I´m not making up a conspiracy theory Elisabeth....it´s a simple fact if you pull a book from the bottom of the pile, the other books will shift positon. It happens over and over. Have you ever been to the market and seen how oranges or apples are displayed? You don´t take the one from the bottom, you take the ones on the top.  If you have a frozen item that is partly liquid, like on the bottom, and you remove part of the bottom liquid, the top has to shift....just the way things work. This has nothing to do with religion....

This is like saying I will die sometime  so I should start to panic now. If you look in history they have occurred in the earliest written time. Part of nature the same way it rains/snows or is a sunny day. True with internet and better ways of getting world news to everyone you can be in the zone at the time it occurred. 50 years ago you would read a blurb in your local newspaper about someones death or some catastrophic event. Now we can text, photo and relay it to all as it happens. What you are saying is a normal occurance and no more or less than 50 years ago. Even equipment for measuring has improved that is why you get readings of higher numbers. We just hear about it and get to see the graphic details. Sort of like now on utube you can watch footage of actual wars occurring right now.    pffffft lets get on with life

Death is inevitable....none of us will escape it....so who is in a panic? Face it and get on with the business of living your life....that does not eliminate the value of an analysis of current  events, particularly those that impact oneself.

What is the saying....a life unexamined is a life................???

keep running up hill both ways lol

all i was saying is you alerting this as something new is old news : About 4.5 billion years ago, when the earth cooled enough to have a solid crust.

This is a continuous beause of the formation of earth

switch yourself from many info sources and i bet next day you will live in very peaceful world.

if you live somewhere in small village in europe you wont know about earthquake, tsunami, flood etc. make sure your neighbours do the same and you again will believe this Earth still has millions years ahead...

I wasn´t referring to you with respect to religion and I just don´t agree with you that man is affecting earthquakes.   

It is your interpretation that this was an "alert"....rather than a simple observation of facts. 

The universe is not static, things change all the time. This second is not like the last, or like the others yet to appear.

I have seen species go extinct, new ones discovered.  Right now I can´t get wild salmon because of things done to the water ways here. When I was a child they were abundant. Now they are endangered. The eagle was almost extinct because of human activities. Water has had to be rationed because it was squandered.....all these events took place because of human activity. ....so I advocate for reflection and analysis of current events and possible causes.  

I am thinking about things.....and questioning.

Fair enough Elisabeth....

BTW....I was at a estate sale this weekend and saw a cute vintage little box with Texas and star shaped cookie cutters....thought of you. It was cute.....I guess you could make a bunch of Texas and star shaped cookies....I didn´t get it...

wow. you have an imagination there!

where the hell you took out the number 4.5 billions? outa hat? were you there when the earth cooled down?

how about running up hills now?

 hahaha...I have cookie cuters in the shape of the state of Texas, a flag and some stars!  I always make Texas cookies for "Go Texan Day" which is always the last Friday of the Houston Rodeo!  They go great as desert for the Chili cook off!

The earth has been studied by geologist, paleontologist  and stratigraphers who have been able to determing the relative order and growth of rocks using radiometri dating to verify a time scale, hence my reasoning for 4.5 billion years give or take a few years. So far, rocks older than 3.0 billion years have been found in North America, India, Russia, Greenland, Australia, and Africa. The oldest rocks in North America, found in Minnesota, give a U-Pb discordia age of 3.56 billion years.

Each year the southern California area has about 10,000 earthquakes. Most of them are so small that they are not felt. Only several hundred are greater than magnitude 3.0, and only about 15-20 are greater than magnitude 4.0. If there is a large earthquake, however, the aftershock sequence will produce many more earthquakes of all magnitudes for many months.
