The Savage Earth: Earthquakes and Volcanos II

[Pendragon]

YA THINK - Those are the "hottest" lists I can remember seeing. Hopefully this is just an anomalous spike in activity and it will calm down. But even so I am willing to bet it won't stay calmed down. What we are seeing is starting to look more like a trend. Something like the graph of the NYSE when it is jumping all over the place but with a steady upward trend.

Could, as I said in a previous post in another thread, the "Ring of Fire" along the Pacific Rim be coming unglued? And if it is what will be the consequences for places lying along major fault lines. I can just see large parts of the coastal areas of Alaska, Washington state, California, Japan, and a whole bunch more looking like they were carpet bombed, if they end up looking that good even.

You make a great point with the lack of real activity going on on this side of the pacific and the amount going on on the otherside of the pacific, We all know that earthqaukes happen along fault line and those fault lines are made from pieces of earth crust/mantel.. if one side of the mantel is moving and the other hasn't yet what pressure is being built up... In addtion with the earthquakes happening the way they are that is alot of friction and also movement of magama tubes and magma chambers.. meaning??? what should we expect next? IMO I would say a mojor west coast US earthquake or a huge volcano eruption or both

OK, I am not responsible for the folloowing statements: the devil is making me do it.

There are two things that come to mind when I think about the "Ring of Fire" unscrewing like a bottle top on a wide mouth mayo jar.

The first is the way the Martian "meteors" opened up in the original 50's film "War of the Worlds". A big honking disc unscrewed from the side of it and dropped off letting the Martian invaders out. OH MY GOODNESS - What if the ring of fire is really a screw in plug and when it unscrews all the hideous creatures living in the middle of the earth come out and eat us for supper.:runhills:runaway:hide

The second thing that comes to mind, triggered by the previous idea of a screw in plug, is the movie, "The Man With Two Brains" I believe, in which Steve Martin is a brain surgeon who develops a new procedure called the "Cranial Screw Top Method". :groan:mazy

Okay, we all know I'm a little bit :loco , but the bolded part made me think of something. It made me think of these earthquakes working to release demons. I know there's not necessarily anything in the Bible to confirm such a thing. That's just what popped into my little brain. :rolls

I think it is more like a garden hose.... When you block the water from going where it wants to go the pressure builds up and it either springs a leak or it blows out the other end where it is connected

Can we post more real info? I think we are going off the edge here. I am VERY interested in where these quakes are and consequences. I think this is a serious event. Sorry guys, but maybe you can move the fun stuff to AG?:hug:idunno

there are
seven known supervolcanoes the Yellowstone, Long Valley, and Valles Calderas in the United States; ; Taupo Volcano, North Island, New Zealand; Aira Caldera, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyūshū, Japan; and the Siberian Traps, Russia. Although there are only a handful of supervolcanoes, super volcanic eruptions typically cover huge areas with lava and volcanic ash and cause a long-lasting change to weather (such as the triggering of a small ice age) sufficient to threaten the extinction of species.

please stay on topic thanks!!

there are two super volcanoes in the USA
and when there are earthquakes in this area
Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia
i do indeed watch that

Supervolcano" With Twisted Innards Found in ItalyKer Than
for National Geographic News

October 1, 2009
Long before Vesuvius blew its top and smothered Pompeii, Italy was rocked by a "supervolcano" eruption so powerful it possibly blocked out the sun and triggered prolonged global cooling, scientists say.

The now fossilized supervolcano last erupted about 280 million years ago, leaving behind an 8-mile-wide (13-kilometer-wide) caldera, which was recently discovered in the Italian Alps' Sesia Valley.


What's more, seismic forces have twisted the volcano's interior, giving scientists an unprecedented glimpse deep into the feature's explosive plumbing—and a better shot at deciphering when the next one might blow.

Lighthouse, are you concerned that these large quakes may trigger one of the super volcanos?
