Inland, probably no tsunami.
Prayers for the good people of Chile.
Well, if I followed the arguments from the wizards at the EPA, they must be fracking.
Running through my head: “I fell in to a burning ring of fire...”
The ring has been heating up this past month.
Watch out California.
sure are “earthquakes in divers places” of late.
The year is 2012.
I’ve been reading some chat from other forums that the seismologists are getting concerned about the Cascadia subduction plates.....Pacific northwest. That and the New Madrid fault are the ones that really worry me........and then, there’s the Yellowstone caldera.
There’s been a perfectly normal number of large (M 7.0+) earthquakes so far this year.
Funny how nobody was posting in February when there wasn’t much EQ activity “Hey, there’s no large earthquakes.”
I don't qualify by magnitude, however.
Are the Obama kds in Chile?
exactly my thoughts. Living in Los Angeles makes me very aware of the ring of fire.
“Funny how nobody was posting in February when there wasn’t much EQ activity...
It was quiet, too quiet:)
I agree.
A quake makes the news, and we react as if this doesn’t happen very often.
There are literally hundreds of earthquakes a day, round the world.
EQ activity has not increased, on average, for a very, very long time.
The internet has made it so that we can get news from around the world, and we are more ‘aware’ of Earthquakes that used to be known only locally.
You are correct.
4.6 earlier today in Costa Rica.
This may be a safe assumption, however it by no means precludes the possibility of increased earthquake activity.
Do you have evidence for that?
