Cosmo - Seismic Events

I don't think the OP understands the reasons that earthquakes happen.....

There are 3 kinds of quake causing faults:

Thrust(reverse) /Normal - these two involve two plates moving either under another plate (or the reverse) resulting in a build up in tension, (think of it as sliding the open end of a paperback book over another one. The pages buckle and build up tension and the BOOM the release suddenly ) This relese of tension is expressed as an earthquake

The 3rd kind of fault is a slip strike fault- this involves two plates moving horizontally and rubbing together in a lateral motion.(think of rubbing you hands together with rubber gloves on) same sort of tension release occurs, just in a different direction)


In other words, the freakin tides or rotation don't really have much to with plate freakin tectonics!

You are not going to answer my question, are you. Let me have a go then. No bookie (since you prefer the informal shortened form of the term) would touch it because of the sloppy amount of wriggle room you have provided for yoursellf to claim success in most any outcome.

Dates as follows: 5/31 6/12 9/16 11/14/12 Next year: 2/10 2/11 3/6 4/9 4/10 5/10 7/8 11/12/13.
Give me a Nevada spread of a couple dates before and after. Before marking signs from animals as in birds flying eratically and pets on edge. After - aftershocks.

Give me the level of average seismic events, the level of event size and a standard deviation, then each of your dates must have an event that rises above the noise level.

Here are the 4.5s for the last week:

Events in the last 30 days:

You do know that the New Madrid fault had almost daily events ?
~2 our of three days?

Microseismic earthquakes (magnitude less than 1.0 to about 2.0), measured by seismographs but not felt by humans, occur on average every other day in the NMSZ (more than 200 per year).

These are sentence fragments. Can you clarify what you are trying to say?
 
There are about 500,000 measurable earthquakes every year. That works out at roughly 1300 per day. Predicting that there may be an earthquake on a few dates (with a spread of 2 days either side!) isn't really very impressive. Give us the magnitude and location, and you might be taken seriously.

Or were you hoping that no-one on this board would be aware of how many earthquakes there are each year?

I doubt rc is ever going to answer these questions.

I would like to be proven wrong.

As long as specifics are given of course.

Since your location remains undeclared, your on your own. If where you are is prone to any events as mentioned and has not had a large( measureable) or above normal(?..) occurence of late then...well I don't know why I even waste my time....

Ok, so any area that has had no big earthquakes?

Which could be alot of places.

I thought a bookie took bets and a bookmaker kept the logs for a business...
 
No, a bookkeeper keeps the logs for a business.

Anyway, I live in the Silicon Valley area of California. Definitely an area known for past earthquakes. Are you asking me to take note of unusual animal activity in this area and its relation to earthquakes? Because I can tell you that in the nearly a decade I have lived here there have been plenty of weird animals but practically no earthquakes that I would call significant.
