Anonymous Coward User ID: 33869861 Germany 02/07/2013 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm afraid that's right. The swarm built up and built up from lots of lower 5 pointers over many quake close to M6, then all the lower 6 pointers came followed by higher 6 pointers. Then the 'main shock' of M8, a M7 and still, it doesn't stop shaking. There are still M6 every few hours. There is a law after which the real main shock of a very large megathrust quake is mostly 1 to 1.2 magnitudes stronger than the strongest foreshock ... Let's hope the M8 really was the main shock, but I doubt that. |
