Many details about the shaking process remain unknown, including what exactly it is about Earth that shakes the asteroids, and why this happens from a distance as far away as 16 Earth radii. What is certain is that the conditions depend on complex factors such as the velocity and duration of the encounter, the asteroid’s shape and the nature of the preexisting regolith. “The exact trigger distance depends on all those seismology factors that are the totally new and interesting area for cutting edge research,” Binzel said.

Feb. 14, 2013: For eons, Earth has felt the tremors of asteroids striking our planet. From the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago to the felled forests around Tunguska in 1908, the space rocks keep coming.
This week, Earth strikes back. When asteroid 2014 DA14 makes a record close approach to our planet on Feb. 15th, the space rock could be the one feeling tremors.
New research by Richard Binzel, a professor of planetary science at MIT, suggests that many near-Earth asteroids experience a seismic jolt when they pass too close to our planet’s gravitational field.
"We are going to be looking closely for evidence of seismic activity on 2014 DA14 as it passes by," says Binzel. "This is the first case of an object coming close enough to experience quakes AND where we have enough notice to plan observations."

couldnt seismic activity move it off its course?

im guessing the activity comes from being so close to earth?

No. Its like a bullet in a vacuum.

Think it through. In the presence of gravity, do two compounds if different density heat at the same rate? Do compounds of differing masses expand and contract uniformly? Is it not the case that in the presence of gravity, a speeding rock will experience heat and pressure changes, un-uniformly throughout its compound composition?

To me, this is all basic physics.

Thread: Asteroid 2012 DA14 will cause multiple 10 mag EQ and sink Indonesia......

Its closest approach point will be over Sumatra

On Friday, when asteroid 2012 DA14 approaches within 17,200 miles (27,000 kilometers) of Earth, it will be over Sumatra, Indonesia at its closest point while zipping by the planet. That's just one-thirteenth the average distance from Earth to the moon.


funny how its closest aproach to earth is right over the spot of high EQ activity.....

this may be all we need for,,,you know

Nature's firing another warning shot across the bow of Spaceship Earth on Friday, and NASA will stream close-up views early in the afternoon.

At 2:25 p.m., asteroid 2012 DA14 will get within 17,150 miles of our planet - less than a twelfth of the distance to the moon and well inside the orbits of geosynchronous satellites, which apparently aren't in the 150-foot, 130,000-ton space rock's path.

A rock that size is big enough to destroy a city.

Nothing this large has been observed coming this close, according to a Bloomberg report.

Beginning about noon Friday, images of the approaching asteroid from astronomers in Europe and Australia will be streamed, weather permitting, at www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2.

For a half-hour starting at 2 p.m., NASA will begin providing commentary along with live images from observatories in Australia, again weather-permitting, at www.nasa.gov/ntv, as well as the link above.

It's just a hint, thank goodness, at much-scarier, though remote, possibilities
