Yes, it really is very interesting.
Living on the West Coast of the USA, it's also somewhat reassuring to read of the hundreds of quakes which occur every single day all year long, every year all over the world.

aye... I'm not up to date on all my Tesla material, but wouldn't that, theorectically, still apply?
That is, even if a tectonic plate is not requried, it can be used as a catalyst?
To: bahblahbah
I don't think so, but it's an interesting theory.

Most big quakes occur +/- 1 day from an old or new moon.
Wrong. The pattern of big quakes is essentially random. It's easily calculable and not like it never occured to anyone to check.

USGS picture demonstrates the size of the fault patch of the December 2004 catastrophic Sumatra 9.0 quake by comparing it to the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Comparable Rupture Area
(Comparison of size of fault patch in:) Magnitude 9.0 OFF W COAST OF NORTHERN SUMATRA Sunday, December 26, 2004 at 00:58:49 UTC
This is only a comparison graph used in
demonstrating the relative size of the December 2004 9.0 Sumatra quake.
"When an earthquake occurs, it ruptures a patch along a fault. Generally speaking, the larger the earthquake magnitude, the larger the rupture patch.
Initial estimates, based on the distribution of aftershocks, suggest that the magnitude 9.0 Sumatra-Andaman Islands Earthquake ruptured a fault patch roughly the size of the entire Cascadia Subduction Zone (see map above) that extends under northern California, Oregon, Washington, and southern British Colombia.
Initial modeling of the seismic waves suggests that most of the slip occurred in the southern 400 kilometers of the fault rupture. For comparison, a magnitude 5 earthquake would rupture a patch roughly the size of New York City's Central Park."

I think I would be interested in seeing a map over of drilling projects in Iran and thier associated depth just to compare and contrast with this map.
To: bd476
It was the American and Israeli infidels who were detonating an underground nuclear test.
Or, the infidels in Iraq knew the earthquake was comming and didn't warn us about it because they wanted Muslims to die.

Considering recent news headlines, it sure is interesting timing.

What are you talking about not getting your
joke?
I always say
"Righhhhhhhhht" when I feel the urge to double over in convulsive fits of laughter.
Don't quit your day job, Gallagher.

ok it wasnt a joke, merely "illustrating absurdity" as Rush would say.
To: Hank Rearden
My thoughts exactly, a nuke attack.
However, when that day comes we will all have reason to both celebrate and relax.
To: bd476
yeah.....seems like a great place for a nuke facility
