Description

RED SEISMIC BEACON Bryce Booleans Art An earthquake (also known as a tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a seismograph. The moment magnitude (or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude) of an earthquake is conventionally reported, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacing the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami. The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity. In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event — whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans — that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments. An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter refers to the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter. Earthquakes Worldwide in the Last 30 Days = 307 2010 January 03 22:36:30 UTC Magnitude 7.2 - SOLOMON ISLANDS The Solomon Islands earthquake of January 3, 2010, likely occurred at the boundary between the Pacific and Australian plates, where the Australian plate subducts beneath the Pacific towards the northeast at a rate of approximately 95 mm/yr. The mechanism of the January 3rd earthquake is consistent with its occurrence in relation to underthrusting of the Australia plate beneath the Pacific plate, as part of this subduction process. 2009 November 17 15:30:46 UTC Magnitude 6.6 - QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION A magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck in the Queen Charlotte Islands region off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, on Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. local time (1530 GMT). The quake was centered 250 km (155 miles) southwest of Prince Rupert, BC Plate Tectonics INFORMATION LIVE SEISMIC MONITOR Thanks Magik

Earthquakes to Californians are like others with snow storms we wait and then it's gone lol Hope I never have to go through one that won't leave sometimes i wil beon here and feel one,my chair will move and after all the years I just say to myself ..og shoot another one today:: Great render ..and no I didn't see cher:

Un tremblement de terre (également connu sous le nom d'un tremblement ou secousse) est le résultat d'une libération soudaine d'énergie dans la croûte terrestre qui crée des ondes sismiques. Les séismes sont enregistrés avec un sismographe, aussi connu comme un sismographe. La magnitude de moment (ou le rapport et pour la plupart obsolètes grandeur de Richter) d'un séisme est classiquement rapportés, de magnitude 3 ou moins les tremblements de terre étant imperceptibles pour la plupart et de magnitude 7 causant de sérieux dommages sur de vastes zones. Intensité de la secousse est mesurée sur l'échelle modifiée de Mercalli. À la surface de la Terre, les séismes se manifestent par des tremblements et parfois le déplacement au sol. Quand un séisme de grande magnitude épicentre est situé en mer, les fonds marins souffre parfois de déplacement suffisante pour provoquer un tsunami. Les secousses des tremblements de terre peuvent aussi déclencher des glissements de terrain et parfois l'activité volcanique. Dans son sens le plus générique, le séisme de mot est utilisé pour décrire tout événement sismique - qu'il s'agisse d'un phénomène naturel ou d'un événement provoqué par l'homme - qui génère des ondes sismiques. Les séismes sont principalement causées par la rupture des failles géologiques, mais aussi par des activités volcaniques, glissements de terrain, l'explosion des mines, et les expériences nucléaires. Un tremblement de terre le point de rupture initiale est appelée sa mise au point ou l'hypocentre. L'épicentre terme se réfère au point au niveau du sol au-dessus du hypocentre. Les tremblements de terre dans le monde au cours des 30 derniers jours = 307 2010 Janvier 03 22:36:30 UTC Magnitude 7.2 - ÎLES SALOMON Le tremblement de terre Îles Salomon, du 3 Janvier 2010, est survenu à la frontière entre les plaques Pacifique et Australie, subduit où la plaque australienne sous la Pacifique vers le nord-est à une vitesse d'environ 95 mm / an. Le mécanisme de la 3e Janvier tremblement de terre est conforme à sa présence par rapport à subduite de la plaque de l'Australie sous la plaque Pacifique, dans le cadre de ce processus de subduction. 2009 Novembre 17 15:30:46 UTC Magnitude 6.6 - Queen Charlotte Islands RÉGION Un séisme de magnitude 6,6 a frappé dans la région de Queen Charlotte Islands au large des côtes de la Colombie-Britannique, Canada, le mardi à 7h30 heure locale (15h30 GMT). Le tremblement a été centré sur 250 km (155 miles) au sud-ouest de Prince Rupert, BC La tectonique des plaques INFORMATION LIVE de surveillance sismique Merci Magik

I was talking to a worker friend of mine who lives in California. They just experienced a 4.1 earthquake today with lots of aftershocks. Great picture. Full of color. Great reflections.
