| Dr. Acula Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 11118 United States02/06/2013 06:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | is it THAT normal though? we know its a pretty active region, but what about all this plate shifting theory bizniz? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33663144 yes it is normal... In fact its right on... the time to worry is when no earthquakes happen... EQ's release the pressure... when that pressure isnt released... it builds up... quakes = good no quakes = bad _______________________  |

EQ's release the pressure... when that pressure isnt released... it builds up... quakes = good no quakes = bad Earthquake Myths Can small EQ's relieve stress to prevent large ones? If you look at earthquake statistics in most regions of the world, including California, you will find that for every magnitude 5 earthquake, there are about 10 that have a magnitude of 4, and for each magnitude 4, there are 10 with magnitude 3. Unfortunately, this means there are not enough small earthquakes to relieve enough stress to prevent the large events. In fact, it would take 32 magnitude 5's, 1000 magnitude 4's, or 32,000 magnitude 3's to equal the energy produced in one magnitude 6 event. [link to seismo.berkeley.edu] |

[link to seismo.berkeley.edu] So looking at the current activity that Santa Cruz is having it would taking 32,000 5.0 EQs to equal an 8.0. That being said the Japan 9.0 quake had multiple 7's prior to the 9. Good video to study earthquake patterns leading up to a large event. |
