What is going on in Minnesota? Is this more evidence the North American Craton Rift is possibly awakening? Could there possibly be a pole shift anomaly occurring in that region?

Re: Mysterious Booms in Clintonville,WI Explained. Failed North American Craton Rift is Opening Up. Post any BOOMS heard,in region, here.
I think they are covering something up.. 4 days of booms? from a 1.5 EQ?

What I think it could be from seeing this pinned thread

Thread: NASA admits current Heatwave is from the recent Solar Flares.


is the ground heated up way to fast and as one person said in the town meeting they had either the cold rock or ice under the ground started to rapidly crack causing the booming sounds then the shaking..

Or

If this is possible the rapid heating activated dormant fault lines that were froze over....


In either case this is new to the area and it seems like it could get worse before getting better with all the activity from the sun..
 Quoting: The Chosen One


No doubt about the abnormal temps. As one who lives here I can attest to this. March and April are usually "ice chipping time". During the days, temps usually get a bit above freezing, melting accumulated snow, then much below at night, freezing any water. I chip, chip, chip for weeks to keep the driveway clear.

This year, over a week of 80+ degrees in a row, daffodils done blooming people have mowed yards once or twice. Weathermen looking like fools as they are off on the daily highs by 20 degrees (clearly something not in their computer model is going on).

Just to put this in perspective, normally people are still driving pickup trucks on the lakes here to get to their ice fishing shanties. A lot may be argued or unclear, but the temps are a matter of record. Look at news channel waow for the number of "record breaking days" we've had in March 2012.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12973636


The failed North American Rift is coming back to life cause Chandlers Wobble has been off set and Earth's axis is shifting. These are the signs to look out for. The tell tale signs of an Axis Shift and or Pole Shift;

Watch for an increase in:

Sudden large rogue waves in new places
Sudden Hurricanes in unusual places
Sudden tornadoes out of season
More extremes in drought, heavy rains, out of season snows, flooding, severe storms
Booms, methane flashes, odd underground whomping sounds
Disrupted cell phone, television and radio signals
Unusual animal behavior, disrupted migration patterns
Unusual increases in violent behavior in human beings
Increasingly severe earthquakes
Rising Sea Levels
Storm surge on coastlines with no storm apparent


I think this was written in 1995.

from what i understand the western border of minnesota to the dakotas s part of the continental divide. if tectonic plates are being moved about, the earth's axis is shifting it makes perfect sense that there is stress release going on in other areas.
also if the earth's axis has shifted significantly seems to me that also explains the weird weather and with solar activity being so intense it does make sense we will see quakes in various strange places?

the Agassiz refuge is east of the divide in what use to be the great Agassiz lake ... or glacial lake.
if quakes are happening in this area and last year was a 4mag just south of Willmar which is about 150 or so from the border of mn and the dakotas.... seems to me the N American must be moving and shifting causing stress everywhere.

more info on earthquakes, volcanoes and glaciers in MN past

Earthquakes

Besides eyewitness accounts of earthquakes in Minnesota, geologists look at rock layers for evidence of these events. They can see that different layers do not always lay flat on top of one another. There are folds and breaks. The shifting of the earth (known as earthquakes) caused the layers to move.

Geologists can also see evidence of earthquakes in Minnesota with the Midcontinental rift. This rift, running from Minnesota to Kansas, is the result of the middle of the North American continent splitting apart. Rifting is the opposite of a mountain range forming. Instead of rock material being pushed up to form a mountain, rock material falls down when a wide split in the land is made. Molten material from deep within the earth rises up to fill in the gap.

interesting info on wisconsin....
check out this map and consider this geological information:

So are there fault lines that run through North Central Wisconsin? Not quite, but there are a few close by. These include the Douglas Thrust Fault in the NW corner of the state, the Pine Fault found in Burnett and Polk Counties, the Lake Owens Thrust Fault that extends into western Ashland County, and the Dutchman Creek Fault near Green Bay. There are additional fault lines in southern Wisconsin from near Madison to the suburbs of Milwaukee and further south from New Diggings to Milton. More info and links on this

notice that Clintonville is near where the Dutchman Creek fault is.

OP, you asked previous poster about post glacial rebound and got no answer.

Post glacial rebound-
We all know that ice is lighter than water...see icebergs. As glaciers and the ice caps continue to melt, this new water makes its way to our oceans which become heavier and exert more pressure on the ocean floor. This added pressure is another component to more frequent seismic and volcanic activity that has been taking place globally. This also creates less pressure in the places from which this water came (glaciers). Another effect; a catalyst of our ocean currents is salt. With all of this fresh water making its way into our oceans, some of the ocean currents destabilize or halt altogether because of desalinization.

This is the thread I posted a while back;

Thread: Is The North American Craton moving again? There is evidence to suggest it has come to life. Details inside.


This is what I think is going on in Clintonville,WI;


I think I found the culprit. Look at the "Cutaway to the Craton" picture in this link;

[link to www.mnh.si.edu]

Excerpt;

Throughout much of the central United States, younger sedimentary rocks conceal the craton. But in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota — as well as throughout much of Canada — it is well-exposed.

If you notice in the picture, the failed North American Craton rift runs right through Wisconsin and right through the town of Clintonville. IMHO it is most likely starting to crack in sections under Clintonville, Wisconsin explaining the sounds these folks are hearing. They say the sound is coming from underneath their feet and not too far down. Well if you read above, in that area of Clintonville, the craton is well exposed and not very deep.

This must be the cause of these mysterious booms and shake. The North American Craton has been showing signs of movement in recent years. Here is a thread I started that shows just what I am saying here;

Thread: Is The North American Craton moving again? There is evidence to suggest it has come to life. Details inside.

Multimedia Version;

Choose multimedia version, Then choose Plate Tectonics and Volcanoes, then choose The Ancient Continent. Go through the steps there you see the rift and Craton is right under Wisconsin and particularly Clintonville,WI.

If you notice the shape of the North American Craton, you can see that it borders states that have had an increase in seismic activity. Like VA, CO, TX, AR etc...

1.1 Billion Years Ago – A Near Rift

North America narrowly escaped a fate that has befallen other continents: splitting apart, or rifting. About 1.1 billion years ago, from what is now Kansas to the shores of Lake Superior, the craton began to split. Had this rifting continued, North America would have become two continents separated by a new ocean basin. But after 20 million years, the rifting ceased. The failed rift is 2,000-km (1,200-mi) long. Huge volumes of basaltic magma welled up, creating a stack of igneous rocks 25-km (15.5-mi) thick. Their strong magnetic signals enabled scientists to determine the extent of the rift.

Has this rifting woken up? That is the question here and from these reports it is my opinion that it probably has. Big changes are coming.

The North American Craton is on the move again. That area of Wisconsin is right on top of the failed RIFT. That area is going to sink onto itself when that rift decides to open up, which in this case appears to be doing so. These sounds are the 1st indicators of such.

Namaste.

Interesting! Kind of wish it would split north to south though....I'll take that, as long as I am on the west side and Washington DC can run the east, even if it means dealing with California.

So I'm a big fail and I haven't read the entire thread yet... but I just wanted to say:

1. Nice catch, very intriguing. My "specialty" is Great Lakes geology, and I think it's awesome that you thought of this as a possibility.

2. I have to wonder if it's not so much the rift "waking up", as it could be stresses from isostatic post-glacial adjustment from the last ice age. The crust that was suppressed from the glaciers is still rebounding to this day. For example, the CN tower has been rising in measurable increments over the years, as the Canadian shield returns to its previous state of gravitational equilibrium. Perhaps some of that stress has built up in the failed rift, thus experiencing some slippage between the two would-be "arms" of the rift?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wanted to throw that possibility out there, and if someone has already mentioned this, my apologies, I'll have more time to read through later.

Re: Mysterious Booms in Clintonville,WI Explained. Failed North American Craton Rift is Opening Up. Post any BOOMS heard,in region, here.
This is the thread I posted a while back;

Thread: Is The North American Craton moving again? There is evidence to suggest it has come to life. Details inside.


This is what I think is going on in Clintonville,WI;


I think I found the culprit. Look at the "Cutaway to the Craton" picture in this link;

[link to www.mnh.si.edu]

Excerpt;

Throughout much of the central United States, younger sedimentary rocks conceal the craton. But in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota — as well as throughout much of Canada — it is well-exposed.

If you notice in the picture, the failed North American Craton rift runs right through Wisconsin and right through the town of Clintonville. IMHO it is most likely starting to crack in sections under Clintonville, Wisconsin explaining the sounds these folks are hearing. They say the sound is coming from underneath their feet and not too far down. Well if you read above, in that area of Clintonville, the craton is well exposed and not very deep.

This must be the cause of these mysterious booms and shake. The North American Craton has been showing signs of movement in recent years. Here is a thread I started that shows just what I am saying here;

Thread: Is The North American Craton moving again? There is evidence to suggest it has come to life. Details inside.

Multimedia Version;

[link to www.mnh.si.edu]
Choose multimedia version, Then choose Plate Tectonics and Volcanoes, then choose The Ancient Continent. Go through the steps there you see the rift and Craton is right under Wisconsin and particularly Clintonville,WI.

If you notice the shape of the North American Craton, you can see that it borders states that have had an increase in seismic activity. Like VA, CO, TX, AR etc...

1.1 Billion Years Ago – A Near Rift

North America narrowly escaped a fate that has befallen other continents: splitting apart, or rifting. About 1.1 billion years ago, from what is now Kansas to the shores of Lake Superior, the craton began to split. Had this rifting continued, North America would have become two continents separated by a new ocean basin. But after 20 million years, the rifting ceased. The failed rift is 2,000-km (1,200-mi) long. Huge volumes of basaltic magma welled up, creating a stack of igneous rocks 25-km (15.5-mi) thick. Their strong magnetic signals enabled scientists to determine the extent of the rift.

Has this rifting woken up? That is the question here and from these reports it is my opinion that it probably has. Big changes are coming.

The North American Craton is on the move again. That area of Wisconsin is right on top of the failed RIFT. That area is going to sink onto itself when that rift decides to open up, which in this case appears to be doing so. These sounds are the 1st indicators of such.

Namaste.

So I'm a big fail and I haven't read the entire thread yet... but I just wanted to say:

1. Nice catch, very intriguing. My "specialty" is Great Lakes geology, and I think it's awesome that you thought of this as a possibility.

2. I have to wonder if it's not so much the rift "waking up", as it could be stresses from isostatic post-glacial adjustment from the last ice age. The crust that was suppressed from the glaciers is still rebounding to this day. For example, the CN tower has been rising in measurable increments over the years, as the Canadian shield returns to its previous state of gravitational equilibrium. Perhaps some of that stress has built up in the failed rift, thus experiencing some slippage between the two would-be "arms" of the rift?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wanted to throw that possibility out there, and if someone has already mentioned this, my apologies, I'll have more time to read through later.

That is another good possibility. Do you know if they are looking into this?

It's been millions of years since this thing moved and it looks like it's way over due.

Just saw a piece on Fox news about the Clintonville booms. New audio and you can hear the "booms" well.
They are saying the USGS has finally said it is earthquakes causing the sounds.
Craton on the move, imho.

It's what I been saying. It is way over due IMHO. This could be a disaster beyond the frame work of all natural disasters since mankind has been here on earth.
