he moon's pull is so strong it may trigger earthquakes on Earth. Scientists are still baffled by its power.
As the Moon's gravity does actually flex the Earth's crust by over 35 cm, I find this easier to accept than the The Jupiter Effect that was popularized in the 1970s. ISTR remember an...
7.2 magnitude earthquake hits off the coast of Haiti: "High casualties are probable"
This quake is stronger than the one that struck in 2010 and killed as many as 300,000 people, but it struck in a less-populated area so casualties may be fewer.
So we have had three massive Earthquakes off of the East Cape and near the Kermadec Islands in the past 7 hours. The first was a 7.1 at 2.27 am local time, followed by a 7.4 at 6:41 am and an 8.0 a little under an hour ago at 8.28 am.
We now have Tsunami Warnings in place for eastern parts of...
Soo, 6.4 earthquake yesterday, 7.1 today. Tomorrow will definitely be 7.8. I mean that's just science.*
Hope everyone is okay. Fortunately people in the area have some experience with these things.
*This is in no way science.
Did Mexico’s Revelry in World Cup Win Over Germany Cause an Earthquake?

Jeez, we just got another big one. 7.1 according to US gov't. This one hit Puebla area. Massive damage being shown on TV right now. Injuries, road collapses. Puebla is only about 1 1-2, 2 hrs south of Mexico City. My area is ok. Nothing like the one a few weeks ago, but Puebla area just got...
Nope, not the San Andreas but the Cascadia subduction zone.
Starting here there is a six part series of articles on the effects of a major earthquake and tsunami along the US west coast.
Earthquakes along the fault have happened forty one times in the last ten thousand years, based on data...
Japanese city covered in mysterious foam after earthquake

What is that?
If you're gonna get drunk and naked, probably the wrong country and place to do it in. Pretty funny! *********** hippies ;)

Is it me or are these larger quakes happening with more frequency the last month or two?

The truly eerie part is that it was felt all the way to Europe, for example in Moscow, 7,000 km awy, where skyscrapers swayed:

The prosecution claimed that the scientists made a falsely reassuring statement.
I understood that (accurately) predicting earthquakes was impossible. To me this sounds like the Italian judiciary acting to placate an unhappy...
Howdy all,
I recently got this question from a former student, and - not being a seismologist - I'm not quite sure how to address it:
Any assistance would be appreciated, and I will promptly name you as one of my physics demigods :p
Cheers - MM
My first guess is that they would be completely unpredictable, but I might be wrong. My (uneducated) common sense says that after a "big one" (grossly defined at about 7 on the Richter) the rest are replicas, but, it could be otherwise, or they might not be related at all. Where can I find more...
Due to points of rotation of our planet or the hemisphere at time of event. In relation to tides, volcanic and seismic events.

Anxiety and inattention over Tokyo's next Big One
It points out that a magnitude 7 earthquake is actually 1000 times smaller in terms of energy released that the magnitude 9.0 earthquake that caused the tsunami last year. However, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 which killed over 100,000...
I listened to the skeptiod podcast and love your program. I listened to your episode on fracking and helped reduce if not dispel my concerns over fracking and drinking water. However I'm now wondering about a supposition I've heard that fracking in the UKmay have triggered earthquakes there...

Italian scientists are being sued by the government because they didn't warn the public of an impending earthquake that killed 300+ in 2009.
I didn't know that seismology had advanced so far that they could make accurate...
Kind of a bizarre legal situation.
It seems that scientists did not expect some small earthquake tremors to amount to much, and told the public to be calm. Unfortunately they were wrong and now are being sued (along with town officials)...
