The Dark Lord Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Didn't Taiwan just experience a 6.4 magnitude earthquake? Doesn't it seem that we're having more earthquakes than normal, or am I just paranoid? It seems that we have major earthquakes within a year of each other, and in the 20th century, we had major earthquakes about 10-30 years apart from each other... Could some climate change be causing this? SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romy Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 i think it's ridiculous. how can you even measure such a miniscule amount as 3 inches when the scale of the earth to the cosmos is [bleep]in huge? it's probably hosh posh, and whatever will i do without 1.3 milliseconds?! On the first video the guy said it wasn't measured with scales or anything like that, but with some very complicated equations, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 This makes me wonder if a more powerful earthquake could have bigger impacts. I was thinking jump-starting a magnetic pole reversal. It's supposed to happen fairly soon (in Earth time). Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might think 1.4 microseconds of change is way too insignificant, but if we take it to the long term, it actually is significant.

H2PM Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 a fraction of a second seems really insignificant, but thinking that an earthquake shifted the axis at all is amazing. Who knows? Maybe this will correct global warming. I always knew Earth could fix itself. :DOkay how does making the earth tilt one way correct global warming...?

Could some climate change be causing this?Depends on how you define major. Wikipedia lists 55 earthquakes in Taiwan of >6.0 magnitude between 1900 and 2006. And earthquake documentation is improving - 100 years ago, a 6.4 in the middle of Taiwan might not have been noted down. It was part of the mysterious Japanese empire, 12 people were injured, and there was no obvious fault line (I don't think). But today, I'm sure there's some computer or something that documented it. A seismograph. I don't know.And 1.3 ms or whatever is huge, guys. It takes me like 60 ms to load a website. At least I think that ms is referring to microseconds.

Could some climate change be causing this? Not really, earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics which are driven by internal convection currents in the mantle. Besides, assuming large-ish earthquakes are random events in the sense that their precise periodicity isn't particularly well known, then a sudden clump of earthquakes could just be a coincidence. That's how random processes work, people expect a uniform distribution of events over time/space to be random when in reality they might just as easily clump together.
