a lot of Seismic activity

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.

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.

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, that's incorrect.

The end.

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

Not exactly accurate numbers, especially since some of the weaker known eq's have been unaccounted for.

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.

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 😄

As for Eyjafjallajokull....... be a good name for a child🙂

We just had a tremor here literally 2mins ago 😖 First one I've ever felt, and I was just reading this thread about 2 hours ago, weird.

How awesome would it be if one of those super volcanos went off? Now that would be someone awesome to die to.

Heroine

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.

-...........Loads of waffle.........------

Because your a smart ass.

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?

...and we have just lost any ground we may have made on global warming.

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:

It seems to me that there has been a lot of Seismic activity in the past few months, numerous earthquakes of various magnitudes, volcanoes erupting including the latest one in Iceland which has caused various airports to cancel flights.

I was wondering if there is a reason for this, ie A planet or large object approaching from space pulling on the earth (Niburu🙂), 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.

Not quite a week ago but ash is slow moving. Better to be safe than sorry. You know the kind of shit people would give the airlines if a plane was taken down by it.

I see your too lazy or too ignorant to use google.

and I'll say once again: I wish the volcano had erupted one week earlier.
