...Quack or Golden Rod? Inquiring minds ponder
______________________________________________________________________________
The quake measured 5.5 that’s nearly the same as the others. I’m inclined to believe that the Rods of God have been deployed for some time with no-one being the wiser. These would eliminate targets with an unconditional impunity/deniability. I can hear Q saying “No coincidences.”
Lots of @5.5 quacks @10km depth. Here is why they say 10km. In other words, they don’t know the depth so they tag it as 10km.
Why do so many earthquakes occur at a depth of 10km?
10 km is a “fixed depth”. Sometimes data are too poor to compute a reliable depth for an earthquake. In such a case, the depth is assigned to be 10 km. In many areas around the world, reliable depths tend to average 10 km or close to it. For example, if we made a histogram of the reliable depths in such an area, we’d expect to see a peak around 10 km. Thus, if we don’t know the depth, 10 km is a reasonable guess. We used to use 33 km. Increased understanding indicates that 10 km is more likely.
