Swarm of EQ's near Long Valley Caldera (supervolcano)

How many years do we have notable tsunamis? or clusters of earthquakes off Oregon, and, California, and, Greece, and, the north Ridge in the Atlantic?

every year there is a bell curve of earthquakes...this year, there have been clusters that scientists have not been able to explains.

Link or you stink!




and, you are correct. however, i have been studying earthquakes for years. I get alerts from the major geological surveys and this summer has been very strange. This week has been off the charts.


DOOM OVER

From the USGS site:
The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes. The NEIC now locates about 50 earthquakes each day, or about 20,000 a year.

As more and more seismographs are installed in the world, more earthquakes can be and have been located. However, the number of large earthquakes (magnitude 6.0 and greater) has stayed relatively constant.




Check out the statistics for the year. 2009 is a down year so far. Nothing to see hear folks...move along

I am afraid to say it is slowing down...it will start up again like last time I said it. So to keep it quit I will say it is still going to be very active. I am a dyslexic doomer LOL.

Keeler, CA here I am leaving now.


Do you really live there? Are you feeling all of these? Any other strange shit going on up there?

Unusual Earthquake Swarm Off Oregon Coast Puzzles Scientists
enlarge

Oregon coast. Researchers have recorded more than 600 earthquakes in the last 10 days off the central Oregon coast in an area not typically known for a high degree of seismic activity. — Scientists at Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center have recorded more than 600 earthquakes in the last 10 days off the central Oregon coast in an area not typically known for a high degree of seismic activity.

This earthquake “swarm” is unique, according to OSU marine geologist Robert Dziak, because it is occurring within the middle of the Juan de Fuca plate – away from the major, regional tectonic boundaries.

“In the 17 years we’ve been monitoring the ocean through hydrophone recordings, we’ve never seen a swarm of earthquakes in an area such as this,” Dziak said. “We’re not certain what it means. But we hope to have a ship divert to the site and take some water samples that may help us learn more.” The water samples may indicate whether the process causing the earthquakes is tectonic or hydrothermal, he added.

At least three of the earthquakes have been of a magnitude of 5.0 or higher, Dziak said, which also is unusual. On Monday (April 7), the largest event took place, which was a 5.4 quake. Seismic activity has continued through the week and a 5.0 tremor hit on Thursday. Numerous small quakes have continued in between the periodic larger events.

Few, if any, of these earthquakes would be felt on shore, Dziak said, because they originate offshore and deep within the ocean.

The earthquakes are located about 150 nautical miles southwest of Newport, Ore., in a basin between two subsurface “faulted” geologic features rising out of the deep abyssal sediments. The hill closest to the swarm location appears to be on a curved structure edging out in a northwestern direction from the Blanco Transform Fault toward the Juan de Fuca ridge, Dziak said.

Analysis of seismic “decay” rates, which look at the decreasing intensity of the tremors as they radiate outward, suggest that the earthquakes are not the usual sequence of a primary event followed by a series of aftershocks, Dziak said.

“Some process going on down there is sustaining a high stress rate in the crust,” he pointed out.

Dziak and his colleagues are monitoring the earthquakes through a system of hydrophones located on the ocean floor. The network – called the Sound Surveillance System, or SOSUS – was used during the decades of the Cold War to monitor submarine activity in the northern Pacific Ocean. As the Cold War ebbed, these and other unique military assets were offered to civilian researchers performing environmental studies, Dziak said.

Hatfield Marine Science Center researchers also have created their own portable hydrophones, which Dziak has deployed in Antarctica to listen for seismic activity in that region. The sensitive hydrophones also have recorded a symphony of sounds revealing not only undersea earthquakes, but the movement of massive icebergs, and vocalizations of whales, penguins, elephant seals and other marine species.

This isn’t the first time the researchers have recorded earthquake swarms off the Oregon coast, Dziak said. In 2005, they recorded thousands of small quakes within a couple of weeks along the Juan de Fuca Ridge northwest of Astoria. Those earthquakes were smaller, he pointed out, and located along the tectonic plate boundary.

This is the eighth such swarm over the past dozen years, Dziak said, and the first seven were likely because of volcanic activity on the Juan de Fuca ridge. The plate doesn't move in a continuous manner and some parts move faster than others. Movement generally occurs when magma is injected into the ocean crust and pushes the plates apart.

“When it does, these swarms occur and sometimes lava breaks through onto the seafloor,” Dziak pointed out. “Usually, the plate moves at about the rate a fingernail might grow – say three centimeters a year. But when these swarms take place, the movement may be more like a meter in a two-week period."

But this eighth swarm may be different.

“The fact that it’s taking place in the middle of the plate, and not a boundary, is puzzling,” Dziak admitted. “It’s something worth keeping an eye on.”

He comes another swarm:

remember that indan guy said after croncite died eq's come.
. . . .

I would like to read that prediction again. I can't remember the name he posted under to search it.

IT WORKED!

Quakes have slowed way down for the day.

6pm and 3 in the last hour at that spot. = u r a fucktard



And none of them happened after my post right? And you understand that slowed down for the day does not mean stopped right you ignorant piece of shit?

Now, the North-Atlantic ridges' turn....

Told ya....now Central Cali!

I have a bad feeling, as my wife and son are taking my grandkids to disnyland tomorrow. So I really hope all of this blows over, the thread dies, and we live happy ever after, for at least until they get home safe.

Sending your family positive thoughts OP!

This sure doesn't feel right does it?


Not at all and last week I to had a dream about SOMETHING happening in the US and that was after I dreamed of fire in California and then it happened and then of flooding due to a wave which happens but I never post my so called prophetic dreams cause I could be wrong so I keep em to myself but the rate at of these dreams has me worried


The wave you saw could have been Samoa or Indonesia. At least I hope so.



I think that is what they were saying. I read it as perhaps they also had a dream about California, after a dream prior to fires, and the wave.


There are people who are very sensitive to these type of events.

I have a bad feeling, as my wife and son are taking my grandkids to disnyland tomorrow. So I really hope all of this blows over, the thread dies, and we live happy ever after, for at least until they get home safe.



I would think as long as California is letting off steam it will be ok for a while. I hope they all have a great day.

I was taught that these smaller earthquakes could go on for months before a large one.

SO I GUESS NO ONE REMEMBERS HOW A FEW YEARS AGO, MAYBE 4, THERE WAS A GUY WHO HAD A DREAM/VISION OF THE "WHITE WOLF" AND LAKE ISABELLA AND A MASSIVE FRACKING EQ......?

WELL, WHITE WOLD IS THE NAME OF THE VERY FAULT THAT RUNS UP TO LAKE ISABELLA....

REMEMBER THIS GUY? IT WA RIGHT AROUND THE TIME PUPP STARTED HIS OWN FORUM AND THIS GUY POSTER THERE ALSO. THE GUY WIGHT HAVE HAD HIS OWN FORUM FOR A WHILE ALSO.

THE LAKE ISABELLA AREA WAS ROCKING BACK THEN, ALSO.......


(COMMENTS ABOUT ALL CAPS.....fuck off)



QUAKE ON THE COLORADO/NEW MEXICO BORDER IS IN A REGION THAT HAS RECENTLY BECOME ACTIVE AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW QUAKES THERE OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS, AND, YES, IT IS AN ANCIENT VOLCANO/FIELD.....

I had heard that too. Did you see the thread about the huge number of sea lions in San Francisco on the piers? I guess they knew something was up.

I had not heard anything about the Sea Lions. If all the animals start to go nuts, then we know it may be a threat.

Are earthquakes normal for Tennessee ?
