I am going with my gut feeling that says it's gonna be exponential coz of late it has been right on target too many times to prove mere coincidence. |

By Jupiter (OP) User ID: 129117 Spain 04/03/2007 10:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | With an increase in Tsunamis in the Southern Pacific, I would say that something major is stirring down there. I wonder if a massive volcano eruption is pending, something that would swallow a large island or some such. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 218314Kavachi in the Solomons has been erupting as recently as 2001 I believe. A submarine volcano it is mostly below sea level. I wonder how close the recent earthquake was and whether we will see signs of renewed activity. [link to www.volcano.si.edu] |

No one knows what the fuck is going on there, but studies has confirmed the presence of magma right under the southest city in the country. Having tremors all day, every day. And that zone of Chile historically didn't have earthquakes, because is not in the "ring of fire". Anyone with common sense can confirm at least that something is wrong with this. |

Quoting: By Jupiter 129117The network for the data (USGS) has been pretty consistent since 1973, earlier than that you may have a point. Sometimes you just have to believe the data. Yes, because 8.0 magnitude quakes just can't be felt without delicate and precise measurements. |

There are a number of reasons his statement is false. #1: btw 1973 and present more remote monitoring stations have been installed and are recording shimmers not recorded before, and recording smaller ones. With the installation of more stations and better equiptment they can more precisely measure the quake. #2: a 7.1 is ten times the power of a 7.0, thus it would take 10 7.0's to release the power of 1 7.1. with that said, all it takes is 1 nice sized 8.0 and throw that data completely out of context. you should not be looking at a summary of 10 years, # and total power out. You should be looking at the actual data (the numbers are small enough) to see what is the "mean" average of the data vs total power out. brb, to explain to you how your data can be giving you false visions. |

Atma User ID: 205746 United States 04/03/2007 12:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to earthquake.usgs.gov] Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant throughout this century and, according to our records, have actually seemed to decrease in recent years. According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 18 major earthquakes (7.0 - 7.9) and one great earthquake (8.0 or above) in any given year. However, let's take a look at what has happened in the past 32 years, from 1969 through 2001, so far. Our records show that 1992, and 1995-1997 were the only years that we have reached or exceeded the long-term average number of major earthquakes since 1971. In 1970 and in 1971 we had 20 and 19 major earthquakes, respectively, but in other years the total was in many cases well below the 18 per year which we may expect based on the long-term average. |

* Vital signs of life User ID: 215827 United States 04/03/2007 12:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People who say large earthquakes are not increasing are in for one hell of a shock. Because they need more proof. So proof nature will give them. Their arrogance, contempt and disrespect must be corrected. If they hold on to their denial for too long they will lose their minds completely. Prepare yourselves for the greatest changes the world has ever seen. |

I have read this Atma and agree that you can cut the data many ways, but I do think the very large earthquakes (+8.0) are indicative of an increase in quantity and energy output. The argument is that the planet is becoming less stable and that a significant increase in the power of quakes is becoming evident. I for one believe we will see a sharp rise in earthquakes and eruptive phenomena and a sharp rise in their output. Interestingly the site [link to www.jupitersdance.com] has been visited by residents of the Solomon Islands in the past. The April 1st earthquake was fairly close, 20 miles approx from Mt Veve. Which has erupted in the past 10,000 years. [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Yep, the debunkers and ones in denial are in for one hell of a shock. And these guys remain firmly planted in their denial even though another tsunami pummelled the south pacific. What a coincidence!! |

The Bible just keeps lining up with current events. What can you do? As an ex-atheist, who rectified his erroneous thinking by intensive and highly analytical and crititical studies of history and all sciences, I don't mind at all =) I have never taken the liberty, but I would say that in the past 100 years, the phenomena described in the Bible in regards to the 'Times of the End' on a global level has increased steadily, and historically unproportionally. All this despite the better reporting and reliable scientific data etc. I believe that it has truly been exponential. One of my favorite Bible passages, which served as a wake-up call for me especially was 2. Timothy 3:2; "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. For from these arise those men who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth." I don't think that one can describe our generation more better than that. Even my still-atheistically-inclined collegues admit the eerie accuracy of that statement. Pick a line, you will find studies that show that there has been a steady, unsettling increase in all these things, and especially remarkable following 1914 and even moreso since 1964. Keep your guard brother, and "fight the good fight"! |

I think the monitoring was pretty global once the need to monitor nuke tests in the early 50's...an 8 wouldn't get by the system. 2. Using a calculation to give an estimated energy output seems more meaningful in this context than a mean. True, if you go back to the early sixties you would see a spike from the Chilean and Alaskan quakes which would skew the picture a little. If you go back further than that the monitoring coverage might be suspect. But if your inflation linked paycheck doubled every 12 years you'd still figure it hadn't gone up? |
