Quake Watch 2012

I can't tell, but is there an uptick near South Cali as of late? What the average?

Cali-Nevada Fault Map This is at 372.

California as a whole over the past month, i.e. any event of 1.0+ from USGS with California in the name, is steady as a rock (nice evenly climbing straight line graph)



As above but only for events with the location Southern California if, if anything, is showing a very slight decrease.



Compliments of the Quake Watch Graphing Service.


ETA before anyone asks - here is Nevada

G'morning, or afternoon maybe for you?

Wow, a nice straight line indeed 'til the ending point.

Thanks for posting them.

One minute past noon so Good Afternoon for me and Good Morning for you.

The energy release is a different story as always.

Southern California energy showing some bigger wallops towards the end of the most recent month, although subsided now.



Then California as a whole where in total the biggest punch was at the start of the past month.



And finally Nevada energy

Big kick (relatively speaking) in the middle but pretty flat in between.



All goes to show that energy is what matter s and not numbers, as I always maintain.

Don't forget that quakes can be listed many days after the event in places like California, Yellowstone etc.

You should note the time and check back anything up to 7 days after at least. Sometimes it can take longer.

Guess that makes me redundant then

Good call. All the mess around 1800ish UTC is definitely that one.

Wasn't there just a 6.0-something earthquake in Tokyo?

I can swear that I saw a headline but it may be older?

Nothing on USGS or EMSC.

Nothing on JMO either.

Sorry can't help you there. Maybe it was an old report.

In fact nothing in my database for quakes from USGS in the last 3 years with Tokyo in the location!


If one happens in the next few hours maybe it was a prophetic statement by you, or maybe we know who to blame???

Now there is, maybe.

6.3 according to Japan uStream, 5.9 JMO.

5.8 according to USGS.

This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.

Now let me see. The Sword posted on 1/4/2012 @ 13:25 (BST) and the quake was 14:04:25 UTC which is 15:04:25 BST and thus just over one and half hours AFTER the post by The Sword.

EMSC

I am going to ask either a really stoooopid question or one hich has been answered before, so I apologise in advance. Just blame my ignorance on my daughters 21st birthday yesterday

I have noticed over the last week, that much more than normal EQ's reported on EMSC are at a greater depth.
Question...take an eq of say 5.2 at 230 km does that mean at 230km it is far bigger if the seismograph was at that depth? Also ar rgar depth are we looking at magma movement.

I really do apologise if this has been explained before.

Happy belated Birthday for your daughter!

As far as I know, it means that the given magnitude is the one at the stated depth and not on the surface

reply to post by Hellas


Thank you Hellas. Much appreciated. Sooo..that beggars the question as to why we are seeing eq's at a greater depth recently doesn't it? Any thoughts explanations?

(I also want to apologise on behalf of my keyboard...some of the letters are missing/worn away and it looks like I was either drunk or couldn't spell in my last post...neither I just posted without checking as it was late!)

Apparently, the Clintonville boom was recorded.
Was it an earthquake?

Here's one if you don't want to open a file.

This report is good because it adds the infor from the USGS.

Scooby Doo needs to stop chasing his tail. There really is no mystery. The recording is the same as the one I heard on another ATS thread. I think this earthquake is related to the Michigan crack back in 2010.
Glacial rebound.

The only reason someone would be "drilling" underground in Wisc. is water. So, maybe the government is trying to syphon off the Great Lakes without Canada noticing. But this is stupid. Since we've basically given away our rights in the "Free Trade" deal. Sorry. Ranting.
