Quake Watch 2013

reply to post by PuterMan


Another probably ignorant question for you and muzzy.

Here

www.iris.edu... zm=2&mt=ter&sz=large

Looking at the deeper quakes under the islands North of NZ . . . then following the slope from those deeper quakes up to NZ . . .

I'm not aware of the motions of the purported plates involved and am too keen to do other things to check . . . but I was wondering . . .

is there the least bit of a possibility that that slope from the deeper quakes North of NZ toward NZ could involve any . . . progressive . . . what . . .

maybe not movement in terms of massive mass movement of crust or land . . .

but perhaps waves of quakes from deeper up to the NZ area quakes?

Have you noticed any such waves of quakes sort of trends along that slope or line?

If this is too ignorant a question for your bother, I'll understand. No sweat.

BTW, THANKS BIG FOR THE ISRAEL QUAKE LINKS.

Not sure what you are suggesting, but the entire length from Cook Strait to Samoa is one big long edge of the Australia Plate, supposedly being subducted by the Pacific Plate. The various ridges to the west of the Kermadec Trough are remnants of old subduction edges ie Coleville Ridge was once where the Kermadec Ridge is now. Before that the Norfolk Ridge was the edge of the Plate.
The depths of earthquakes are pretty consistent along the length but the angle of decent may be different.

It's geothermal extraction, power generation system.
same as The Geysers in N. California

Ahhhhhhhhhhh . . . sounds like a sufficient explanation, to me.

What I was wondering . . . if I can articulate it any better . . . is . . .

Take that deepest quake near Samoa etc. Draw a line to Cook Strait.

IS IT THE CASE, or not, along that line

that quake frequency or energy released or sequencing

at all occur from that direction--from the deep Samoa area up to Cook Strait?

Is that a clearer question?

Thanks for the news update.
That's great news that no one was there to get injured during these quakes. Guess they must be thinking about the extra supplies to bring with them when they do go to make repairs if needed. Scientist that work in this type of environment are resourceful.

Yes, I see. Pretty strong man made swarm. It appears to be in Brennisteinsfjöll system. Magma movement cannot be lined out though.

As far as I can assertain, it is only the energy released that ties together, and only as far as the Kermadec Islands, if you recall the theory of the energy drop off below 10TTNT in New Zealand just about always results in a M5+ within 2-5 days anywhere along that line.
Having said that we do feel big quakes from the Tonga area here in Cook Strait (M7.6+)
I have seen no "quake frequency" or "sequencing" relationship here, or anywhere else on the Planet for that matter, its all pretty random. That sort of stuff seems to be confined to small areas of 300km square and is very long term (decades)

Getting a bit bumpy out there

Ha I'm 12 hrs ahead, but half a day behind with the daily GSAIM maps.
Should we be doing a partial day? this seems to be my new default time to be doing the downloads off NIED and QVS DataPro. (5-7am NZST)
I just loaded the latest NIED data to that Dropbox file I sent you a link to, if you want to have a crack at it, I'm off to work now..............
