The benefit under Darwinian evolution is somewhat clear (mothers do not persist in competition with adult offspring, etc etc.) But Darwinian evolution still draws a blank as to how an adaptation like this could ever propagate.

The scientists found that the disposal of water in four high-volume wells could be responsible for a swarm of tremors up to 35km away. [link to www.bbc.co.uk] Whenever I talk to my Oklahoma friends about our increasing numbers of earthquakes, I have to talk about EU as well. Quoting: ElecGeekMumI think that the injection wells contribute to the increasing numbers because those wells are being filled with brine, where there formerly was petroleum. I started tracking them in 2009. I downloaded a paper that said that petroleum is way less conductive than water (especially brine). So it seems to me that what we end up with is essentially a 3D integrated circuit in the ground. And whenever a plasmoid passes through and grounds out, we get an earthquake in that area. Since I concocted that hypothesis, I have been closely watching the earthquakes on various web sites. The one that has the greatest number of Oklahoma earthquakes is the Leonard Geophysical Observatory site. [link to www.okgeosurvey1.gov] I have seen quakes on that site where the magnitude is less than 1.0. Even though that site does place the quakes on a Google map, it's hard to tell which one in the list is the one on the map, so I have been copying the coordinates and placing them on my own Google map. I have been surprised to see many occurring near the LMNO2 radar installation northeast of Enid, in the middle of nowhere. Also, there have been quite a few between the Sooner Lake power generation facility and Ponca City. I was able to drill down in the satellite images and see high-tension lines there. So now I'm thinking that electro-smog adds to the timing and location of quakes here. Even though there is a significant known fault southwest of Oklahoma City, not many quakes show up there. Many are showing up north and northeast and east of Oklahoma City, perhaps at the edge of the metropolitan area's heaviest electro-smog? The northern part of the OKC metro area has many towers for various TV stations and radio stations. There is an air force base on the east side. There is a major NWS radar at what could be called the southeast corner of the metro. I'd like to know what's underground that makes Oklahoma (and especially central Oklahoma) such a hotbed for earthquakes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms. Sometimes they all even happen at the same time! Just throwing this out there. I hope it's not too OT. The picture that is emerging here is of a large number of closely interconnected phenomena, including earthquakes, tidal forces, space weather, etc. So none of it is OT Quoting: Charles ChandlerCrustal deformation due to tidal forces and tectonic pressures results in telluric currents. These currents follow the path of least resistance, and if the current density is sufficient, the currents graduate to plasma discharge channels, which can exert enormous pressures on the surrounding rock. This explains the catastrophic release of energy in earthquakes, and in volcanoes. As concerns volcanoes, fractured rock is a better conductor than solid rock. So once the pressure in the magma chamber becomes sufficient to fracture the overlying rock, telluric currents will follow those fractures, further weakening them. Magma is also a better conductor than solid rock. So the magma plume is like a submerged lightning rod that attracts electric currents to itself. Ohmic heating then keeps it molten -- otherwise it would cool and solidify -- it wouldn't burrow through several kilometers of solid rock. So a magma plume has its own heat source, which pumps the magma to the surface, sometimes in a steady stream, and sometimes in an explosive eruption. As concerns earthquakes in the OKC area, you might be onto something. On any flat surface (such as the Great Plains), anything that sticks up will concentrate the electric field onto itself, meaning that it becomes the footpoint for electric currents (i.e., like a lightning rod). The convergence of high power lines at a power station could be acting like a huge antenna, focusing the energy at that location. Selective ionization in the atmosphere (due to smog) can do the same thing. Then, the fracking provides the subterranean conduits for the telluric currents. So where are the quakes going to occur? Wherever you have the greatest combination of factors focusing the currents in that location. [link to www.thunderbolts.info] |
