I’m personally afraid of what’s happening now, Haiti’s earthquake, Chile’s earthquake I don’t know what’s going to happen next, i know I’m not suppose to know, but what if it gets worse, I’m really worried about how the earth is behaving and now because of the latest earthquake the days are shorter, and the 2012 is closer and everything is so connected do you think that maybe the end of our world is actually coming closer? Just tell me your opinion, and no mean comments Thanks!

10? 11? 12? Also will it cause major canyon size cracks on earth and make Vegas beach front property like the movie 2012 depicted devouring everything?

Is there a maximum magnitude earthquake you can have? Can you have magnitude 20 or above?
I posted question here cause I didn’t get any answer in the geology forum & since military people know everything.
Oh yeah, Haiti!

Presently I am living in Sikkim since last about 20 years and it has been observed that in the Himalayan Region, as well as in other parts of the earth, most earthquakes occurs at late night or in the early morning.

In the last 20 years only once I have noticed earthquake at 11 AM approx. WHY SO?

I know that the Mayan calender ends in 2012 (Dec 23 if im not mistaken) and a lot of people think it either means the end of the world or just that it was the end of THEIR calendar…but, I have also recently heard the whole theory of ‘planet x’ or ‘Niberu’<spelling that is basically a planet out of control that will not hit the earth but will throw off the magnetic fields of the earth and cause earthquakes, tsunami’s on a scale not known by man.. there are also pictures of this so called planet x on youtube, is there any truth to this.. what are your thoughts..?

"I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place."
(Revelations 6:12-14)

When food, fuel, power are scarce and expensive. When the sea water will rise between 7 to 43 meter. When hurricane, tornadoes, flood and drought will increase in intensity and reduce our habitat and food supply to a dangerous level. When population increase to 9 Billion. What do we need to do? and Would we able to do something about it or it is no longer humanly possible to correct?

an average movement of about 5m(16ft) along the san andreas fault was associated with the devastating 1906 san fransanciso earthquake that killed people and destroyed properties. assuming that all displacement along the fault was produced by earth motions of this magnitude, how often must such earthquakes have occurred in order to account for the total displacement?

For CA- how many [earthquakes] in the last hour?
how many in the last day?
what is the magnitude of the largest?

what is the location and magnitude of the quake nearest to us on the US map? where in the US are there the most earthquakes? the least? what dates are covered for this listing?

How many earthquakes occurred on the most recent month (8-30 days)?
Where in the world are most of the earthquakes located?

For significant quakes give the following:
highest magnitude- number, location
deepest focus location (in earth)- how deep?
closest to surface
caused the most damage

I need a name for an green dragon…

Picture of my dragon http://dragcave.net/view/cpYo

It enjoys gathering pebbles and other small rocks and putting them in a pile. Green dragons are also sometimes called "earth" dragons. They usually live deep within caves, and have power over the earth. They are capable of launching boulders at high speeds, and can cause earthquakes by slamming down onto the ground.

When an earthquake occurs, two types of sound waves are generated and travel through the earth. The primary, or P, wave has a speed of about 9.0 km/s and the secondary, or S, wave has a speed of about 4.5 km/s. A seismograph, located some distance away, records the arrival of the P wave and then, 140 s later, records the arrival of the S wave. Assuming that the waves travel in a straight line, how far is the seismograph from the earthquake?

In the old testament when a man was caught in adultery not only was he stoned, but his wife and children. Where is the justice here. He even said He repented that He even made man and destroyed the earth with water along with all life. Except for Noah and his family. The all knowing God must have known that the first thing Noah would do was to plant a vineyard and get sot drunk and god knows what else. Did God not know that the people would again become more wicked with the growing population after the flood. 5,000 yr’s later and look at us now even more wicked. He said He would never destroy the earth again with water. Distruction is distruction no matter how it happens. Fire, earthquakes, pestilence, plague, or some other deadly calamity. What about the rainbow, the promise in the sky? Have you ever turned on the water hose using the fine spray and seen the same rainbow, only smaller. What’s the expanation to that one. Sorry, please, I just can’t wrap my mind around this one.

So we have a project about Earthquake Waves (seismic waves), and I’m making a powerpoint for it. Some of the information was easy to find and in the book, and I’m already done with that portion of the project. But now I’m onto the last part, which isn’t in the book nor was taught by my teacher, and I can’t find it anywhere. It is:

Earth’s Interior
– Explain how earthquake waves are used to make a model of Earth’s interior.
– Include atleast two pictures

The book doesn’t talk about making models by using earthquake waves. Please help!

The pattern of earthquakes around the world outlines what features? That is, if you look at the map of earthquakes you should notice that the earthquakes occur almost in lines (or zones) that surround areas of the Earth that have few earthquakes. The earthquakes thus outline these areas. What are the areas with few earthquakes called?

Can we limit the devastation of earthquakes and volcanoes by knowing more about plate tectonics? Why does a seismic knowledge of the interior of the Earth help us on the surface? Should we initiate planning to avoid catastrophe-prone areas, or should we try to protect against those catastrophes as they occur?

When an earthquake occurs, two types of sound waves are generated and travel through the earth. The primary, or P, wave has a speed of about 8.0 km/s and the secondary, or S, wave has a speed of about 4.5 km/s. A seismograph, located some distance away, records the arrival of the P wave and then, 78 s later, records the arrival of the S wave. Assuming that the waves travel in a straight line, how far is the seismograph from the earthquake?

The answer for this problem is 8.8 X 10^5 m. I can’t seem to get this answer… can you tell me how you did it if you know how to do it? Thanks!
