Topography of the Kunlun Fault
New lava flow images at the USGS Kilauea Eruption Update page.
When the heck is Mauna Loa going to erupt again?
Does anybody know if the Kunlun fault system is part of the Indian micro-plate and Eurasian collision boundary? If I remember my structural geology (too many years ago) of the area, this was a continental-continental land mass collision. Some of the results was the exceptionally high Himalayan Mountain chain and the high elevation of the Tibetan Plateau. This was due to the isostatic "bouyancy" of the subducting continental crust (as compared to subducting, dense, oceanic crust).
Anyway, the 8.1 magnitude quake is very consistant with estimates for potential on segments of the San Andreas Fault, and with similar major strike-slip transform boundaries.
