The main quake was 8.0. There was a 6.4 aftershock ten minutes later and about ten minutes after that a 5.6 aftershock. Wow.

Yeah, and volcanoes are caused by global warming too. All 300 billion years of ‘em.

Unless there is a tsunami, I imagine the biggest hassle here is that the ocean floor will be rewritten again, and until it is remapped, things are going to be tricky for the unterseebooters.

After that big one last time, and because of outdated charts, we really got the front end of one of ours bashed in. The USS San Francisco. Its Captain is now farming turkeys.

On a macro scale, I believe they are. I think, increases in the earth's temperature (which, occur naturally) probably trigger increases in plate movement, and thus... Earthquakes and volcanoes..

I think, volcanoes are a PART of the earth's temperature regulating system.

Just a theory... I'd love to see some data that attempted to correlate temperature with seismic activity.

What if the 8.0 is a fore shock?

The San Francisco collision had absolutely nothing to do with any seafloor change caused by a recent earthquake.

No Pacific Wide Tsunami; looks like this was basically a non-event except on the small island closest to the epicenter.

That was the pointy end of a very expensive submarine.

Included in the damage was the Captain's career. You can see it smeared on that last bulkhead.
