Earthquakes strike the Craton Edge — Plate pressure obvious

New post on Dutchsinse

5/22/2015 — West Coast, East Coast, Southern US Earthquakes strike the Craton Edge — Plate pressure obvious by Michael Janitch After issuing a forecast for the United States to begin showing major seismic movement, we now see the movement has begun. _________ A series of 4.0M+ earthquakes began to occur up the West coast of the United States over the past day (May 21-22) , multiple events in a short amount of time across California, Oregon, into Canada. The West coast movement has now been followed by movement along the edge of the craton extending across the United States (as we would expect - seismic pressure is transferring EAST across the plate edge). Since issuing the earthquake forecast, we have now seen a 5.4 magnitude earthquake strike South Nevada, and several smaller events strike the Southern, and Eastern portion of the craton across Alabama, South Carolina, and up the East coast in Maine. Watch the most current earthquake forecast for the United States here: _______ Information on the East coast events from the USGS here: M2.3 - 21km NW of Eutaw, Alabama http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/se60008213#scientific_origin:se_se60008213 Magnitude / uncertainty 2.3 md± 0.0 Location / uncertainty 32.947°N 88.075°W± 3.3 km Depth / uncertainty 8.0 km± 1.5 Origin Time 2015-05-21 22:25:47.420 UTC Number of Stations 8 Number of Phases 10 Minimum Distance 2.94 km (0.03°) Travel Time Residual 0.18 sec Azimuthal Gap 167° FE Region Alabama (505) _______ M1.7 - 3km NNW of Summerville, South Carolina http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/se60008208#general_summary Magnitude / uncertainty 1.7 md± 0.2 Location / uncertainty 33.047°N 80.188°W± 0.3 km Depth / uncertainty 5.9 km± 0.6 Origin Time 2015-05-22 05:02:48.700 UTC Number of Stations 9 Number of Phases 13 Minimum Distance 6.66 km (0.06°) Travel Time Residual 0.1 sec Azimuthal Gap 72° FE Region South Carolina (511) _______ M2.0 - 7km E of Peru, Maine http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us10002bb3#scientific_summary _______   Michael Janitch | May 22, 2015 at 5:40 pm | Tags: aardbeving, ज्वालामुखी, भूकंप, विस्फोट, Bulkan, de vulcão, earth, earthquake, Earthquakes, erdbeben, Erupção, erupce, eruzione, σεισμός, του, έκρηξη, ηφαιστείου, jordskælv, jordskjelv, l'éruption du volcan, lava, magma, quake, quakes, sopky, terremoto, tremblement de terre, volcanic, volcano, volcanoes, volcanos, vulcano, Vulkaan, vulkaanuitbarsting, Vulkanausbruch, vulkanudbruddet, zemětřesení, 地震火山噴火 | Categories: earthquakes and volcano activity, earthquakes and volcanoes | URL: http://wp.me/p3C2xU-3Yb Trouble clicking?
