[/quote] 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 [/quote] Earthquake Myths [b]Can small EQ's relieve stress to prevent large ones?[/b] 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. http://seismo.berkeley.edu/outreach/faq.html#smalleqs [/quote] 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. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL69uvYaQGQ[/youtube] Good video to study earthquake patterns leading up to a large event.
