Cosmo - Seismic Events

[Kid Eager]

I was going to ask, "What on in Earth causes earthquakes in the centre of Australia?" but I Googled instead.



Interesting.

Indeedy - we're on a pretty stable patch of earth, so it's a little disconcerting when something does decide to move. We expect snakes, spiders, floods, bushfires, cyclones - but not earthquakes.

not so fast

Your predictions failed. Now what?

I don't see it? And what's your claim?

Do you see your failure to predict the earthquake in Mexico as a failed prediction?

That your prediction was vague and now unsubstantiated.

What joke? So far, here, you are an epic fail.

 

[rcfieldz]

and you are..?

Thanks for the bump...here's another.

Thanks for the bump...here's another.

And your results are ... vague... unbounded... a stopped clock is correct twice a day...


So rcfieldz, what size of seismic event, on the Richter scale?

Where is the world exactly? Given a fifty mile radius?

I predict there will be a seismic event in New Madrid fault within the next three days.

Give it a shot.

Huh...like a 3.0 or smaller or..BIG? Targeting yet...

Geepers, so your boundary you gave was?

define 'catastrophic'

 

[rcfieldz]

dates given are ahead...

Duh-uh!

Is that a seismic reference?

Wait, I thought all your posts were a joke. This isn't some sort of "poe" or art project?

Triple Face Palm indeed!

And just to show how horribly wrong in all ways rcfieldz is: http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/11/world/asia/indonesia-earthquake/index.html Another swing and a miss.

Our seer seems to have missed today's earthquakes.

Missing a R8.6 and R8.2................

Could be just the pre-main feature trailers...

the show is only starting...

My dates have not even arrived yet. And as far as it goes I am not hoping for the worst. I just gave a view from my perspective. I could have placed this thread in the 2012 Predictions thread but I have another there already. Just thought this would make for more responses, hopefully educational, on earthquakes in general but most prefer to ridicule and perceive me as an Earth-Quack...which is fine.

What scientific method are you using to predict earthquakes? Predict the next big one now, one that will make the news. Time and location please.
