Could very well be something building up…..

I have a question for all the experts here. This was mentioned on another thread but it didn't get much attention.

About a week ago in the suburbs of Chicago a 3.2 earthquake happened. First it was blamed on a quarry blast but then they found out the quarry blast was 7 seconds before the earthquake. There was an article about how there is a disagreement on what happened. Here's the article, I would be interested to know what people here on ATS think.

There was definitely a single event and not a blast and then an earthquake.

Here is a 'normal' seismogram of it (same seismo)

Click the image to enlarge

"Suzan van der Lee, a seismologist and associate professor at Northwestern University, isn't so sure.

"To me, the seismographs look like they could be an earthquake," said van der Lee, who examined records of the tremor from a Northwestern-owned seismograph at Ryerson Woods Forest Preserve in Lake County. "The blast would have had to set off much more than 10 times as much as explosive as typical [to register at 3.2 on the Richter Scale]. It seems unlikely that setting off such a large, erroneous amount of explosive would happen by accident, or on purpose."

I am not a seismologist and associate professor at Northwestern University but I have to disagree. Not only does the trace NOT look like an earthquake, the magnitude of 3.2 is NOT 10 times the normal amount of TNT of a quarry blast. That represent just under 1 Tonne of TNT (951kg) and if you browse the mine phases lists you can see blasts of this magnitude (3.2 mlbg) often at Gillette and other mines.

Sorry Prof, you are wrong.

Magnitude 6.8 Earthquake Scotia Sea 16-Nov-13 (b000kznc)

Having a bit of a play with my new webicorder form. Here is BGS - SOFT in the Faeroe Islands which is the opposite end of the planet from the Mag 6.8 in the Scotia Sea.

come on people, at least have a look at it, both of us put a LOT of time into creating this, 75 views??? and 60 of those were us!.
Pathetic

I was 16th person so I wouldn't be pathetic .
As to my +5 bit...I missread wot you rote innit.

Do you think a separate text file with the list of what is on the map on it would be helpful?

Yes indeed. You could just put them on dropbox and link them as in this example and when the link is clicked they should simply display in the browser.

You do need to make the extension txt however and not csv. A csv file will just get downloaded.

Not a problem, I already been doing that for LDEO for ages.

I have not spent enough time researching EQ resources to find minor quake information on Japan. To investigate whether Fukushima's missing cores are deep enough to produce geysers. I have asked others on that thread for links today and in the past but...

My reasoning is that if we see activity like the geysers power plant in California then we know where the cores may be?


Thanks if anyone can lend some information.

reply to post by donlashway

If you check the maps on GSAIM that have NIED data and zoom into the area you will see the Fukushima area itself is having very few earthquakes.


The Geysers activity is due to Hydro Fracking, they have been doing it for 30+ years. Its a natural Geothermal Area, Fukushima is not.

reply to post by muzzy


Great thanks!
If the cores were encountering any ground water I would expect peculation like a geyser.
There are two reactors that they seem to maintain pressure in and one that is venting somewhere.
I would think that if a core was below the water table anywhere there would be geysers?

And let's hope it stays that way, shall we?

reply to post by donlashway


Aye!.
Of course our map doesn't show less than M1, I have that data but don't post it due to a conflict with the Data Pro format. I'll run a few days through and check if there was anything there.

For a comparison here is a map of Japan earthquakes 14th-15th UTC 2009 before the M9.0 and Tsunami of 2011.

part 14-15/11/2009 UTC map

later...........

here is a "dump" of all the prelimainary quakes of all magnitudes except 0, from 08 to 16th October that I had.
Still nothing much around the Fukushima Plant ( just south of Minamisoma at the end of the Joban Expressway)

If I look at USGS maps arround Chiba, could this develope into a swarm and a bigger one?
I just looked at it and thought, that this seems a bit uncommon to see 3 quakes with 4.5+ arround this region.
I mean quakes are not uncommon there, but that you can see 3 within 6 hours of time

Like this?

This area is tense, that 5.5 on 09112013 at Ushiku Swamp hardly had any aftershocks, which I thought unusual, maybe this is the release, distance is about 46km between the two hotspots

reply to post by dreamfox1


yup i belive so as well,,

took this pic earlier,, for another thread,, (Fukushima),,



Technically,, u are correct.

And that is what is wrong, with modern day thinking.

Can use the time stamp as a reference point if u wish.

further to post by muzzy about the Chiba earthquakes

emsc, usgs and gfz seem to be plotting those 4's and 5's a bit away from where NIED have the main swarm, so I have split the NIED file out
Lat 35.73, Long140.00
Lat 35.54, Long140.33
seems these are the aftreshocks of a 5.2
16/11/2013 11:44:41, 35.6029, 140.1725, 5.2ML, 75.1
with 85 aftershocks to 16/11/2013 23:44:58

here are the results;

Magnitude 7.8 - Scotia Sea (150)

See below
Location in Google Maps

• Date-Time: Sunday, November 17, 2013 @ 09:05:01 UTC
  
• Earthquake location: 60.131°S, 45.970°W,
  
• Earthquake depth: 41.5 km
  
• Event ID: pt13321000
  

Derived from Event Data Source: USGS
Powered by QVSData

There are currently 2 quakes being posted. One from pt and one from at. The us version has not been posted yet. I believe, in the absence of further information, that both these quakes are the same one even though the lat/lon are slightly different.

US version now available

Magnitude 7.3 - Scotia Sea (150)

Just a heads up. It seems everyone is changing to improve services. Of course some changes are better than others.

RSOE EDIS has changed its maps and method of showing EQs. It seems they did not like the fact that on their old system, new EQs could cover the old ones.

Their Data is now on another page.

Warning, some regulars do not like RSOE EDIS and a few of us in the minority think it is fast and uncomplicated. Each to their own.

muzzy thank you for the Chiba map, great work

Looks as if your own uncomplicated service suffered a bit of a dropout there. Does it give location and depth by the way?
