Well I've never heard of one that can predict a earthquake..but they all say "The Big One" will hit Cali at some point in the near future....not if but when!

There are so many others that will give way and build intense pressure when that happens that you will see a planet wide amount of destruction not to mention a tsunami wave much like shown in the 2012 movie.

Its coming.. maybe not in our lifetime but its coming.

Seismologist Roger Musson: Haiti Quake Was the 'Big One'
People talk about waiting for the Big One in California. Was this a similar earthquake for this fault?
This was the Big One. The fault has been more or less locked for 200 years. Seismologists were unsure as to whether it would produce one Big One or several smaller ones. We seem to have the answer.

ALL that I've heard talking about Earthquakes then.... this is mainstream news outlets too,journals, history channel discussions etc... I'm convinced. Don't forget that when I say "The Big One" I'm talking about the one that will shake the hell out of California and push it into the ocean! :)

Your trolling again... and I didn't contradict myself, I said I've never heard of one that can predict a earthquake - that means OHH HERE IT COMES IN 5Mins 43seconds!!!! :rolleyes:

I also said I've heard em all (those that I've seen on mainstream news and so on) say that "The Big One" will hit cali at some point in the near future...not if but when!

See..you didn't obviously understand and your obviously trolling with nothing to add to this thread.

"those that I've seen on mainstream news and so on "

And if it is on the news then it must be true, right?


Could you provide us with the source of your information? What news outlets say the Big One is going to happen and on what information do they base this prediction?

So you have not done any actual studying on it? Just whatever you have gathered from the news.

I suppose the best thing would be a trip to the library. But this really just seems be the typical overreacting masses again and I don't feel threatened enough to care yet. Although, I would not mind learning something about seismology.

But, Sava, you really should provide links that back up your claims. Not "O I saw it on this news channel, at some time that I am not sure of." Such a wishy washy post will make people think you're full of it.

One more thing, you can take your childish troll/derailing comments and chew on it. I mean really, grow up for the love of Zeus.

I generally stay quiet when you go on about your doomsday scenarios, quite humorous to read really, but this rubbish about California being pushed or falling into the ocean is just laughable.

As a California resident it's a bit of a disturbing statement, given the smiley following it.

5.9 according to new reports.. and to think just in the last year alone I've heard of more large earthquakes than in the last 20years!!! Something is going on... something big!! :eek: :eek:
The Kandilli seismology center said the 6.0-magnitude quake hit at 4:32 a.m. near the village of Basyurt in a remote, sparsely populated area of Elazig province. The region is 340 miles east of Ankara, the capital.

The U.S. Geological Survey listed the quake at 5.9 magnitude.

I too use fictional movies to make sweeping predictions about the plate tectonics. Dante's Inferno is quite the treastie on mantle dynamics as well.

I'm sure if you know something they don't they'd be glad to hear it, otherwise you're just tooting your own horn :)

The article flat out explains why it seems like there's more earthquake activity even though there isn't.

Nothing personal, just that you're wrong and the article points out why.
It's not my logic, it's the USGS's.

In my eyes, their opinion holds more value than yours. MUCH more.

All I can guess is that you won't read the article because you'll see you're wrong and, heaven forbid, that can't happen. You invested too many pages of OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING to admit being mistaken.

The earth is not flat Sava, regardless of if you read the memo or not.

Do you believe in God? Did you read it in a article? Are your beliefs strong enough on something such as God that you don't need to read a article or memo? Your saying I can't believe in something just cause I did or didn't read something.

:D
Sorry, this isn't about something as abstract as religion or spirituality. Bad comparison.

You can believe whatever you want :thumb:
I'm just pointing out that in this case you're believing in something that's wrong. Maybe there WILL be increased activity in the future, your belief in that may be fully correct.

Your statement that there is increased activity however, has been disproven, in numbers and graphs.

What gets me is your refusal to look at an article that states, in simple terms that a third grader could grasp, why you're wrong.

News stories about current earthquakes around the world don't prove there's been an increase.

naw I think the USGS does a good thing and posts real and accurate data, but I've gone and looked at the data, and based on the last few years we have seen a upswing in large earthquakes vs other "few years" here and there in a 20year spread. But its all good, I understand how you feel about it not being that big of a deal, we can all contend with it in our own ways :)

Can you post any links to the data that supports your findings, the way I've posted information that supports my opinion?

and you already used the response:

[CENTER]Three strong earthquakes strike Chile in quick succession[/CENTER]
Three strong earthquakes rocked Chile on Thursday, causing significant damage in at least one city, the country's newly inaugurated president said Thursday.

A 6.9-magnitude earthquake hit at 11:39 a.m. local time (9:39 a.m. ET), followed by a 6.7-magnitude quake 16 minutes later, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. A third, measured at magnitude 6.0, came 27 minutes later.

Well, wait.....if we have to rely on the short amount of time that earthquakes have been even recorded, that's like less than 1% of the age of the Earth. Truth is, we just don't know if they are increasing or not. The dinosaurs would know but they're gone. (just injecting a little humor) .... I know, I know, very little. :)
