[quote:Solar Guardian:MV8yMTMxMTAxXzM1OTY4ODI4X0QyMjEwNkQz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 33827543:MV8yMTMxMTAxXzM1OTY4NTg5XzU3MTE0RDlD] I hope not! [/quote] Last year it took two double Mag 8+ quakes to rupture the Indo-Australian plate, one is a Mag 8.7 and the other is a Mag 8.2. The pressure and shock from those two quakes reverberated throughout that plate, causing pressure and tear that caused the rupture of that Indo-Australian plate. So, in order for the Pacific Plate, which is thicker to rupture there near Santa Cruz, requires multiple low 9-pointers in a span of a few minutes...... [/quote]
Original Message
Since the 8.0 magnitude quake there, there has been over 60 quakes Mag 5.0 and above there. Those can't be just ordinary aftershocks. Aftershocks are supposed to be decreasing in strength, and yet we had a 6 pointer in that area after the swarm of 5 pointer(aftershocks?).
So, my question is, is the Pacific Plate about to break and rupture near the Santa Cruz islands area?
