this is a cool theory, from the comments of the video I just posted

Hey Diamond what's your take on the multpile coast lines receding around the globe? Mrmb333 does a good job of documenting this in his videos. It has happened off the Florida coast from the hurricanes supposedly and off of the South American coast. I've never heard of wind causing a ocean to recede. WTF is going on? I sure am no expert but could a celestial body other than the moon be affecting the tides?

It's called Lithospheric Flexure (also called regional isostasy) and it is the process by which the lithosphere (rigid outer layer of the Earth) bends under the action of forces such as the weight of a growing orogen or changes in ice thickness related to (de)glaciations.


In this case the weight of a growing orogen. Which is and active plate boundary building pressure and causing flexure on both sides of the craton. Enourmous amount of pressure = enourmous earquakes.

But what is causing the enormous pressure? I'm sorry but I have no formal education in these fields so I'm still trying to wrap my head around this and understand the terminology. Are you saying that the pressure on the lithosphere is somehow causing the water to recede?

In the case of storm surge and the "temporary" draining of large shallow coastal areas, it's simply the massive size and pressure associated with the storm system. Picture a giant funnel sucking up all the water as it swirls. This action displaces hundreds of cubic miles of water into a storm bulge at the center of circulation. As the storm passes shallow marine coastal areas, if the position is right, the water will be drained away and into the center of the cyclonic bulge.

In the case of South America, however, the scenario is crustal in nature. The west coast is experiencing increased pressure from the pacific plate causing flexure on the eastern margin of the craton or continent (east coast of South America).

Oh, I wasn't sure on the previous page, but since you asked again I had to find out. : )

All is good over here

Philippines has been active with decent sized quakes all day. WTF!

I can't find my Fall decorations dammit lol! I probably threw them out last year because they were all wet. Scarecrows and such. I'll have to see if I can find some new inexpensive decorations somewhere.

What a let down.

On the other hand, the day drinking is going fabulous!

It just dawned on me that I have been getting quite a few alerts for Brazil earthquakes that haven't showed up at all on EMSC or USGS.

2 hours ago there was a 2.5 in Iceland (Bardarbunga)

Strange holding pattern , North Korea , Maria and EQ

No, was under the umbrella along side the pool. Wanted to be near the arbor vitaes for some reason. Made it til 4, then it got too hot. Watching The Keepers on Netflix now.

Perfect! I usually just do mums but I saw a witch on a broom that you can strap to a tree so I'm ordering it. There's a telephone pool out front I'm going to use. She looks like she smashed into the pole.
