Quake Watch 2012

Japan is about to get something big check out the activity

www.ustream.tv...

very disturbing activity

Was watching this for about 10 minutes and notice a pressure buildup occurring usually shown as pattern vibrations that shows up like a Christmas tree. Example: vibration then silence then more stronger vibration than silence.
It this this 4 times followed by a long continuous vibration. And the give away is the pattern of quiet between each event.

Yeah it seems to keep getting real intense. It was a sound jab drawn out beep sort of sound earlier. I didn't know about this stream before, it sounds so cool.

Really getting intense right now. Activity is now spiking

Nice to see that Plate Tectonic was mention here. As I posted some time back, this is the things we was working with here in a computer simulation, but it was based on the "common" info regarding how much the plates moved and in what direction. Nothing fits. Combining the sea floor spreading theory with continental drift and information on global seismicity, as they do use today, makes everything wrong because the "official" figures of spreading/subduction do not add up.

See the following document:

Testing an astronomically-based decadal-scale empirical harmonic climate model versus the IPCC (2007) general circulation climate models

The proposed model assumes that the climate is resonating with, or synchronized to a set of natural harmonics that have been associated to the solar system planetary motion, mostly determined by Jupiter and Saturn. We show that the GCMs fail to reproduce the major decadal and multidecadal oscillations found in the global surface temperature record from 1850 to 2011. On the contrary, the proposed harmonic model is found to well reconstruct the observed climate oscillations from 1850 to 2011, and it is able to forecast the climate oscillations from 1950 to 2011 using the data covering the period 1850-1950, and vice versa. The 9.1-year cycle is shown to be likely related to a decadal Soli/Lunar tidal oscillation, while the 10-10.5, 20-21 and 60-62 year cycles are synchronous to solar and heliospheric planetary oscillations.

There are lots pf charts and graphs in the paper showing how the relationship between the angles of Jupiter and Saturn to each other affect the global climate.

The major hpothesized mechanism is that the planets, in particular Jupiter and Saturn, induce solar or heliospheric oscillations that induce equivalent oscillations in the electromagnetic properties of the upper atmosphere. The latter induces similar cycles in the cloud cover and in the terrestrial albedo forcing the climate to oscillate in the same way. The soli/lunar tidal cyclical dynamics also appears to play an important role in climate change at specific frequencies.

They have backcasted what the temperatures should be with their model and it shows an amazing degree of congruence with the ice core records for the studied time period.



The red line is the recorded data, the solid black line is the results of the hypothesized model, and then there are the various IPCC (Anthropogenic Global Warming) projections.

While not earthquake related directly, the paper does speak to the topic of other planets and the sun having a greater affect upon our world than is generally considered.

About two weeks ago, Northern Italy was active. The Swiss quake was probably influenced by Italy moving.

Could be, the entire region is very limited in scope

Hey y'all . . . Muzzy, Puterman and Diamondsmith

Do you notice here:

earthquake.usgs.gov...

The virtual line of 5.X quakes from

Magnitude 5.1 - MINAHASA, SULAWESI, INDONESIA

Clear over and down toward Tonga?

I suspect all you experts will note that there's no possible correlation between those quakes etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda.

Guess I'm not buying it. Just doesn't look that way to this layman.

Is there any precedent for such a line and NOTHING of significance following afterwards?

Might should go on South a bit and include in that line this one:

Magnitude 5.3 - KERMADEC ISLANDS, NEW ZEALAND

earthquake.usgs.gov...

Therefore what, I don't have a clue.

It just kind of jumped out at me as not all that common, somehow.

Is it INCONCEIVABLE

that along that whole long line might be a much bigger quake in the not distant future?

IIRC, Bandah Ache was not that long a . . . what was it . . . a fault slip?

Is there a handy map available showing the known faults near that line of quakes?

reply to post by BO XIAN

IIRC, Bandah Ache was not that long a . . . what was it . . . a fault slip?

The Cause: moving geological plates The Indo-Australian plate moves below the Eurasian plate at around 70 mm per year on average. Plates get locked and move very little for many years, even centuries, pressure builds up - and is then suddenly and catastrophically released in the form of a major earthquake. This happened on 26th December 2004 below Sumatra on the fault line between the Indo-Australian and the Eurasian plates.

I don't think they could be related in a way.

Thanks greatly for your kind links and skilled and experienced perspective.

Certainly given the fault lines . . . and the distances . . . one could readily conclude the line of quakes was merely

coincidence.

Yet, it sure LOOKS . . . at least interesting . . .

So much for being a layman. LOL

Appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Now that's a strange location....

I thought that was strange also,can you pull up the history of that location?

reply to post by BO XIAN


yeah, you would think they are all related to the same thing wouldn't you, ie expansion of the Australian Plate.

then out of left field .................... Mozambique



I hadn't looked at this page for a while, looks like they have taken it past the Beta version and this is going to be the style. I like it About time!

USGS Latest Earthquakes - Mapping

Anymore info anywhere about the Swiss eq anyone?
Just curious.

Just this

I guess the Mozambique quake is not so odd after all.

Earthquake Hazard Map.


This from the 7.5 in 2006.

A powerful earthquake measuring 7.5 on the Richter Scale struck Mozambique and Zimbabwe just past midnight. The quake's centre was in Manica Province and news reports say that two people were killed and more than a dozen injured. Earthquakes in Southern Africa are recorded by the Seismology Unit of the South African Council for Geoscience in Gauteng; the unit has seismic a history for South Africa since 1620. As this seismic hazard map for Africa shows, it's not an area that often gets quakes, so it's not surprised people were panicked.

Power outages occurred at Maputo. Felt (V) at Beira, Inhambane and Maputo; (IV) at Matola. Felt (IV) at Harare and Mutare, Zimbabwe. Also felt (IV) at Louis Trichardt and Phalaborwa; (III) at Durban and Middelburg; (II) at Johannesburg and Pretoria, South Africa. Felt throughout Mozambique and eastern Zimbabwe.

Interesting how neither Africa or Australia has had a Mag 8 (since 314 AD anyway) That Mag 8 map again

there must have been some biguns in the Rift Valley thousands of years ago though

Yea,I saw your map.
Something must be on the move that hasn't happened in a long time.
