Nothing to fear but fear itself."The world is like a ride in an amusement park and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and around and around and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud. And it's fun - for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question; is this real? Or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, and they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because... this is just a ride." IP: Logged |

There has been a surge in them lately. It's been a while since I've felt a real good earth shaker here in AK. Although we do have tremors numerous times daily all around the state. Volcanos on the Aluetian Islands have been active as well. Not to mention the most recent one that erupted in Yemen. We did just pass a full moon too ... which always seems to coincide with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. IP: Logged |

I'm actually lucky. We don't have earthquakes where I live. (well one approximately every 100 years or so) The last one was 102 years ago, so maaaybe. I certainly hope we won't have one because the experts say that the half of the city (the capitol) is built on sand and might very well colapse. Especially seeing as the city is by the water and a tsunami might very well follow. The royal family will have their own beach lol. Earthquakes are some nasty stuff. IP: Logged |

Are Earthquakes Really on the Increase?We continue to be asked by many people throughout the world if earthquakes are on the increase. Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant. A partial explanation may lie in the fact that in the last twenty years, we have definitely had an increase in the number of earthquakes we have been able to locate each year. This is because of the tremendous increase in the number of seismograph stations in the world and the many improvements in global communications. In 1931, there were about 350 stations operating in the world; today, there are more than 8,000 stations and the data now comes in rapidly from these stations by electronic mail, internet and satellite. This increase in the number of stations and the more timely receipt of data has allowed us and other seismological centers to locate earthquakes more rapidly and to locate many small earthquakes which were undetected in earlier years. The NEIC now locates about 20,000 earthquakes each year or approximately 50 per day. Also, because of the improvements in communications and the increased interest in the environment and natural disasters, the public now learns about more earthquakes. According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 17 major earthquakes (7.0 - 7.9) and one great earthquake (8.0 or above) in any given year. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/topics/increase_in_earthquakes.php Earthquake Facts and Statistics Frequency of Occurrence of Earthquakes Magnitude Average Annually

Change Ground Motion Change

Change
1.0 10.0 times about 32 times
0.5 3.2 times about 5.5 times
0.3 2.0 times about 3 times
0.1 1.3 times about 1.4 times This table shows that a magnitude 7.2 earthquake produces 10 times more ground motion than a magnitude 6.2 earthquake, but it releases about 32 times more energy. The energy release best indicates the destructive power of an earthquake. See: How much bigger is a magnitude 8.7 earthquake than a magnitude 5.8 earthquake? The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes. The NEIC now locates about 50 earthquakes each day, or about 20,000 a year. As more and more seismographs are installed in the world, more earthquakes can be and have been located. However, the number of large earthquakes (magnitude 6.0 and greater) have stayed relatively constant. See: Are Earthquakes Really on the Increase? Number of Earthquakes Worldwide for 2000 - 2007

Earthquake Facts and Statistics http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/eqlists/eqstats.html#table_2
see above link for charts. Earthquake Information for the 1990s Graphs of Earthquake Statistics We detect, but generally do not locate, about 50 mine blasts (explosions) throughout the United States on any given business day. These blasts typically occur between noon and 6 PM local time Monday through Saturday. Of these, about one event every two days is large enough that we compute a location for the blast and post it to a separate
explosions listing. http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/eqlists/eqstats.html#table_2 ------------------
