Quake Watch 2012

It looks like USGS snuck in a Mag 4.9 near Guam, in between the East Pacific Rise quakes.

Busy 15 minutes of tectonic activity

Actually, this may take a while to sort out.

I beg to differ since I took them directly from the USGS list at that particular time of day......they very well may have changedthe depth after the fact.

So cut a brother some slack master Yoda

Is anyone watching Califorina? It's really doing alot of little stuff.

I wonder if ever there was a sequence of 7+ (7.4,7.6 and 7.9 revised from 8.1 to 8.0 to 7.9) in the history.

Yes I will cut you some slack , but I think you missed the point which was that the depths of the two being nearly the same, or the same whicheva, was not of significance. In other words there was nothing to go figure.

As a matter of interest since let's face it I am extremely fussy (there is another word that starts with 'an..') about these things when USGS first posted the Japan quake as an 8.9 it was at 24.2 km depth (Version 2). Then they revised to a Mag 9 at 32 km depth and then 30km (Version A which is the current version even though the initial version A was 32 km depth - they changed the depth without changing the version. Bad peeps!! )

Maule was at 30 km depth when first posted and then 34.8 in version 8.

So if you took the last Japan and first Maule then yes they were at the same depth

It is all inaccurate anyway

New Madrid springs to mind. Was that what you were thinking?

As far as I can see it seems to be doing around 50 a day every day the last 7 days except the 21st when there were 70. Currently at mid day UTC there are 23. (All based on mag 1.0+)

More if an event like these took place in the history(recorded) or...revised,because I have a feeling...

By the way Geo Science Australia has it to 6.4...

I got zzzzzz point.....thanks!

I've been watching, crappiekat. That tiny Mag 2.1 on the Garlock fault got my attention, because I had recently been reading about aseismic creep on that portion of the 265 km long fault.
It seems like activity picked up for a bit in California, but now it looks to be settling down--I hope it stays that way.

Keep an eye out for older quakes coming in. Two @ 05:55 UTC just got added. (~21:25 UTC )

I am probably most seriously going to regret making this statement BUT....

Keep an eye out for another large one at Maule or area, and one somewhere on or around the Equador/Combia border region.

No I have not gone into the business of forecasting earthquakes, at least not yet, but I targeted these two areas on the basis of something that I shall explain later if anything comes of it. Sorry to be mysterious but I don't want people leaping off jumping to conclusions if I am wrong, which I probably am. (I will also explain it if I am wrong)

Time span by the way ~1 month.

I just wanted this on record where I can't alter it!!!

We're doomed now, if Puterman starts eq predictions.

Let's see and wait, for your explanations of course mate.

A little doodle

did anyone post about yesterdays japan quake? 6.3

www.reuters.com...

no damage.

What is your point with this graph? It's obviously skewed from a single event. I suspect it'd be a rather mundane graph if you did Jan 1 thru Mar 10.

I'm thinking maybe Bolivia
