Yeah I was thinking the same thing but at the sametime Earthquakes happen all the time and it's most likely just coincidence. But there has been a pretty big wave of natural disasters in the past decade hasn't there?

Clovie
could anyone give me a short summary on what is happening recently? with the volcanos.. and everything///
because our tv is mostly about sunday's ceremony.

This map gives you all the current events as far as natural and other disasters are concerned.

Check out the standard deviation information after reading that everything is normal.



It took me about 5 seconds to find that article (prolly closer to 6 seconds, actually.)

ddm is so cool and smart. lets all praise his greatness.

ive heard from a lot of people that the activity recently is actually pretty normal as well. but it does feel like its been very frequent lately! /0.0\

It's the evil American Empire doing further field testing with their quake-maker machine. Any day now, Iran will be crushed.

While that is true, finding an article that addresses the thread in a few seconds, is not cool or smart. Anyone can do that.

Are you sore from yesterday when you tried to change your argument in the brutality thread? Listen, people are wrong on the internets, sometimes. It happens. When you're wrong, admit it, move on. No reason to hold grudges all over the place.


Guess what? I've been wrong several times and I had to admit I was wrong. fear

I know, right? It happens.

Just a perception baseed on news coverage AND the locations of the quakes hitting populated areas rather than some random spot in the middle of an ocean.

Theres some stupid science on it or something...they call the BS "tectronics" or something.

Volcano in Iceland erupted today. No planes are taking off an landing in the UK and in other placed in Northern Europe due to ash. The one day in ages I was sue to fly... Talk about sod's law.

For the past few years, there has been an increase of earthquakes. In terms of MODERN times. This year alone has had at least one destructive earthquake a MONTH. I haven't heard anything like that. Again, just recorded time. This is fairly normal, though, as the earth has always been like a roller coster.

One theory for so much activity is that earth is orbiting around the ecliptic.

No, you're incorrect. They have. We are within one standard deviation of the 15 year average.

There is no discussion and this thread should be closed.

Well, adding the numbers out, not counting 2010:

2000-2009
6-6.9 1465
7-7.9 131
8-8.9 13

total: 1609

1990-1999
6-6.9 1339
7-7.9 147
8-8.9 6

total: 1492

1980-1989
6-6.9 980
7-7.9 101
8-8.9 4

1085

1085>1492>1609

BTW, this year had an insane amount of small quakes in Cali. USGE worker did claim that this year had an increase from previous years. I'll see if I can get a link or quote.

Wait until it really erupts. Last time it erupted or the lazy eruption of 1700's, it lasted for about 2 years. Which could be detrimental to Europe's economy as more flights will be grounded.

History has shown that once the Eyjafjallajokull erupts, Katla will follow. Usually days to months, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will happen this time. You better pray, because a sizable eruption could have global consequences.

That should make life interesting, will be good for the global warming all those flights being cancelled, erm wait all that ash in the sky might have a detrimental effective as well big grin

As for Eyjafjallajokull....... be a good name for a childsmile

We are talking about this year. How does this year shape up compared to others? Is it within 2 standard deviations of the previous 15? It's close. I've been running some numbers and putting them into an image file to post in here.

Here's the site I was using.

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/graphs.php


I have only put together about half of the numbers. I am running low on time. If you'd like to do a standard deviation for 6-6.9, 7-7.9, and 8-8.9, that'd save me a bunch of time.



But, from what I see, slightly more earthquakes, but nothing severe like is being suggested. In fact, the last 2-3 years have been less than the previous 10. Also, our ability to detect Earthquakes has definitely improved over the last 30 years. Our ability to sort the data into distinct events has improved as well. We haven't made much progress in that area since the 90s, though. We are pretty solid, now.

The idea of the thread was to discuss the recent seismic activity, not to post a bunch of statistics, which mean nothing.

okay. they've closed our airports.
why the stupid volcano didn't erupt a week ago?

I understand that you see my comments as abrasive or insulting. Cool. I've made threads before that were useless because I wasn't aware of some data before hand. It happens. There's no reason to believe that you're stupid, incompetent, or some other negative thing. That shouldn't come into play. You're fine. I'll continue to read your posts and not think any less of you.

More to the point, you said:

I was wondering if there is a reason for this, ie A planet or large object approaching from space pulling on the earth (Niburusmile), the HAARP or other devices like the LHC effecting the earth.

So I addressed it. Thread should be done, right?

And my comment about taking just 5-6 second to find that information wasn't intended to insult you, but illustrate how easy it is find information on what you wanted to discuss.

And, those "bunch of statistics, which mean nothing" apply directly to the thread topic, make this thread almost completely void from its point, AND should debunk some false conceptions others have.

That wasn't caused by the volcano. no expression

The volcano erupted yesterday/day before no expression

So don't call me lazy and ignorant.

I think clovie is saying that if flights were grounded last week it wouldn't have happened.

Still, no call for the insults, clovie.

Clovie
that's exactly what I have meant. no flights = no crashes.


and those weren't insults. just a personal observation. sorry.

Ushgarak
Calling someone stupid is an insult no matter how you frame it. Please don't be like that again.

Clovie
or what? you'll ban me? please... I've explained and said sorry. but nonetheless I'm still thinking what I'm thinking. and for sure not going to beg for forgiveness.

and those weren't insults. just a personal observation. sorry. no expression - Your entire point has to be one of the silliest I've ever heard... "If only a volcano erupted a week earlier to stop a plane crash from happening."... With that sort of logic you could say pretty much anything. "Oh if only Hitler had got struck by lightning"

Not an insult just a personal observation? I don't mind you insulting me but please don't try and be diplomatic about it.

Clovie
Hitler was to be aborted, but his mother has changed her mind.. if you wanna go that way..

and maybe I'm silly. but in case of the volcanic ash they would have taken another plane (smaller one) or train.

not to mention that this is Stalin's fault.. but I didn't want to go THAT far.

Shakyamunison
Clovie, can a person avoid their fate? ...but maybe that is a topic for another thread.

§P0oONY
But it's not like the volcano decided to erupt a week later. It is a random and rare event. It's pretty much like saying "I wish I'd picked those numbers" after the lottery results come up.

Clovie
One lady woke up in the middle of the night and decided not to take this flight. one guy was asked to give his place to someone else. and now he's alive and the other person is not.

So it was their fate not to die or have they avoided it?

In general I believe in fate. and that everything has a purpose and stuff.. but i don't like bad things happening.


@Spoony
Volcano has been waking up since march.. so why not a week earlier? I know that's insane. but this way I can blame it on the volcano for not erupting earlier.

Why not a week earlier? Simply becuase it didn't happen then and it was never going to happen then. You could replay history again and again and it would never erupt a week earler. Not due to fate or aynthing thing like that. The reason it would have never erupted a week earlier is due to the fact that we are on a timeline, which is pretty much lineear to all intensive purposes.

§P0oONY
To put it simply... you can't change the past so it's stupid to speculate.

Clovie
I don't want to change past. I wish it didn't happen the way it did. and I want to wake up and find out it all was just a horrible dream.

§P0oONY
Why wish something so obscure though!? Why not simply wish he hadn't of got on the plane... Not "I wish that the volcano erupted a week earlier",

Clovie
who he? there was almost 100 ppl. and I guess volcano doesn't care when it erupts, right?

Volcanoes don't care, ever.

You're upset because of the other people who died around your president as well? You might just not want to watch the news if people dying is going to get to you. I'd understand feeling bad if you lose a great leader but the people who you don't know around him? Why feel bad?

Symmetric Chaos
So anyhow, there isn't any more seismic activity this year, it's just happening in inconvenient places.

No, there's more.

Don't believe the numbers.

The reason I'm not counting this year (which has had more destructive eq's than previous) is because it's not over yet. Numbers do show that the M6-9 have increased in past decades. I never meant that this year had more earthquakes in general, just in the past few years. M6-9's. Like I said, it's normal.

The increase of active volcanoes has jumped as well.

Again, you're using the fact that the earthquake hit populated areas instead of unpopulated ones like the majority do. That shouldn't count worth anything.


Here's the facts: Earthquake frequency has gone down the last 3 years, with 2007 seeing more than normal. There have been previous years that saw many more 7+ magnitude earthquakes than the monthly average of this year.

And, I don't know about those volcanoes. I'll check on that and be right back.

I'm not using populated vs unpopulated. I'm using M6-9's. 5's and below are decreasing. While higher magnitues are increasing.
