ZetaTalk: 7 of 10 Sequence written October 16, 2010
The 7 of 10 scenarios describe plate movements, and for this to occur something has to release the deadlock, the current stalemate where the plates are locked against each other. Once the deadlock is broken and the plates start moving, sliding past each other, new points where the plates are locked against each other develop, but these are weaker locks than the one at present. The current lock, as we have so often stated, is the Indo-Australian Plate which is being driven under the Himalayans. This is no small lock, as the height of the Himalayans attests. Nevertheless, the activity in this region shows this likely to be the first of the 7 of 10 scenarios to manifest. Bangladesh is sinking and the Coral Sea is rising, showing the overall tipping of the Indo-Australian Plate. Now Pakistan is sinking and not draining its floods as it should, while Jakarta on the tongue of Indonesia is also sinking rapidly, showing that the tilt that will allow Indonesia to sink has already started.
Meanwhile, S America is showing signs of a roll to the west. Explosions on islands just to the north of the S American Plate occurred recently, on Bonaire and Trinidad-Tobago, and the Andes are regularly being pummeled. There is a relationship. As the Indo-Australia Plate lifts and slides, this allows the Pacific plates to shift west, which allows S America to shift west also. This is greatly increased by the folding of the Mariana Trench and the Philippine Plate. But it is the Indo-Australian Plate that gives way to incite change in these other plates, and this is what is manifesting now to those closely following the changes. Once the folding of the Pacific has occurred, Japan has been destabilized. We are not allowed to give a time frame for any of these plate movements, but would point out that it is not until the North Island of Japan experiences its strong quakes that a tsunami causing sloshing near Victoria occurs. There are clues that the New Madrid will be next.
Where the N American continent is under great stress, it has not slipped because it is held in place on both sides. The Pacific side holds due to subduction friction along the San Andreas, and the Atlantic side holds due to the Atlantic Rift's reluctance to rip open. What changes this dynamic? When S America rolls, almost in step with the folding Pacific, it tears the Atlantic Rift on the southern side. This allows Africa freedom to move and it rolls too, dropping the Mediterranean floor above Algeria. What is holding the N American continent together has thus eased, so that when the Japan adjustments are made, there is less holding the N American continent in place than before, and the New Madrid gives way. We are also not allowed to provide the time frame between the Japan quakes and New Madrid. Other than the relationship in time between the New Madrid and the European tsunami, no time frame can be given. The sequence of events is, thus:
a tipping Indo-Australia Plate with Indonesia sinking,
a folding Pacific allowing S America to roll,
a tearing of the south Atlantic Rift allowing Africa to roll and the floor of the Mediterranean to drop,
great quakes in Japan followed by the New Madrid adjustment,
which is followed almost instantly by the tearing of the north Atlantic Rift with consequent European tsunami.
Due to the slowing of the 7 of 10 plate movements by the Council of Worlds the impact of some of the events described above will be lessened.
The Zetas explain:
ZetaTalk: Pace Slowed
Written May 19, 2012
The effect of the thousands of humming boxes placed along fault lines and plate borders can be seen in several incidents that have occurred since the start of the 7 of 10 plate movements. The lack of tsunami during the 7 of 10 sinking of the Sunda Plate is one such example. We predicted at the start of the 7 of 10 scenarios in late 2010 that the Sunda Plate sinking would occur within 2-3 weeks, yet it dragged on through 2011. At the time we had predicted tsunami on the Sunda Plate, in general equivalent in height to the loss of elevation for a coastline. None of this occurred due to the slower pace.
The pace of mountain building in S America, where slowed, has still resulted in rumpling up and down the Andes, and stretch zone accidents likewise in lands to the east of the Andes. The shape of S America has clearly changed. Will the islands in the Caribbean be spared? At some point, as with the magnitude 7.9 quake in Acapulco on March 2, 2012 a significant adjustment will need to occur, and this will include depressing the Caribbean Plate so it tilts, sinking the islands and lands on that portion of the plate to the degree predicted. But the S American roll will likely continue to avoid the magnitude 8 quakes we originally predicted in deference to slow rumpling mountain building. The African roll was anticipated to be a silent roll in any case, so the slowed pace would not affect the outcome.
Will the slowed pace prevent the 7 of 10 scenarios for the Northern Hemisphere? Bowing of the N American continent has reached the point of pain, with breaking rock booming from coast to coast, but still there have been no significant quakes in the New Madrid area. Yet this is past due, and cannot be held back indefinitely. What has and will continue to occur for the Northern Hemisphere scenarios are silent quakes for Japan, which has already experienced drastic subduction under the north island of Hokkaido where mountain building is occurring as a rumple rather than a jolt. However, the anticipated New Madrid adjustment cannot be achieved without trauma. But this could potentially occur in steps and stages such that any European tsunami would be significantly lessened.
What happens when the pace of plate movement is slowed? The likelihood of tsunami is definitely reduced, as can be seen in the sinking on the Sunda Plate. The sinking occurred, and is almost complete, yet the possibility of tsunami we predicted for various regions on the Sunda Plate were avoided. The height and force of a tsunami is directly related to the degree of displacement in the sea floor, and if this happens in steps rather than all at once the displacement will be less for any given step.
This bodes well for the European tsunami. If the Council of Worlds is still imposing a slower pace on the 7 of 10 plate movements, this tsunami will definitely be lessened. The tear in the North Atlantic will be slight, each time. The amount of water pouring into this void will be less, each time. And the rebound toward the UK will likewise be less, each time. But our prediction is the worst case situation, and it also reflects what the Earth changes, unabated, would produce.
But what does a slower pace do to land masses where jolting quakes are expected? Does this reduce the overall magnitude of the quakes anticipated? Large magnitude quakes result when a catch point along plate borders is highly resistant, but snapping of rock finally results. Usually there is one place, the epicenter, where this catch point resides and a long distance along the plate border where smaller quakes have prepared the border for easy movement. A point of resistance within the body of a plate, such as the New Madrid, can likewise resist and suddenly give.
There is no way to lessen the resistance at these catch points, though the tension that accompanies such points can be reduced so that the quake itself is delayed. What this means for a slower 7 of 10 pace is that large magnitude quakes will be spread apart in time, and their relationship to our predictions thus able to be camouflaged by the establishment. Where sinking (such as the Caribbean Island of Trinidad) or spreading apart (such as to the west of the Mississippi River) are to occur, these land changes will eventually arrive. But like the sinking of the Sunda Plate, a slower pace unfortunately allows the cover-up time to maneuver and develop excuses.
Kenya: Land collapse victims to be resettled soon.
Aug 3, 2018
The government has started consolidating landslide victims into groups to fund their resettlement in Murang’a county. The ‘Participatory Approach for Safe Shelter Assessment’ initiative being done in collaboration with the Kenya Red Cross Society will fund the groups to construct new houses. The groups will also help map out disaster-prone areas from past calamities and come up with solutions.Central region Red Cross coordinator Gitonga Mugambi said Murang’a is one of the counties worst affected by torrents that hit the country earlier in the year.

Data from the seismometers helped University of Oregon researchers identify seismic anomalies at both ends of the fault where they believe pieces of the upper mantle are rising and modulating earthquake activity.

New seismic data provide structural basis for strong earthquakes that strike at both ends of the Pacific Northwest fault zone.
With four years of data from 268 seismometers on the ocean floor and several hundred on land, researchers have found anomalies in the upper mantle below both ends of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. They may influence the location, frequency and strength of earthquake events along the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
The anomalies, which reflect regions with lower seismic wave velocities than elsewhere beneath the fault line, point to pieces of the Earth’s upper mantle that are rising and buoyant because of melting rock and possibly elevated temperatures, said Miles Bodmer, a University of Oregon doctoral student who led a study now online as an accepted paper by the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
The 620-mile subduction zone, which hasn’t experienced a massive lengthwise earthquake since 1700, is where the Juan de Fuca ocean plate dips under the North American continental plate. The fault zone stretches just offshore from northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino in northern California.
The mantle is rising under the southern Gorda deformation zone at the north edge of the San Andreas Fault and under the Olympic Peninsula and southern Vancouver Island.
“What we see are these two anomalies that are beneath the subducting slab in the northern and southern parts of the subduction zone,” Bodmer said. “These regions don’t have the same behavior as the entire fault. There are three segments that have their own distinct geological characteristics. The north and south segments have increased locking and increased tremor densities.”
Locking refers to how strongly two plates stick. “If they are stuck together tightly, as is the case here, they are building up stress, and you have the potential for the release of that stress, or energy, in large earthquake events,” Bodmer said.
Such quakes, while strong, are below that of the 9-plus magnitude event projected should all of Cascadia rupture at once, he said. Locking is much weaker in Cascadia’s central section, which includes most of Oregon, where infrequent, smaller quakes tend to occur from creeping along the plates.
Tremor refers to long-duration seismic signals often seen at subduction zones. “These happen deep and take more time than a typical earthquake as they rumble to release energy,” Bodmer said.
The findings won’t help earthquake forecasting, but they do point to the need for real time onshore-offshore seismic monitoring and geodetic analyses, such as from GPS to help plot spatial coordinates, of the anomalies as a next step in that direction, said co-author Douglas R. Toomey, a seismologist in the UO Department of Earth Sciences.
The study helps to make sense of Cascadia’s historical record of earthquake, he said.
The junction of the Cascadia-San Andreas faults, Toomey said, contains a lot of complexity and is the most seismically active part of contiguous North America. Seismic history also shows more earthquake activity in the Puget Sound area than in central Oregon. Both regions accumulate energy that eventually is released in large earthquakes, he said.
“Our study is worse news for Portland northward to Seattle and for southern Cascadia, but central Cascadia is not off the hook,” said Toomey, who also is lead investigator for the Oregon component of ShakeAlert, the West Coast early warning network. “More frequent earthquakes to the north and south are seen in historical seismicity patterns. This research helps to understand that.”
The study involved deep imaging, similar to CAT scans, using different forms of seismic waves coming from distant earthquakes moving through the Earth.
The ocean-bottom seismic stations, from which data were retrieved every 10 months, were part of the National Science Foundation-funded Cascadia Initiative. Older data from numerous onshore studies in the western United States also were included in the analysis.
In addition to helping to understand Cascadia’s historical earthquake record, the anomalies, Bodmer said, suggest that the two buoyant ends help to modulate plate coupling forces.
“We’re looking at structures deep within the Earth and finding evidence suggesting that they are influencing the megathrust faults and controlling where we see increases in locking and segmentation,” Bodmer said. “Knowing the timing and path of the seismic signals, we can look at velocity variation and equate that to the structures. With large offshore data sources, we might be able to better understand how a large rupture in the south might extend into central Oregon.”

In the depression of Afar, in northern Ethiopia, shepherds and salt merchants survive today in a surreal landscape of fissures, faults and a lake of boiling lava, which can change drastically.
...
A new body of water would be generated; the Afar gap is widening at an astounding rate of almost 2.54 centimeters each year and, given the speed of the process, a new ocean can be expected after a few million years, according to scientists.
It all started a little over ten years ago; It was like a scene from a special effects film: in September 2005, the natives saw how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed its goats and camels.
Fragments of obsidian from the underground depths jumped through the air "like big black birds," according to testimonies published on the subject.
For three days, a cloud of ash darkened the Sun, while the largest volcano in the region, Erta Ale, "smoky mountain" in the Afar language, erupted.
"My wife started shouting at the neighbors asking them to come help us to get our belongings," recalls Tefere Kassa.
The strong seismic activity resulted in a massive crack, which is approximately 60 kilometers long, eight meters wide and about two meters deep.
A few months later, several cracks were discovered around the desert, while the ground sank to an estimated depth of 100 meters.
The Rift Valley stretches for more than three thousand kilometers, "from the Gulf of Aden in the north to Zimbabwe the south, dividing the African plate into two equal parts: the Somali and the Nubian", says the professor of Geology in the University of Addis Ababa, Mengisteab Teshome.
Teshome argues that "the activity along the eastern branch of the Valley, which runs throughout Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania, became evident when the crack suddenly appeared in the Kenyan southwest."
In his opinion, this rift is unique on the planet, because it allows you to observe the different stages of fissuring live.
The Afar depression is one of the most hyperactive regions of the world in geological terms; if you fly over it in an airplane or in a powered glider, as did the photographer Georg
"It was like parting the Earth": Lutto Kututo, the town destroyed by huge cracks in Peru. Jul 24, 2018
A loud noise like thunder woke Gregorio Abiega at about 3 o'clock in the morning on one of the first days of March.
Part of the floor of Lutto Kututo, the town where this 67-year-old man lives, had sunk and had been traversed by innumerable cracks.
The terrain, equivalent to about 20 soccer fields, was fragmented into hundreds of blocks, uneven between two to 38 meters deep with respect to the ground.
The authorities had warned of the collapse a few months earlier. When it finally happened, Abiega had already left the area in danger and was spending the night in a tent.
"My house is gone," thought the old man when he heard the rumble of what they were, according to the Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute of Peru (Ingemmet), more than a million cubic meters of earth coming down.
It was the movement of all that mass, enough to fill some 480 Olympic swimming pools, which destroyed or made uninhabitable Abiega's house and most roads and town houses.
In total, 106 families were affected, according to the mayor of Llusco, the district in which the community is located, in Cusco, Peru.
"I was sad, I almost cried," says Abiega to BBC Mundo, and his eyes are watering for a couple of minutes.
Talk to us at the edge of the largest crack, which at its maximum height of 38 m looks like a cliff and, according to Ingemmet, measures about 290 m long.
