Ziggy-Stardust (OP) User ID: 832032 Canada 04/07/2010 09:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now its official. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 841655Time to Panic! The fault system is moving at 0.2mm per year or less... since 1811 if that figure stayed constant... that would mean it's moved... 4cm. but my math may be wrong.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 936553lights being shut off? Is the fault bankrupt? fault being filled with concrete and sold off in parcels to highest bidders? we need facts Those weren't FEMA coffins, they were shipping packages. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 937300 Sweden 04/07/2010 09:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was taught in basic geology if the fault is not moving it is building a lot of potential energy.Eventually a fault like this experiences a much bigger "snap" than one that slips frequently. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57834True! Also the reason why EQs in this part of the country can be so strong is the diff in whats down under..... Hard,strong rock... Not sandstone crap.... If she ant movin,well that ant good..oh Snap! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57834That's the way I learned it years ago. The report mentioned large recent EQ's and I can't remember much since the 5.5 back in '68 which we all felt in western MO. Purdue may say they think it's shutting down, but I wouldn't bet on it. |

Purdue may say they think it's shutting down, but I wouldn't bet on it. I'm no geologist, but how would pressure or energy build if nothing is forcing it? Per se, if the fault is moving at 0.2mm to 0mm per year, where is the energy building up coming from? |

But just because there's so very little movement doesn't mean that pressure isn't building. To me it means movement is being blocked. And sooner or later that blockage will crumble. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 935503 United States 04/08/2010 02:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is not really that sort of fault. Its not a slider like the San Andreas. It is a failed rip that occurred when Gondwanaland was separating and has since filled in with silt and sediment. Some of the tension in the New Madrid is likely to be caused by the northern part of the continent rebounding from the weight of the ice of the last ice age. Yes, it is still doing that. |
