brkg- art bell says 14.0 quake would split america in half

...would two 7.0 quakes do the same thing?...

I don´t understand.

Why is this news?

"...would two 7.0 quakes do the same thing?..."

No you clown. Earthquake measures increase exponentially.

That would be great! the Neocons on one side and the rest on the other side.

Problems solved!

You guys crack me up!!

Yeah, and an earth quake of sufficient magnitude could shatter the planet, but it isn´t gunna happen!! The largest quake ever recorded was the magnitude 9.5 earthquake in Chile on May 22, 1960 with the big Alaskan quake coming a close second at 9.2.

If any of you wizards are still worried on this point, there´s a lot of evidence available indicating that none of the known faults on this planet are capable of generating a magnitude 10.0 or larger earthquake.

Watch out for monsters under the bed son!!

"none of the known faults on this planet are capable of generating a magnitude 10.0 or larger earthquake."

That´s pretty neat. I wonder what pushed up the Rocky Mountain Range. And the Andees and the Himalayas. Global farts?

Mountains may be made suddenly and catastrophically (well for us, not them)with massive tectonic plate subduction.

Stop living on the asshole assumptions of the past where all is slow and peaceful and barely noticable. It could cost you your life.

if you hit yourself in the nuts with a hammer, you can do a lot of damage, too. but that´s not going to happen, is it?

"That´s pretty neat. I wonder what pushed up the Rocky Mountain Range. And the Andees and the Himalayas. Global farts?"


Nope!! Just your average magnitude 7.0 to 10.0 quakes. They´re more than sufficient to product any set of mountains that currently exist as well as many others that have eroded away to nothing. The Appalachian mountains are the roots of a mountain chain that once rivaled the Rocky mountains in hight!! The quakes that produced them were also about 7.0 to 10.0 in magnitude.

If you´ve got evidence of quakes of greater magnitude present it!! So far all I see is a lot of waving of hands and maybe´s!! Yeah, well maybe Eleanor Roosevelt could fly, but I doubt it and I´m certainly not gunna accept it just because someone likes the idea. If you have new evidence lets see it.

Dear Geo-

Faults do not cause earthquakes. EQs are caused
by forces (internal and external to varying degrees)acting upon the tectonic plates. EQs
rutinely happen AT or ON fault lines because
these are the thinest and hence, most vulnerable areas of the plates and the pressure of the forces applied is most easily expressed at the weakest point.
That is why, for instance, you fart out your butt-hole instead of somewhere in the middle of your intestines.

this just in.

a collision with a large meteor would end life as we know it.

thats nothin´!

I say a 20.0 earthquake would split the WORLD!

"..would two 7.0 quakes do the same thing?..."

The scale is logarithmic...

A 14.0 quake is 10 million times more powerful than a 7.0 quake.

No doubt. And if Earth´s core were a giant nuclear bomb, and it exploded, we would be seriously inconvenienced. I´m not going to lose any sleep worrying about either eventuality.

Some of y´all need to take some geology 1401 stat!

12.0 = 160 trilion tons
is that not enough energy for you.
That is equvilent of spliting the earth in half.
i dont know were you got the 14.0 from.

Art Bell claims that lighting farts can be
the cause of spontaneous human combustion.
He also agreed with a caller that nuclear
testing 50 years ago might be the cause of
a 500+ year old phenomena called El Nino.
Some source you got there.




and always will be

Um Idol, he WAS being sarcastic you know!

Esta génte no saben de lo que hablan.

A 14 incher would split me in half too!

160 trillion tons of tnt is the equivilent of 10 billion six hundred and sixty six million six hunderd and sixty six thousond six hunderd and sixty six hiroshima size bombs of 15K Tons each!!!!! and thats just for a magnitude 12.0

i think thats enough energy to destroy the earth, i doubt its possible for a 14.0 quake.

Art Bell is FOS

y tu si sabes?

How big was the New Madrid fault earthquake? 14+ from what I recall hearing. That happened in the 1800s I think. Anybody remember that??? It´s probably why the Mississippi River exists today.

The New Madrid quakes were between 8 and 9 on the Richter scale:

He wasn´t being sarcastic about lighting
farts and El Nino. It isn´t easy to tell
when he is being sarcastic.



and always will be

Just curious--do you have a link to the show where
Art Bell is saying this? Would like to hear that.
Cheers!
SK

so ..... who's calling it ??? is the earth going to fart a 14 inch ball that will split along some geo crack that will form a New madrid fault that could cause another fart??? ... who will be the first....

Eliza Bryan in New Madrid, Territory of Missouri, wrote the following eyewitness account in March, 1812.

On the 16th of December, 1811, about two o'clock, a.m., we were visited by a violent shock of an earthquake, accompanied by a very awful noise resembling loud but distant thunder, but more hoarse and vibrating, which was followed in a few minutes by the complete saturation of the atmosphere, with sulphurious vapor, causing total darkness. The screams of the affrighted inhabitants running to and fro, not knowing where to go, or what to do—the cries of the fowls and beasts of every species—the cracking of trees falling, and the roaring of the Mississippi— the current of which was retrograde for a few minutes, owing as is supposed, to an irruption in its bed— formed a scene truly horrible.
