- Slight fluctuations will release mammoth amounts of underground energy
- Next year we could have at least 20 serious earthquakes, scientists warn
- The most intense ones are expected to occur in tropical regions
Swarms of devastating earthquakes are set to arrive next year due to the slowing of Earth's rotation, scientists claim.
Experts warn we 'had it easy this year' with just six severe earthquakes.
Next year we could have at least 20 serious earthquakes, and the most intense ones are expected to occur in tropical regions, home to around one billion people.
Tiny changes in the speed of our planet's rotation will trigger huge seismic activity by releasing vast amounts of underground energy, experts claim - although their research has been rejected by some scientists.
The planet's rotation is slowing down because of tidal forces between Earth and the moon.
The side of Earth closest to the moon feels its pull the strongest, while the side farthest from the moon feels its gravity less.
That difference in gravitational pull stretches the Earth, which causes tidal bulges.
These bulges pull the moon closer or farther away from Earth by around 4cm per year.
The moon exerts the opposite force on them, pulling them back toward it, creating friction and slowing down the planet's rotation.
The time the Earth takes to make a complete rotation on its axis varies by about a millionth of a second per day.
While the rotational rate hasn't declined evenly, the average day has grown longer by between 15 millionths and 25 millionths of a second every year.

They think the earth quakes are bad. Wait until people start flying off!!!!!
I think that is what we are having now. This is more like:
ISA24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
God. KING JAMES BIBLE TOUCH - KJV (Kindle Locations 28510-28512). Kindle Edition.
Bzzzzzt. Wrong. The Earth's tectonic plates rest on the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is a highly viscous, mechanically weak and ductilely deforming region of the upper mantle of the Earth. It lies below the lithosphere and it is composed of the crust and the portion of the upper mantle at depths between approximately 50 to 120 miles below the surface.
The outer core's outer boundary lies about 1,800 miles beneath Earth's surface.
If you're using NTPD, you can add a leap seconds file to your configuration.
Download the leap-seconds.list file from http://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list. Copy the leap seconds file onto your system running ntpd and add a line to your ntp.conf:
leapfile "/path/to your/leap-file"
You need to restart ntpd to apply your configuration changes.
To keep the file up to date, I'd recommend a cron job that executes on Jun 1, and Dec 1 that will get the file from the above and update the appropriate location.
Yeah, I'm a nerd.
No, I don’t think so. There are high tides on both the side facing and facing away from the moon. The moon’s gravity is causing both. If the sun and the moon are aligned (spring tides) the tides are higher. If the sun and moon are 90º from each other, the high tides will be lower. Tides are higher during the full moon when the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the earth.
I don’t remember the math involved, it was a long time ago in freshman Astronomy 1 but in fact it’s the moon’s gravity that causes the tidal budge on both sides of the earth. The idea that the earth’s rotation is slowing because of tides is not a new one, but the idea that the moons pull on the earth is just on one side is wrong.
I’d believe a EMP attack before I’d believe this garbage.
Knowing that He has told us how it will end, I have trouble with supposed Christians who jump on the "If we don't save the Earth, we're all gonna die" bandwagon...that's why it is unseemly for any religious leaders to talk about globull warming and other such things.
“This year” “next year”
Sorry, but it doesn’t go by years. The human year is just an arbitrary point in the Earth’s journey around the Sun. The Earth doesn’t give a cow fart about the human year.
obviously man is to blame, but if we pour trillions of dollars into it we can make the world spin faster again
Sign the Paris Spin treaty today before it’s too late
Clue the goebbels pic
Or chicken little
OK...Just as long as the swishy meter doesn't have to be reversed...
YOU??!? WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!
It’s all those dang wind generators, that’s what. I knew they were trouble.
That is because this is caused by climate change.
With the slowing of the earth’s rotation, days will be longer and we won’t age as fast. If it speeded up we’d probably all fly off......
These bulges pull the moon closer or farther away from Earth by around 4cm per year.
OMG! We’re all agonna die!
Yes, yes we are.
Stop Lunar bulging NOW!
