Altering Earthquakes:

ZetaTalk Aug 7, 2010

As of late, I have observed that USGS and EMSC are a bit lax on their reports of earthquakes. Sometimes not seeing anything reported for hours from the last update, or seeing periods of 90-200 minutes with no earthquakes in between. My question is, are they leaving swarms of earthquakes out of their reports, or there are actually periods of no earthquakes?

SOZT:   Greater than 90% of the earthquake activity is being altered by the USGS at present, which is under orders to prevent any clue being given to the public about the Earth changes caused by the presence of Planet X. Over a decade ago, the approach was to de-sensitize the live seismographs periodically, so the displays do not turn black worldwide, and to ignore the twice-a-day patterns showing up on these seismographs. Then any quakes that could be dropped were dropped. This was obvious to some who were watching the database manipulation. Quakes in the list would suddenly disappear. This was particularly the case where a quake happened in a remote location, or out in the ocean. Dumbing down the magnitude quickly followed, but in order to ensure the public did not notice, the USGS took control of all websites reporting quake statistics. At times, this control breaks, and discrepancies are reported to the public. Some countries rebel. Quake swarms are another source of control, as they pepper the databases with many quakes and skew the statistics, and thus are pulled from the database. Else the question is raised, why so many?   EOZT


ZetaTalk Jun 18, 2011

Will the USGS internet system be a reliable warning system for the European tsunami by registering on the net the New Madrid earthquake on the exact time it occurs?

SOZT:   It will not be a lack of information from the USGS that will be the point of confusion during the earthquakes leading up to the New Madrid adjustment, it will be knowing which quake is the big one vs the many minor quakes preceding it. The USGS downgrades almost all earthquakes, to prevent meaningful statistics from being generated from their databases. They also exclude quakes whenever they can, but this is unlikely to happen in the New Madrid area as it is in the center of a populated land mass. Thus you will have magnitude 6 quakes that will be called a 5.2, magnitude 7 quakes called a 6.1, and when a magnitude 8 or greater quake occurs, it will be called a 6.9.

We would advise that rather than watching the USGS quake statistics, that you watch the Earth changes. The adjustment that will incite the European tsunami will involve bridges on the Mississippi breaking, and being impassable. The land to the west of the Mississippi will drop so that the Mississippi will become 50 miles wide in the state of Mississippi. Watch for this. The New Madrid adjustment will be several large quakes of magnitude 8-9, though will be listed as a lesser magnitude. As the N American continent continues to unzip up to and along the Seaway, the quakes will be less than a magnitude 8 but very destructive to Cleveland and Toledo and Buffalo and the inland locks along the Seaway. Thus it is not what the USGS says that should be watched, but the condition of the bridges on the Mississippi, the impact on the cities along the Seaway, and whether the inland locks are reported as inoperable.   EOZT



Please collect earthquake-reports here. Significant Quakes or Magnitude 7+ can be posted separately.

1-23-2017 Multiple earthquakes south of Des Moines at the same time, January 23, might have had something to do with it. Local officials are calling it "a sinkhole."

A portion of the riverbank has collapsed near City Hall in downtown Des Moines.

Pam Cooksey, city engineer, said her department noticed Monday that soil between City Hall, 400 Robert D. Ray Drive., and the Des Moines River had shifted, but it has not determined a cause. Cooksey said it "looked kind of like a sinkhole."

"We’re looking into that right now to figure out what’s going on to get a repair," she said. "We became aware of it today. I assume it started it over the weekend."

What happens to rock layers under a diagonal pull, or being pulled apart? As can be seen during recent years, this has resulted in derailing trains, sinkholes suddenly appearing, gas and water main breaks, torn roadways and separating bridges. Despite the effect on man, crawling about on the surface of what they assume to be terra firma, these changes are superficial. When the pulling starts, weak points break and thereafter the plumbing and roadways hold, giving the impression that the pulling has stopped, but this is misleading. The North American continent is giving evidence that its rock layers are separating from each other, and sliding sideways in a diagonal, thus exposing portions of these layers to vent into the air above. If rock is being stressed, then where are the earthquake predictors giving evidence of this, the frantic animals, the static on the radio, the earthquake swarms? Rock in the stretch zone, pulling apart rather than compressing, does not emit the particles flows that animals and radios sense, nor register on instruments are tension and release quakes.

Earthquake, endless nightmare: strong shocks in bursts to Italian Centre, afraid to Rome and blocked trains. Despair Apennines: "we have done wrong?"

January 18, 2017

Earthquake, the morning of severe shock to the Italian Center: new collapse, is another disaster. The desperation of Mayors: "we have done wrong?". All live updates

After the strong quake of magnitude 5.3 10:25 this morning with its epicenter in the area of Campotosto and Montereale (L'Aquila), 11:14 hath been a new and even stronger quake with a magnitude of 5.4. This morning's earthquake and nell'aquilano 'was generated by the same fault system that has' activated on August 24. And 'what emerges from the first analyzes of the experts working in the seismic area National Institute of Geophysics Volcanology (INGV). "And 'the same fault system activated on August 24, but to generate today's Earthquake and' a different segment," ANSA said the seismologist Paola Montone, INGV.

In Rome he closed the a and b of the metro lines, and evacuated many schools.

Meanwhile Apennines there is despair. "I do not know if we have done something wrong, I wonder since yesterday, a meter and a half to two meters of snow and now even the Earthquake. What can I say? I do not pa role ".

5.8 magnitude quake shakes Nunavut's High Arctic

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/nunavut-earthquake-1.3926952

Earthquake originally measured at magnitude 6.4 by U.S. Geological Survey

Nunavut's High Arctic was shaken by a 5.8 magnitude earthquake on Sunday, according to Earthquakes Canada.

The U.S. Geological Survey, which originally measured the earthquake at magnitude 6.4, reported that it was centred about 89 kilometres southeast of Resolute.

Cracked windows, shaking reported after High Arctic earthquake and aftershock

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/aftershock-earthquake-nunavut-1...

A few cracked windows seem to be the only damage from the 5.9 magnitude earthquake and 5.1 magnitude aftershock that hit Resolute.

The earthquake hit at 5:45 p.m. local time on Sunday

"The earthquake felt like it was going on forever and our house seemed like it was going to slide. I was lying on the couch watching TV — it was as if was the couch was going to slide too," said Saroomie Manik, CBC's community reporter in Inuktitut.

Paul Legacy, the maintenance manager with the Housing Association in Resolute, says he felt the shaking for "a little bit, then it got a little bit worse for 10 or 15 seconds."

"Things were moving around in my house, pictures were crooked all over the wall. I did get a call from one tenant. She thought it was her furnace but she told me it was knocking everything off her walls too," he said.

"There's a few cracked windows and a couple of broken drains that I'm repairing."

Record-breaking year of earthquakes: 32,828 quakes hit New Zealand in 2016 

Source: twitter.com

2 January, 2017. If you felt like the earth moved more in 2016 than ever before, you're right: GeoNet says last year set a new annual record for the number of earthquakes hitting New Zealand.

Its monitoring network recorded 32,828 quakes - well up from the annual average of about 20,000 - leading seismologists to dub 2016 "the Groundbreaker".

The previous most active year was 2011, with 29,000 quakes. GeoNet's monitoring network has been running for 15 years.

Helping achieve the "dubious honour" of most earthquakes in a year were two magnitude 7+ quakes, 10 tremors measuring magnitude 6 to 6.9, and 122 between magnitude 5 and 6.

The Kaikoura quake and its many aftershocks made 2016 a year for the record books.

"You'd be hard pressed to find someone who wasn' impacted, in some way, by earthquakes in New Zealand this year," GeoNet's Sara McBride wrote in a blog post.

It was unusual for New Zealand to see two quakes top M7 in a year.

The first, on September 2, was a 7.1 that struck at 4.37am, 22 kilometres deep, off the northeast coast of New Zealand.

"Luckily, the damage was minimal on land, although a small tsunami was generated. A strong aftershock sequence continued in the days following," GeoNet said.

"Now, in any other year, the M7.1 would have been the biggest earthquake in New Zealand. But, New Zealand was just getting warmed up."

Then came the big one: the 7.8 Kaikoura quake at 12.02am on November 14, near Culverden in Canterbury.

Two people were killed as the quake ruptured faults, shaking the country from Christchurch to Wellington, and raising the seabed in Kaikoura.

While the M7.8 quake wouldn't make the history books for its size - which was average for the Ring of Fire - it was unique for two reasons: the way it ruptured multiple faults, and the "slow-slip" earthquakes it triggered.

"While we knew the faults were all there, we had only rarely seen an earthquake behave quite like this one," GeoNet said.

Other natural disasters also kept the country on its toes, including a tsunami in the wake of the Kaikoura that sort swathes of the east coast of both the North and South Islands evacuated.
