Look at the red areas wheer the majority are occuring. Right on the slope!!! Quoting: Idgits [link to www.01.ign.es] Looks as if the slope itself is going to snap off. |

Louisiana Mom User ID: 1024995 United States 09/05/2011 03:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dudes. That shit happens and the east coast get hit by a hundred feet tsunami going at 1000 km/h... say goodbye to the 25+ nuclear power plants on the east coast. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1528201 Say hello to 25+ Fukushimas... but worse. Say hello to at least 20 million dead corpses being all over the coast. Say hello to several big cities being wiped off the map. Say bye bye to America as a superpower... for the next hundred years at least. We will have to sell out...for any help to come in we'll have to surrender everything. There will be no way that our enemies will stand by when we're in such a vulnerable state. If this happens Obama will most certainly surrend America's freedoms for aid. WTF ? I really doubt it.. Could it be that the earth is just moving around like it always have. We aren't giving our country up for nuffin. home.. always..... Live, Laugh, Love 2011 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1297814 Germany 09/07/2011 12:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The steep-sided 1500-m-high scarp towers above a low lava platform bordering 12-km-wide El Golfo Bay, and three other large submarine landslide deposits occur to the SW and SE. Three prominent rifts oriented NW, NE, and south at 120 degree angles form prominent topographic ridges. The subaerial portion of the volcano consists of flat-lying Quaternary basaltic and trachybasaltic lava flows and tuffs capped by numerous young cinder cones and lava flows. Holocene cones and flows are found both on the outer flanks and in the El Golfo depression. Hierro contains the greatest concentration of young vents in the Canary Islands. Uncertainty surrounds the report of an historical eruption in 1793." Quoting: Idgits [link to earthquake-report.com] mhh, nice find op thx for this info |

Quoting: Idgits [link to earthquake-report.com] mhh, nice find op thx for this info When you put it into numbers it helps to understand how this could be so devestating. This could essentially be a 18 million square meter surface area. That's a huge mass that could suddenly fall into the sea. A ridge 4600 feet high that would fall into a 36,000 foot long bay...on the top of a massive lava field...at 120 degree angle. That's extrmely steep and could generate some massive speed if falling downward. So, technically...it could do more than cause a tsunami...if the ridge colapses it could devestate the lava platform underneath and puncture it, apply pressure to it causing it to breach or may allow the lava field to break open inside the ridge itself where the earth fell down. There's all kinds of possibilities here. This island is called Hierro...it means "Iron" or "Strong" or even "Hero" based on the three langauges previously spoken there. |

You know what I did...I pulled up [link to hisz.rsoe.hu] and I looked at the islands. If you zoom in on Hierro you will see what look like sink holes or elevation changes showing destabilization and deformation near the crest lines. The place is full of cuts and breaks and cliffs. I don't know how old or new those deformations are BUT they're there. If someone has google earth they may be able to get a newer view of the place. |
