I know, right?

Muzzy's weighed in on TA's thread on the quakes www.abovetopsecret.com...

Magnitude 6.0
Region SOLOMON ISLANDS
Date time 2014-04-04 11:40:34.0 UTC
Location 10.50 S ; 161.60 E
Depth 74 km



The seismic region is this:

I should just point out to you that these maps you keep linking to do NOT give correct seismic region numbers.

That map is saying region 146 whereas the seismic region of the Solomon Islands is 193 using the accepted Flinn-Engdahl seismic regions that are in common use throughout seismology. Region 146 is Southern Argentina which is a part of seismic area 9 - Extreme South America.

I have no idea who this person is who owns the copyright of the material on the site - thus is the site owner - but if purporting to be a serious site about seismology should at least be capable of using the Flinn-Engdahl regions as a basis for the divisions, as Muzzy and myself did when we carved up New Zealand into sightly different bands.

It is an aftershock! Well it might be. I have not had time to look into to yet and it falls outside the normal parameters for aftershocks so it may be an event in it's own right.

(actually I lost everything for 24 hours - could not get into the computer and am only just bringing everything back on line again)

I note Solomon - getting close to Santa Cruz/Vanuatu even though different seismic regions.

i thought of you when I saw that quake. *bows to PM's seismic genius*

Down a different avenue, I noticed this oddly shallow earthquake, from the wee hours this morning. Mag 3.5 Utah
At a depth of -2.5 kms?
Here is the Google map location. I noticed this strange, industrial facility about 4 kms distant.



I'm guessing it is a pumping station for the Unev petroleum product pipeline, that runs between Las Vegas and near Salt Lake City. Here is a link to a BLM .pdf map of the pipeline route.s

So, mag 3.5 isn't a large earthquake--but it would be a very large explosion.
I wonder if there is a connection? A landslide? (the seismic signal looks earthquakey to me) Or just an earthquake with a bad depth given? (the elevation at the epicenter is 4880', or 1.487 kms)

Chile
sorry been busy, there is rain coming, got to do some work.
I managed to get the time to do the usual maps for GSAIM
here is Chile for 03.04.2014 showing the 7.6 aftershock and others

and 04.04.2014 up to 15:21:01UTC

edit: activity seems to be spreading South

also confirming;
F-E Region: Solomon Islands
Time: 2014-04-04 11:40:34.3 UTC
Magnitude: 6.0 (Mw)
Epicenter: 161.54°E 10.46°S
Depth: 72 km
Status: M - manually revised

Guadacanal, Solomons being hit by torrential rains, people have drowned, Honiara a right off, looks like developing into a Cyclone in all but name

got to go, good luck out there

I have no idea. You can see the quakes, but the needle has just been quivering for what would be hours if the roll is set up at one revolution per 30 minutes.

Harmonic tremors?

More likely interference from other sources of ground vibration such as wind and vehicles. Looked at it just now, and there is interference - it 1:21 pm in Los Angeles.

Got a friend in Moldova chatting online...says she's having an EQ....she's in Moldova....anyone?

reply to post by angelchemuel


couple in Poland,,might have travelled down range of mountain spine,, into Moldavia,, but its literally and figurativly,,quite a stretch.

ohh nothing,, in Moldavia.

yet?

Thanks Bob....
Isn't there a difference between Moldova (bordering Romania) and Moldavia?

PS must have been a tidler....she carried on with the online quiz

"Moldova nians??? / "Moldova ers???,, u most certainly correct.

as u me duh!

I know I've had a Friday night drink...but even that didn't make sense to me!
Nice to bump into you again btw!

yes correct .

and i assumed that the reference would be missed.

i ass um duh

i as u me duh

sorry

yes bumped ,,ouch,,, yes it is

reply to post by BobAthome


Well she's still asking questions...so it couldn't have been too bad!
I'm skipping the chemistry and periodic table questions!

My system is 'different from the Flinn-Engdahl.
Flinn-Engdahl have divided the globe into a more regions. I in 249 regions, and this subdivision 'was made with different criteria and for different purposes.
also my subdivision and 'for a less experienced audience. When you open the page, each user can 'read' cause earthquakes occur in that area. Can 'understand the tectonic plates which are present in the area.

It has no ties with the regions of Flinn-Engdahl. ok?

Well ..... no, not OK!

Having everyone on the planet use one system is really good, we all understand it.

To give an example to make the point. What if you divided a compass into 100 degrees because it would be easier and it would be 'metric.'

Sounds OK except the rest of the world is using 360 degrees. It would get confusing as all hell, planes would crash, ships would get beached and hikers would ave a world of hurt.

Why not use the same system as the rest of the world? The system you are using only serves to confuse and prevent understanding and communication.

What you are doing with the description and details and links inside the map rectangles is all fine, good job, but you really need to match them with what has already been accepted Globally by the scientific community and general public.
Long term, Puterman and I are building a Google Earth file of all the F_E Regions, Japan has been done, and New Zealand, I think he was working on the South West Pacific last time we talked about it.
You would be better off working on that along with us, No?
I have a clue as to why this has not been done yet (KML files of F_E Regions), its a monster job, could take a lifetime! or two!!
