Dumb? I guess if your opinion states so.

However, Omori's law describes how aftershocks tail off to a steady background rate as the reciprocal of time (that is, 10 years later aftershocks occur at 1/10 the rate).

So, it would be 1/200 the rate and New Madrid quakes are not build ups for a big EQ but instead after shocks of the last.

Love to you ! hf

Okay. New Madrid is a very interesting area considering the after shocks mess up the data acquired to predict future EQ's.

They are, however, after shocks and my previous post explains why.

Re: They're calling the New Madrid quakes after shocks from the 1811-12 quake
I would go further back saying the aftershocks including the 1811-12 are from the last shift

When the world wide quakes hits at the same time, then a new begining.

Just my opinion, I'm no scientist

Maybe this is a bit cheeky but I think all quakes are foreshocks AND aftershocks...I know it sounds stupid but think about it..

not so stupid. but remember, its the time between the events that connect them. the new madrid is a fault. it has quakes. its been a while since the last big one. calling current quakes aftershocks doesnt compute. this must be from some current model they are working from. most science isnt settled but geophysics certainly is not. just ask jim berkland.

Maybe they are calling them aftershocks because they don't want to panic everyone by telling us that they are foreshocks to a really big quake to come

But I agree with you, they're ridiculous, 200 year aftershocks? Then maybe EVERY earthquake is just an aftershock.

Maybe they're just 'downgrading' their previous reported statement. ????

I have a little trouble accepting the aftershock theory as well. Comes off as somewhat unreasonable.

Agreed! Seems odd that in 2008 they say they expect a 6-7 mag this year(2010) then 2009 they say they're aftershocks?! I just don't see how you go from saying one extreme to the other so fast

Its all about how quickly the fault moves. New Madrid fault moves very very slowly, which is why the aftershocks continue for so long.

Since you know more about EQ's than anyone else, you even know so much that you can predict them, I guess these scientists with qualifications in Geology and specialists in EQ's should stop now, not bother and bow down in your presence.
