Multiple 7.0+ Earthquakes! - Santa Cruz/Solomon Islands!!

5.9 75km W of Panguna, Papua New Guinea 2013-02-08 17:59:52

For the record: All activity seems to be on the Pacific plate alone. Austrialian plate seems quiet, or much less active.

Just random info...

OK, a little summary. This is really strange activity going on there, and somehow it's also hard to image but: Besides the 8 and the three 7s we had

• 63 quakes between 4.5 and 5
• 96 between 5 and 6
• 10 between 6 and 7

in that region since the first quake of that swarm - a 5.1 on 2013-02-05 19:39:39 - happened.

Don't be so sure

Cray Cray!!!

5.6 70km ESE of Lata, Solomon Islands 2013-02-08 18:07:53 10.988°S 166.413°E

like it's a wave machine........in that area!

I think it's ramping down now. But who knows for sure

z z

I would give it 24-48 more hours before thinking nothing bigger is going to happen.

Be Patient

if you study the original seismo for the 8.0, it looks like a bomb going off, not a natural EQ. The rest could be "natural" but there very well could have been a "trigger event".

OP, change the title to "Multiple 7.0+ Earthquakes! - Santa Cruz/Solomon Islands!!"

I think i remember that line in 2012 ,and california sunk

You're right:
7.1 => 1
6.0 + => 28
5.8-5.9 => 12

Someones trying to release the Kraken!

I thought so, thanks.

It may be true that a bigger one or at least another 8 is on the way.

It will probably be Hawaii

Etta

volcano...

this area any where near n,korea?

Uh, no

i bet he qualified from school with grade A geography too

You are now, right this very moment, on the internet. The world is at your fingertips!

Instead of asking so many questions, do some research and find out for yourself.

This is the only news I watch about the earth:

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

I have been watching earthquake activity daily since 2007 and there is a huge increase of seismic activity over the last five years.

Information I became aware of in 2007 said that there would be increased activity in this very area in 2013 and that the seismic activity will increase from there.

I have been following this guy since I found him on this forum and he is accurate all of the time.

Thread: ANOTHER MAJOR 7 MAG HITS SOLOMON'S ISLE on EXACT DATE PREDICTED for the 5th TIME A ROW!!! EPIC!

Rather than dis-belief of what others may know, be open that they may be more knowledgeable than you are and therefore see something you do not.

Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it isn't true.

Your beliefs are based upon your current knowledge.

Do you know everything? No!

Therefore be open to the information that is coming to you, process it and come to your own conclusions. If you don't agree with it then move on, it wasn't meant for you or your awareness.

Be Love!

These quakes are on the same fault line which is beside Lake Toba, the super volcano in Sumeria which has had many huge quakes including a 9 ... I think ... this century.

That is the area I am concerned about, this could be related?

I did a thread about that a while ago

Thread: Super Volcano about to explode? .... "Lake Toba" ... MEGA DOOOOM ???

Below is the opening post of my thread I did a while ago

Is a massive volcanic eruption from Lake Toba in Indonesia immanent?.

Lake Toba is a lake and supervolcano. It is the largest lake in Indonesia and the largest volcanic lake in the world. Lake Toba is the site of a supervolcanic eruption that occurred an estimated 69,000 to 77,000 years ago, a massive, climate-changing event. It is estimated to have been a VEI 8 eruption. It is the largest known explosive eruption anywhere on Earth in the last 25 million years. it has been accepted that the eruption of Toba led to a volcanic winter with a worldwide decline in temperatures between 3 to 5 °C (5 to 9 °F), and up to 15 °C (27.0 °F) in higher latitudes.

The eruption was large enough to have deposited an ash layer approximately 15 cm (5.9 in) thick over the entire South Asia; at one site in central India, the Toba ash layer today is up to 6 m (20 ft) thick and parts of Malaysia were covered with 9 m (30 ft) of ashfall. In addition it has been variously calculated that 10,000 million tonnes (1.1×1010 short tons) of sulphuric acid or 6,000 million tonnes (6.6×109 short tons) of sulphur dioxide were ejected into the atmosphere by the event, causing acid rain fallout.

The Toba caldera is the only supervolcano in existence that can be described as Yellowstone's "bigger" sister.

The subsequent collapse formed a caldera that, after filling with water, created Lake Toba. The island in the center of the lake is formed by a resurgent dome.


More recent activity

Smaller eruptions have occurred at Toba since. The small cone of Pusukbukit has formed on the southwestern margin of the caldera and lava domes. The most recent eruption may have been at Tandukbenua on the northwestern caldera edge, since the present lack of vegetation could be due to an eruption within the last few hundred years.

Some parts of the caldera have experienced uplift due to partial refilling of the magma chamber, for example pushing Samosir Island and the Uluan Peninsula above the surface of the lake. The lake sediments on Samosir Island show that it has been uplifted by at least 450 m (1,476 ft) since the cataclysmic eruption. Such uplifts are common in very large calderas, apparently due to the upward pressure of unerupted magma. Toba is probably the largest resurgent caldera on Earth. Large earthquakes have occurred in the vicinity of the volcano more recently, notably in 1987 along the southern shore of the lake at a depth of 11 km (6.8 mi).

Lake Toba lies near the Great Sumatran fault which runs along the centre of Sumatra in the Sumatra Fracture Zone.[9] The volcanoes of Sumatra and Java are part of the Sunda Arc, a result of the northeasterly movement of the Indo-Australian Plate which is sliding under the eastward-moving Eurasian Plate. The subduction zone in this area is very active: the seabed near the west coast of Sumatra has had several major earthquakes since 1995, including the 9.1 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and the 8.7 2005 Sumatra earthquake, the epicenters of which were around 300 km (190 mi) from Toba.

On 12 September 2007, a magnitude 8.5 earthquake shook the ground in Sumatra and was felt in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. The epicenter for this earthquake was not as close as the previous two earthquakes, but it was in the same vicinity.

On 26 October 2010, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake occurred 36 kilometers (22 mi) southwest of the nearby island of Pagai-selatan. A 3-metre (10 ft) tsunami immediately followed the quake.

On 10 January 2012, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake occurred within the area.

The 2004 earthquake physically rolled the Sumatran island and altered the shape of the Earth as was detected by the GRACE satellite. Recent highly localized earthquake activity may initiate magmatic activity of this colossal global climate modifier.

Indonesia Earthquake (Magnitude 8.6) Wednesday 11th April 2012

A great earthquake (magnitude 8.6) hit off the coast of Aceh, Indonesia on 11th April 2012. The epicentre was 434 km SW of Banda Aceh, and the focus was at a depth of 22 km. A tsunami warning was issued for countries surrounding the Indian Ocean. Earthquakes of this magnitude have the potential to affect volcanoes within a 700 km radius. This includes Toba. A magnitude 8.2 aftershock occurred 2 hours after the great earthquake.

Here is a good image of the bigger quakes and how close they were to Toba.

The Pacific Plate is about the crack in half...
Get a map, globe, atlas and a ruler
put the Solomon Islands on the midpoint of said ruler,
then draw a line outward.
REAL TOUGH SHIT COMMIN' DOWN BETWEEN MARCH 17TH AND MAY 29TH THIS YEAR !!!!
Fiscal cliff, isn't a small turd or even a small fart compared to this shitstorm

that would be bad enough, but what is gonna happen will be far worse than even that.

totally agree

major plate readjustment, which may even result in a physical pole shift

it is something unbelievable, i know, but it's what is coming. we'll be lucky if 1% of us make it
