Before Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull volcano blew its top in April, spewing thick clouds of ash, the earth around it had already started rumbling, and geologists began warning about an impending eruption.
The close geological connection is rooted in the
The latest figures on the earthquake that struck Japan on Friday suggest that, despite all the headlines, it was actually surprisingly small.That is, the area of fault that ruptured was small – somewhere between 300 and 400 kilometres long. By comparison, the
As tsunami waves travel across ocean basins they are only inches high, but extend down to the ocean floor (unlike traditional waves which are only surface features). As the tsunami waves approaches the coast, the shallowing ocean floor pushes the water mass upwards.
A new geology theory featuring impact-powered rapid continental drift as an alternative to plate tectonics. The key to creation geology.In “Beyond Plate Tectonics: ‘Plate Dynamics'” author Richard Moody, Jr. tweaks the systematics of orthodox plate tectonics while
The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.”At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI
CNN iReporter Brent Kooi catches the earth moving and cracking beneath his feet as the quake strikes Japan. Ground shift, water seeps from the cracks, liquifaction. This we see here is land breaking up into segments. This land is supported by water it seems.
The impact of the earthquake that hit Japan this morning shifted the earth’s rotation axis is nearly 10 cm. It’s the preliminary result of studies carried out by INGV, National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. According to Richard Gross, a geophysicist at
Almost simultaneously with the strong shock that hit Japan and triggered a giant tsunami in the Pacific, two russian Kamchatka volcanoes erupted. Kizimen and Sheveluch eruptions were accompanied by earthquakes. Ash plume rise 7km above crater. According to Russian
Japan’s quake updated to magnitude 9.0Seismologists at the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California, have just revised their calculations regarding the magnitude of today’s quake. They now say it was magnitude 9.0. Already one of the top 10 recorded earthquakes
