Ever since the Easter earthquake, I have been really tense and paranoid. I know the "big one" is bound to happen sometime….. and I also know that you can’t predict earthquakes… but I’m sure scientists have made estimates of when it will strike. And if it strikes LA, how badly will it affect San Diego? And will this "big one" cause a tsunami?

What are your opinions about 2012?
Jun 29, 2010 in
Earthquake Questions
I have scientific proof that 2012 is bound NOT to happen. I just want to hear your thoughts, and share mine, too. Evidence: you would be able to see Planet X coming by now in the night sky if it were that close to Earth (or if it even exists); the possibility of Planet X actually striking Earth is very slim; Polar Shifts are just a theory, and would otherwise take 5,000 years to complete; the Galactic Alignment had, supposedly, already happened or is going to happen later on, but Sag. A (center of the galaxy) would need to be thousands of light-years closer to Earth to have any effect AT ALL; human disasters are predictable, but astronomical and natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. are completely unpredictable; the Mayans started all of this, and even THEY don’t think 2012 is a disaster but a celebration for a new tomorrow!
These are my accurate facts about 2012, now tell me what you think!

soooooooooooo…. they said we have nothing to worry about… with all the hype of the obvious "2012" thing, but more specifically, the fact that the earth is going through a lot more the past few years is pretty bad.

another thing – the chile earthquake shifted the earth’s axis, and our days are shorter by a fraction of a second, i know not to worry about a fraction of a second, but eventually it adds up… 1/50th of a second is a whole second in just 50 days, a minute in a couple years, and will eventually add up to an hour to a whole day to a couple days, to a week, to a month, to a couple months to half a year, to a whole year (that’s giving the half a second or whatever it is, hundreds of years to take away a whole years worth of time)… i plan on living a long healthy life, so why would i want a day or two taken out of my routine?
no, i’m not being paranoid… frankly, i don’t give a crap. i just wanted to post a question to make people think. SO please don’t put up "omg you’re so dumb" "wow you need to kill yourself" "wtf you believe everything you read" answers.
ten points will go to the person who puts the most thought into their answer… thus, you won’t get 10 points by posting "posting for points" because that’s not going to get you anywhere.
i applaud you dylan, although, you’re a dick… so i have to give you a thumbs down.
gexi… i’ll be with you in hell because i don’t believe in it either LOL and i don’t think the world is gonna end ^^ i’m not into following the rest of the obvious cattle into the cage so we can be slaughtered. but, i don’t believe nothing is going to happen.. i’d rather be undecided because that way whatever happens happens and i can accept it either way.

Earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes. Can they ever damage to a nuclear power plant, causing a radiation leak, or worse? Maybe this needs to be asked by our government, in light of the oil leak in the gulf.. We need to investigate and prepare for ANY potential disaster.

Wake Up!……. For Jesus Christ specially said that “earthquakes in one place after another” would mark “the conclusion of the system of things.”—Matt. 24:3, 7.
If a picture is worth a Thousand Words… Please take Note

This Final Witness Work Has to be Completed also….so no one can say "No one tried , To Witness to Me"
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
Jesus Christ the Faithful Witness Says: . . .Look! I am standing at the door and knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his [house] and take the evening meal (Last Days?) with him and he with me. . .(Revelation 3:20)
(Matthew 24:36-42) 36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

actually if they weren’t uncommon
then why are they showing up now for?
the last time they started showing up was
december – January 2008
This website has only had a 1 – 3 all year round since then in yellowstone
but now for some reason it’s acting up again or maybe it’s just some pattern that happens around January
I was wondering where to find information specifically geared towards what causes earthquakes and whether or not they can be predicted (besides Wikipedia). Do you know of any specific books, websites, or videos that would contain this information? I tried The Discovery Channel website and it really never focused on earthquakes. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Or does it just appear that way? Is it normal for earthquakes to happen in series like this?
I’ve looked on the USGS site and I can see that earthquakes happen every day but how does this year (and last year) stand up to past years?
I haven’t always been up on world news but now I am very into the news…so I’m not sure if it’s just that I didn’t notice it in the past.
BTW, I know there are other places to ask this but I normally get good activity/answers here. 
I think it is easier to blow this off because there is nothing anyone can do to stop an earthquake or tsunami. I discovered after the earthquake in Haiti (right after the earthquake in Eureka) by looking through the earthquake reports that earthquakes do happen everyday. However, I also feel that this is something that you would have to calculate. The information is there for the public, it’s just a matter of who is willing to sort through it and compare it previous years. I don’t have time to do that because I only have a computer at work.
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html
I don’t think it’s the end of the world but I do think our Earth is shifting and changing. Those of us who are fortunate to survive this shifting are going to really enjoy the new Earth.
I am not a "gloom and doom" kind of person but I live in SF, it is very realistic that a big one might hit here in the near future. I feel that something is up with the world.

My neighbor told my mom this morning that he has a friend who works for the USGS or someplace that monitors earthquakes and that his friend’s boss sent everyone home and told them to spend time with their families…like while they still can. He said it might have something to do with Yosemite?
I just wanted to know if anyone else had heard any rumors? It totally makes sense not to tell the public…that’d just cause chaos and wouldn’t really help anyone.
Haha I think it was more like a volcano triggering a series of earthquakes or something like that, but I don’t even know if thats possible. :] Thanks for your answer! I wasn’t sure whether to believe him, it just aroused my curiosity.
I don't know what career to choose!…?

I am 17 and I need to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life, my career. I wanted to be an Architect, but now I’m second guessing it. I am taking it as an elective at my high school, and its a lot of fun, but I know once i get to college, theres so much more to it than just making up floor plans.
Before Architecture, I wanted to become a Meteorologist. I kinda still do. I have an interest in weather and Natural Disasters(like tornadoes and earthquakes). My mom keeps telling me she can’t picture me in either career. I’m not sure if I can either all so much now I think about it.
So, What career is for me? I like drawing, designing, deciding where things go, music, weather, sports, helping others, nature, the environment, etc. I don’t like fashion and history.
I know for one, that I don’t want to become a nurse or doctor or dentist or vet or related fields. I am like, terrified of needles and stuff like that.
Thankyou for your responses
i’m confused. it has to do something with triangulation in earth science and earthquakes.
Waves (Earthquake problem)?
May 15, 2010 in
Earthquake Questions
Earthquakes produce two kinds of seismicwaves: he longitudinal primary waves (called P waves) and the transverse secondary waves (called S waves). Both S waves and P waves travel through Earth’s crust and mantle, but at different speeds; the P waves are always faster than the S waves, but their exact speeds depend on depth and location. For the purpose of this exercise, we assume the P wave’s speed to be 8480 m/s while the S waves travel at a slower speed of 4510 m/s.If a seismic station detects a P wave and then 67.2 s later detects an S wave, how far away is the earthquake center? Answer in units of km.

There’s a new movie coming out, I saw the trailer, and it’s about how like a hundred years ago these kids had to draw a picture of what they thought he future was like and it was put in a time capsule, but when the capsule is unearthed these people find this paper with a bunch of numbers. So they get this scientist or someone to look at it and he finds out that the numbers predict every single catastrophe, like earthquakes, tsunamis etc. and they find out that according to the paper, the next day, 81 people would die somehow i really would appreciate it thanks

Time to arrive to target, 10 Km under ground: 6 hours.
Check the graphs. The activity is high only before surface earthquakes. HAARP cannot cause quakes under 18 Km deep.

I’m skeptical in regards to translating, interpreting the meanings of dreams, so please include a reference, preferably science-based, like DSM4, APA, etc…
Almost every dream has an earth quake or tidal wave, even the occasional atomic bomb.
I’ve had tidal wave dreams all my life. Earthquakes came in after 1989, and nuclear war started in 1991.
