and as I watched the pan actually started to vibrate. Now at this point I am sure the bottom of my tomato soup is gonna burn but no worries. The longer to it the more it sounded like those weird sounds and vibrations coming from the Earth.
WC, if you have a can of soup to waste give it a try and see if the noises match. Just stand there and watch and listen.
When boiling water bubbles does it form a cavity? I thought about it while watching those little bubbles that formed in my soup to release the steam.

I generally don't have many bright ideas so my husband is thinking I am just plain crazy at this point. When I called him to "listen" to my soup the look on his face was absolutely priceless.

I like this site just for the overall view. You can click satellite and zoom in on any given EQ.
Hey, that lake in KY looks like an alien face!
[bold]But the bottom line is, the plates are in motion and heating up. Big ones.....probably everywhere soon as far as I can tell. In fact they already are happening. And all that released pressure is going somewhere else.[/bold] The tohoku EQs in Japan sent a massive chunk of energy our way via the lithosphere. Both the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) and the New Madrid Fault (NMF) have been absorbing energy for 200 to 300 years without really moving. And move they must. Its the law of earth physics.

I don't know if it's just because I'm in a weird mood, but you had me cracking up with this. I could imagine you standing in the kitchen watching your soup burn to death in fascination and how that would look to an outsider. Whew...I mean ARGH Matey, that made me giggle hard.
But at the same time..great thinking. Are things heating up in the ground below us causing more bubbles (than even fracking alone could be responsible for)? Is additional pressure coming from above or outside of Earth? Both? Because, just think what kind of mess that would cause.
