Distant earthquakes -- even thousands of miles away -- have far more impact on California's San Andreas Fault than scientists previously realized, new research has found.
Large quakes like the magnitude 9.1 event in Sumatra that triggered tsunami waves across the Indian ocean in 2004 and the 8.8 quake in Chile last year caused parts of the San Andreas fault deep underground to suddenly slip, setting off small tremors, according to a study released Tuesday by seismologists with the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park.
There's still no evidence that large quakes in one part of the world can set off large quakes right away on different faults thousands of miles away, said David Shelly, a USGS scientist.
But learning how deep sections of the San Andreas can react when they are hit with seismic waves is all part of unlocking the mysteries of how earthquakes work -- a search that could one day help scientists predict quakes, he added.
"Big earthquakes are triggering an acceleration of the fault that can last for hours or days," Shelly said. "You are triggering something that lasts longer than the seismic waves that are coming through. Over time, that can increase the stress on neighboring patches on the fault, which can generate tremors."

Well I’m sure y’all can find some other excuse to continue claiming the end is near after this one fails.
After all, it’s worked before .... time and time again.
Dutchsinse could have told them this!
Well, I’m sure y’all can find some other excuse to continue claiming that everything is and will continue to go on in the world as it always has
. . . though even many drunken idiots seem to know that’s far from true already . . . in these preliminary stages of the END TIMES dramas.
Somehow I’m tired or just not tracking your connection. Would you be willing to elaborate?
I suppose those drunken idiots will buy into your END TIME dramas easily enough.
Dutchsinse tracks the haarp rings and predicts the ensuing tornados/storms (I know you know that) and he also tracks earthquakes and talks about the the movement of plates in reaction to one another.
If you have not seen his current event presentations on earthquakes, it may be worth you time to view the latest ones when he makes them. Go to the Dutchsinse channel on youtube and you will see a list of daily videos he makes on weather and/or earthquake activity.
I recognized his name.
I have watched some of his videos.
I just didn’t remember that he was the one responsible for THOSE videos.
Sigh.
Maybe I need more coconut oil in my diet?
I think he does a credible job. He may be a bit . . . overexcited about some of his conclusions and conjectures and even some of his ‘evidence.’ However, I’m glad he does the work. Someone needs to look at things that much out of the conventional box.
Thanks for posting and for your kind replies.
Perhaps . . . if they are REALLY smart and not too drunk.
