2008/02/27 UTC-UPDATE BAJA & WORLD EQs-THERE IS NO END TO IT-GET READY S. CALIFORNIA-CERRO PRIETO VOLCANO ACTIVITY-LOOKS IT WILL EXPLODE

last night i had a dream.. there was a volcano.. it was schedule to release at 3 3 0. pple waited.. traffic was jammed..

Someone flushed the toilet and Southern California is circling the drain.

More and more earthquakes!Lppk at the USGS maps for the US! This is unprecidented in recent times!

Question about Tidal Forces

Are there any studies or websites that would have the position of the Moon over the Earth compared to times and locations of quakes??

Would be neat to see if the quakes follow the tides of the oceans..

I guess the questions is, are there more quakes during high tides??

Thanks Jarha.

Just a question, from someone who 'isn't' savy on all this earthquake activity, are squarms an indication of something 'brewing' that will ultimately 'kabang' within a day or so, week or so, etc? Is this the pre warning of something 'building up'?

Or is it due to weather???

Seens as its winter there, we are in Oz by the way, I was thinking, 'well it can't be from heat'...so is the 'cold' making the contractions?

Sorry to sound so ignorant, but I am when it comes to this.

I'm mainly asking as I get '????' hard to explain, but just before world disasters, I'm very restless..and I get 'strong' intuitive prompts of 'its just about to happen' or dreams etc.

By reading that news articles, I was sensing that some are saying 'oh its fine, swarms happen, nothing to worry about, they'll soon pass' etc.

AS YOU SEE THERE IS 16 EQs 2.5+ MAG. JUST TODAY

YESTERDAY IT WAS 57 EQs 2.5+ MAG

02/11/2008 IT WAS 26 EQs 2.5+ MAG

02/10/2008 IT WAS 18 EQs 2.5+ MAG

AND 02/09/2007 WHEN IT STARTED IT WAS 31 EQs 2.5+ MAG

IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE SLOWING DOWN

THERE IS PROBLEM SOME 30 KM UNDERGROUND

MOST LIKELY VOLCANIC ACTIVITY

PROBLEM: IT IS TO CLOSE TO THE START OF SAN ANDREAS FAULT

AND 2 FAULTS WHICH ARE NOT RELEASING PREASSURE:

SAN JACINTO FAULT ZONE = VERY SMALL ACTIVITY

ELSINORE FAULT ZONE = ZERO ACTIVITY

SEE MAP
[link to quake.wr.usgs.gov]

AS YOU SEE ALL THREE FAULTS ARE VERY CLOSE TO AREA OF EQs

IT LOOK LIKE LONG TIME AGO 2 OF THOSE FAULTS

WERE CREATED BY CERRO PRIETO VOLCANO

I THINK WE CAN EXPECT SOMETHING MUCH

BIGGER COMING FROM IT VERY SOON

BUT THAT'S MY SPECULATION

CERRO PRIETO VOLCANO

Although no reports have been found that these mud volcanoes became active as a result of any pre-1900 earthquake, the mud volcanoes located a few miles southeast of Cerro Prieto were quite active following major earth-quakes in 1852, 1891 and 1892.

...

"They came to some sand banks of hot ashes which it was impossible to cross without being drowned as in the sea. The ground they were standing on trembled like a sheet of paper, so that it seemed as if there were lakes underneath them.
[link to www.sandiegohistory.org]

It was like 1940 that the last 7.0 happened in the general Mexicali area. Max expected in the area is about a 7.4, I believe. The area of effect does depend upon the magnitude and the local subsurface... ex: the 7.9 in Santa Cruz in 1989 was felt (hrmm.. was that an earthquake?) as far north as Eureka some 300 miles away, strongly shook (hard to stand up) Santa Rosa some 200 miles north, and tore down a bridge in Oakland and a ball park in SF some 100 miles north (ballpark miles). The bridge and ball park were on bay mud (old river and lakebeds are similar, but not as bad) which tends to increase the shaking effect dramatically. While buildings and homes close by, but on bedrock were "shaken but not stirred". So, for an expected (supposedly overdue) 7.0, decrease the area some 20%ish, and expect reduced but similar results.



BUT THAT'S MY SPECULATION


Thanks, been at work over here.

Just read this now...so the 'we can expect something much bigger coming 'soon'.., again, speaking provacatively, how large an area/people numbers etc. would this affect?

I wonder if water is effecting it ?

AS YOU SEE MOST OF EQs ARE NORTH FROM VOLCANO

AND IT LOOKS THEY ARE GOING MORE NORTH

"how large an area/people"

LA AREA IS IN BIGGER DANGER THEN EVER BEFORE

Yep... MOST energy from EQ's along the California faults tend north and west, AKA stronger effects in those directions than south and east.

LA is always is danger, but more from drive-by's than a large EQ as far south of it as the Guadalupe Victoria area. It WILL be affected, I agree. There are plenty of areas that are at risk. They've done a lot of retrofitting that this will be a big test to see if the retrofitting recommended/required will be good enough (not to save the buildings but to save the lives). Same for San Diego, but worse, since they are closer to the epicenter... If it's a major volcanic eruption, San Diego COULD be in for some nasty fall-out.

The cities and towns closest to the epicenter in Mexico I'm more scared for. They don't have the same requirements, and I'm expecting the see a MAJOR disaster happen there.

How so? Meaning does water in the subsurface cause an earthquake??? yes and no... water in the subsurface helps the faulting activity to some degree, but more as a friction reducer. If you're thinking hours/days after a rain storm that it would have a serious effect, no true. Most of the epicenters are many (10-30) KM subsurface. It takes a LOT more time for water to reach these areas/zones. If you mean does the removal of subsurface water (removal by the hydro plant) have an effect upon the surface and can cause movement in local regions that appears seismic, yes. It's can be viewed as a sudden subsidence, or hole caving in. It only needs to be fractions of an inch, but it can happen suddenly, to appear seismic. Normally, it happens slowly, as the water is removed. Northern part of San Jose is a perfect example of this.

Nope... I'm figuring that this is more like Mt St Helens in 1980... weeks of minor (yes, a 5.0 is only a moderate EQ, and MOST of the activity is less than 3.0, so minor, and unfelt) activity leading up to a large kaboom... it didn't drop Oregon into the ocean, but did level the surface area for many miles around. Mexico has many of these examples also, as well as Pompei, and other parts of Italy, Hawaii, etc. Volcanoes that are considered active do upon occasion release gases, magma and other debris, sometimes violently, sometimes like Mona Loa and Moan Kea, mostly slow and leisurely.

WELL WE WILL SEE, I AM GOING TO SLEEP

BTW, I AM LIVING SOME 200 MILES FROM IT

Here's the story.
New Ocean forms in Ethiopia

[link to news.bbc.co.uk]

Since, sea levels are raising and planet is expanding slowly.
can it happen in California/Mexico too ?

This image, before the crack opened. Looks like cerro prieto of today.
