Anonymous Coward User ID: 1257580 United States 03/11/2011 02:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Big subduction event. Four plates come together in that area, diving underneath the N.A. plate - hence all the quakes. Displace the viscous magma underneath and it has to go somewhere, not surprising a couple of volcanos are venting... |

Jane Smith Forum Administrator User ID: 1215902 United States 03/11/2011 02:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hear that on Fox too. Has anyone heard any estimate of how deep the rip is? That could displace an enormous amount of water if the rip goes as deep as the quake itself.

Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. -Bill Hicks |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1284560 United States 03/11/2011 03:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It didn't rip a hole in the crust, it displaced, or moved, that plate. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 860229Bingo.... Its the GLP effect that turns: David Applegate, a senior science adviser for earthquake and geologic hazards for the U.S. Geological Survey, said the 8.9-magnitude quake ruptured a patch of the earth's crust 150 miles long and 50 miles across. into: David Applegate, a senior science adviser for earthquake and geologic hazards for the U.S. Geological Survey, said the 8.9-magnitude quake tore a hole in the earth's crust 150 miles long and 50 miles across. Which one sounds more dramatic? |
