    Not the Jupiter Effect, but . . . ?

    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...

    Yet another major earthquake strikes Haiti

    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.

    Earthquakes! So many earthquakes

    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.

    L'Aquila quake: Italy scientists guilty of manslaughter

    Link to BBC story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20025626 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...

    Question about S and P waves

    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

    earthquakes

    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...

    Italian government believes you can predict earthquakes

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44596501/ns/technology_and_science-science/ 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...

    Responsibility of scientists?

    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)...
