Monday, August 06, 2007

E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
HUNTINGTON, Utah — Six workers became trapped after a Utah mine collapsed following a magnitude 4.0 earthquake less than 20 miles away, police said.

"Rescue workers are on scene trying to locate six miners that are unaccounted for," the sheriff's office said.

Adriano Mazzini, an Italian mud volcano expert at the University of Oslo and an author of the new study, said earthquakes could have ripple effects thousands of kilometers away and with delays of days.

A quake in Alaska, for instance, had been linked to later seismic activity in Yellowstone National Park far to the southeast.

Regarding the Utah quake, it shook for about 4 minutes. I've been in some humdingers living in california, but four minutes is sooooo long....That doesn't happen that I can remember in my lifetime....how often does such a long period of shaking occur?

[WATCHING AND WAITING]

on another thread in here, one of the links about the Utah quake was the possiblity it was casued by the cave in, not the cave in by the quake.

yes the cave in was the ''quake''
so no real sesmic activity

but what a cave in!

i need to add this as i keep this thread up
300 quakes is very minor
this old world gets more then 80,000 per month
overall the activity is very quiet
watch the volcanoes
