From the link you posted:

There were no immediate reports of injuries, deaths, or damages on the island nation.

OMG!!

Your ignoring the fact of a STRONG EARTHQUAKE! Sure there is no damage but it still reflects the rise in recent strong to intense earthquakes!

Example of another yet today!!

Strong Earthquake Rocks Central Japan

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/03/ ... ?tag=stack

While yes this is also included:

Magnitude 6.6 Quake Sways Buildings in Capital, No Immediate Reports of Damage or Casualties

Still means a magnitude 6.6 Quake has hit in a very small amount of time!

Japan just happens to have a better set of building codes vs many other locations such as Haiti. I really don't care what the historical data of over 1million years has shown, in the last several months there has been a major swing in strong quakes that have been enough to spark a news posting about it.

ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE!!!

Magnitude 4.4 earthquake rattles Southern California

A magnitude-4.4 earthquake rattled residents of southern California early Tuesday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

While still minor and occurs often in this region its still another on top of many that we have had here lately!

and yet, in the scheme of things, there's been no increase at all

Earthquakes happen every day on every continent. Having more sensors in place just means we're more aware of them, not that they didn't happen before.

AND YET AGAIN... in the over all look within the last 2 years alone! Lets look beyond the history of 2 million years, but look at the most recent 2 years!

A 5.6-magnitude earthquake shook Cuba on Saturday.

The quake struck at 1:08 p.m. (2:08 p.m. ET) 22 kilometers (14 miles) below the surface and was centered 44 km (27 miles) south-southwest of Guantanamo, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

You can not determine what is abnormal activity by only looking at the pass two years.

I can and I will... I'll look at these last 2 years against the 2 years before that, those first 2 years didn't have anything near the amount we have now nor the destruction they have caused. To be honest it sounds as if your not really wanting to add anything to this discussion beyond trying to troll responses as usual.

I said nothing even remotely trollish, Sava. And I'll post wherever I please.

The fact that you resort to personal attacks everything I post in this thread only proves to me that you have no actual rational arguments.

"I can and I will... "

Not if you want to have any valid or accurate understanding. Also, I highly doubt you are more qualified to analyze the data or the math then a bunch of scientist.

We're actually on a pace to have less earthquakes this year. If you look at the stats from the USGS website, of which this chart is from:

You'll see that these are the number of earthquakes as of today. Now, extrapolating the numbers for the rest of the year, you get the following totals:

Code: Select all

Magnitude.................total
8.0-9.9.......................1
7.0-7.9......................14
6.0-6.9.....................222
5.0-5.9....................2685
4.0-4.9....................6523
3.0-3.9....................1708
2.0-2.9....................2523
1.0-1.9......................32
0.1-0.9.......................0
No Magnitude.................28
Total # of quakes.........13736

I'm no mathematician, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that we'll have fewer quakes this year than we've had in the previous decade.

There have been more deaths so far this year, but that's entirely due to the fact that you had a massive earthquake hit a high density population area that was not equipped to deal with an earthquake, and not due to an upswing in the number of earthquakes (which there aren't).

Strong earthquake hits Baja California

A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck Baja California in northwestern Mexico on Sunday, shaking the ground at least as far away as Los Angeles, California, the U.S. Geological Survey and witnesses reported.

The quake struck at 3:40 p.m. PT and was centered about 175 kilometers (110 miles) east-southeast of Tijuana, according to the USGS.

Chandeliers swung and water sloshed around in swimming pools in the Los Angeles suburbs, witnesses reported, while posters to Twitter reported feeling the quake in Phoenix, Arizona.

That was a nice ride. I'm 15 miles south of LA. Long rolling ride. Definately not the ordinary quake.

DV · Post by DV » Sun Apr 04, 2010 7:27 pm

I'm in North County San Diego, about 50 miles north of the border. No damage here, but it shook pretty good and seemed to last quite a while. I don't think I've felt one this strong in so cal since the San Fran quake from 89. I imagine there may be some minor damage closer to the source, but hopefully nothing too bad. Lots of small aftershocks over the last 30 mins or so.

The notion that all of these incidents are related is beginning to pick up pace in the scientific communities.

With the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland, it looks like there are major tectonic shifts taking place.

Worst case scenario...Cumbre Vieja erupts and falls into the Atlantic this summer...the East Coast is blindsided at the peak of summer beach vacation season.

uhhh...mainstream news? It was all over CNN yesterday as they were reporting on the Indonesia quake.

Simply put...the quake activity is part of a cluster, which is part of a cycle, which can be viewed as a trend. As energy is built up along one tectonic plate and is released...it places stress on all the other plates. this is completely normal as we are sitting on crust which is floating on top of a molten core.

The recent eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland may be a warning of bigger things to come in the mid-atlantic region. Look closely at the fault lines of the mid-atlantic...

Stress is being released east and west of the mid-atlantic.

This Worst case scenario could play out something smaller or larger, I truly believe we are on the verge of something major in the near future and within my lifetime - 2012? who knows, but the recent amount of activity surely suggests something is going on over the norm.

We already know that earthquakes (along with volcanic activity) are related to each other.
