Quake Watch 2012

phage:
if the magnetic forces are so low....wat force is holding the planets in orbit round the sun...?
the moon is moving away from earth.... so earth's mag.field cant keep the moon in orbit...
that would implicate that the solar planets are also moving away from the sun...

good news will be :
if the sun becomes once an red giant ... earth will be still exist couse it moved away from the sun....

The orbit has nothing to do with magnetism!
It is all about gravity
Please have a look at wikipedia en.wikipedia.org...

Who knows?
However there is no evidence a swarm in that area happened before the March 2011 whopper.
In fact all that shows in the data is 9 days prior to to the Tohoku quake there was a small 17 event swarm down in the Izu-Bonin Trench east of the Ogasawara Islands (Bonin Is).
I'm sure I read somewhere that there "were indications of unrest" before the Tohoku quake, but I can't see any evidence of that from NIED data, apart from that Bonin group mentioned above.
Quite often it's the lack of activity that gives a warning sign rather than a bunch of 4's and 5's together.

The tell tale sign that something bigger may have been be coming could have been the high number of mag 6's aftershocks the 7.3 of 09/03/2011 (seven of them) which is a lot for a 7.3.

I did a few pages of March 1-15 2011 (around the date of the Tohoku quake) to find out for myself what may have happened, you may wish to have a look at that eqarchivesj.wordpress.com...

Thanks for the heads up anyway I have been neglecting Japan for a few months now, time to get back on track (I'll go backwards from the 16th Dec) , already with 2 days back from there it seems that spot you mentioned has been going off for at least a few days with lesser sized quakes anyway.

just as a matter of interest I just noticed that NIED/JMA call quakes on/under the Pacific Plate "FAR E OFF NORTH HONSHU" whereas those on/under the edge of the North American Plate are described as
"FAR E OFF FUKUSHIMA PREF" or " FAR E OFF MIYAGI PREF"
never noticed that before

Hey Muzzy, I keep forgetting to compliment you on your webpage header graphics, such as on the Japan archives page . I really like them: cleaver and clean.

No, I guess I wasn't clear. I wasn't saying that what's happening in the gulf [The big blowout] and Louisiana is related to fuk. Only that in each area of a previous disaster by strange coincidence they have some funny things happening close by... like this eq swarm at the bottom of the trench straight east of fuk.

Oh right. I misunderstood what you were saying. Sorry.

Must be my age or something!

Well thank you
Every now and again I get sick of looking at it and come up with something new.
Just lately when I started the Turkish pages I added a couple of quake damage photos, so did the same for NZ too.
I guess you noticed the title bar subducts to the west for Japan (japan trench), east for NZ (fiordland/puysegur trench) and strike slips for Turkey (North Anatolian fault)
Chile still has the old (first attempt) thrust/normal fault title bar, which is wrong in this context, so I will have a play with that during the holidays

I just found this thread. You have some great links in your signature, I am going to bookmark them for future reference. I am going to take a little time to scan through the thread and when I have a handle on it I will join in. I am particularly interested in quake activity in and around Japan, especially the Fukushima Daichi area, due to the extreme danger the power plants still pose to the environment.

If there is something in this thread about the Fukushima problem that may not be easily found on other threads I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Thanx.

I was on fox news, science section and next to grummpy cat it has " Powerfull, unusuall quake off california coast. when i click thier link it says it has been removed. has anyone heard or know anything about this? Is it an old video they took down? its under Latest Video.


USGS said they had a 6.2 on Dec 14th but is there anything recent?

Japan Tsunami Marine Debris: Confirmed Sightings

Since the tsunami, NOAA has received over 1,000 reports of debris from the general public and partners at sea and on shore. While many of these debris objects may fit the profile of tsunami debris, only a few can be traced back to the disaster with 100 percent certainty based on a clear "fingerprint," such as a government registration or personal information. The items mapped below are the debris NOAA has "confirmed," through partners or Japan consulates, to be tsunami debris.

Just saw ticker on Fox News about the discovery of a fault under the northern nuclear plant and two other faults under the other plant in the South in Japan. It also said that they had shut down 48 out of 50 nuclear reactors for inspection. My feeling is this is a strange report with massive implications.

what time exactly is the world supposed to end again?

6 hrs and 22 minutes into the 21st Dec 2012 here and all is well.

had a quake half an hour ago 3.7 Wanganui Basin, house creaked and wobbled or I had a bit of a dizzy spell, thought this is it then!, had the same feel as a 6ish sized quake starting,
S'pose better go to work then!, last day for a couple of weeks, looks like a damp Christmas forecast here (spill over of Cyclone Evan)

He says the earthquake occurred on an oceanic area, seismic activity there is unusual.

Could indicate the start of a new spreading deformation.

I used to do daily earthquake updates on another forum. After a while I got bored so I injected a little humor into some of the updates. I think you will find this one particularly relevant to your comment.

Breaking News…

A major portion of central and southern California has disappeared beneath the sea. It seems to have been caused by the local and state governments that have been leaning too far to the left for so long that the already geologically unsound parts of California just capsized and sank beneath the waves.

Scientists claim that this process was hastened by the huge part of Mexico that has migrated north and added a tremendous burden to the affected areas.

Pres. Calderon has declared it the worst Mexican disaster in history.

Fortunately much of the rest of California was held in place by red tape.

Isn't that the clock for the UK time? Here is the one for most the world, I think.

I seriously hope you are WRONG about that timer...
