rafael, could you explain the almost perfect grids and straight lines at the bottom of the ocean floor.
Linda_Guest,
Do you refer to these kind of lines?
Besides the ordinary sea bottom plies and crevises there are other lines which belong to auxiliary mappings grid which correspond to:
QUOTE: " * Is the sea floor really that bumpy, and what are the long, straight
lines on the ocean floor that converge on places like San Diego and
Bermuda?
The "orange-peel" look of the sea floor is mostly an artifact of the
satellite altimetry technology and its interpretation of ocean surface waves.
The straight lines are where direct shipborne measurements have been included
in the data as "ground truth". These measurements help calibrate, but do not
correspond 100 percent to the radar altimetry. See W.H.F. Smith and D.T.
Sandwell, 1997, Global Sea Floor Topography from Satellite Altimetry and Ship
Depth Soundings, Science 277 (5334), p.1956-1962."
There is an etopo map which you can access at:

My prediction of Earthquake 6:30-7:10 December 10, magnitude>8, California, failed. I overcooked it as my initial idea was only:
this year, around Christmas, California, BIG; it still holds.
But credibility in my own eyes is down by 50%, as it will be my second prediction, and first one failed.

Ivars, One thing I have learnt through years of seismicity analisys is that the EARTH does not care about predictions or dates, it has its own rythm and what for us is a century, may be a minute in earth time. However, as you say, you meant around Xmas, it may well happen tomorrow or xmas 2007, for the EARTH it doesn't really matters. (California/Mexico is still a good choice for a follow up to Kuril Is.' Big Earthquake)
Analisys shows the following posibilities for the coming months. There is still a deficit in seismicity for this year and the areas where at Big or Major earthquakes make take place are:
TONGA >8.0
INDONESIA >8.0
HIMALAYAS/ANATOLIA >8.0
MEXICO/CARIBBEAN > 7.0
CHINA > 7.0
CALIFORNIA > 7.0 (A probable second best as follow up from recent Big Earthquake)
KAMTCHAKA/ALASKA > 7.0 (This location is best choice because of recent Big Earthquake there)
NPSZ (Nazca Plate Subduction Zone or SouthAmerica) > 7.0
Much regards,
Rafael from the NPSZ

Could You please explain? Compared to what You see deficit?
I know that Earth has different time scale, but quite big shakes happen rather often even by human standards.
Predicition for 2006 Christmas (as opposed to 2007) was based on many events ( see my previous posts) which took place this Year in California and around and, in my opinion, are related to increased risk of an Earthquake.
Mainly: increasing methane release and effects related to that.

Ivars & all,
If you like I can e-mail you Xcel sheet with global seismicity. Trying to explain:
Quote seismicity by year for the last 17 years; so many >8.0, so many >7.0, so many > 6.0. Give 8's value 1000, 7's value 100, 6's value 10, (5's value 1 if you like) you will average a yearly value of 5880. So far 2006 has delivered a value of 4270 so there is a yearly deficit value of 1610, which means, on average this year is short of 1 > 8.0 and 6 > 7.0. Now we don't expect all to take place but, there is a chance that in the next 2 or 3 months a few will take place.
If you average, >8.0 in time you will find that there is one per year, 16 each > 7.0 and 140 each > 6.0.
Data for 2006 up to December 13th is :
1 each > 8.0, 8 each > 7.0 and 127 each > 6.0. So, this either a LOW year or we are in deficit or more is to come...
As to WHERE these will take place, there is another Xcel sheet into which I have defined 16 GLOBAL AREAS, such as NPSZ, Mexico/caribbean, California, Alaska/Kamtchaka, Japan/Philipines,New Guinea, Tonga Indonesia, China, Himalayas/Anatolia, India/Somalia, Mediterranean/Iceland, and the last four lesser ones, Central Atlantic, Central Pacific, Nova Scotia and, Oceania
Data for 1973-2006 (Total sum)
30 each > 8.0, 398 each > 7.0 and 698 each > 6.0, of which,
Tonga and Indonesia account for close to 20% each
Japan/philipines, New Guinea and NPSZ account to close to 10% each
Alaska/Kamtchaka 7%
Himalayas/Anatolia 6%
The rest are around 2 or 3% (California included), except for the lesser ones which are one or less than one per cent.
You can also see that there is roughly 10 each > 7.0 for each > 8.0. This rule follows for each of the Global Areas. So I deduct that if an area has 2 each > 8.0 and only 7 each > 7.0 there is a better chance of a 7' taking place than an 8' (or the rule needs to be reassesed) The same deduction for an area which has 77 each > 7.0 and only 5 > 8.0. Thsi area has a higher probability of receiving an 8'.
Not very complicated, but helpful. I suppose the values could be more accurate if a 6.4 Magnitud is worth 140 instead of 100 and an 8.4 magn. is worth 1400 instead of 1000, but... (The logarithmic formula is kind of complicated for me to fit into xcel)

Thank You,Rafael
I have further questions:
And how this load 5580 is distributed over months? Any periodicity? Is there any biger , longer load which seems to be constant over longer periods of time? How big deviations could happen in any given year?
Given what You say, approx 1500 is missing.
Where is biggest part of released earthquake energy is concentrated? In few big earthquakes or in thousands/millions of small size earthquakes?

Manged to fit this part for now. This is global for las 17 years. I have made global graphs for 100 years and in these you can clearly see periods of increased seismicity, periods of little seismicity with peaks and lows. Globally we seem to be on or near a peak (remember Sumatra was a 9.0 Mw earthquake which is like 10 ea. magn. 8.0 Mw. These three columns belong to the right of the upper table.

Here's part of the other table (1973-2006) In the last 34 years the NPSZ has had 3ea >8.0 and 37ea > 7.0 for roughly 10% of world seismicity. This is so even for the last 100 years and I suppose there might be periods of lesser or bigger deviations but to keep track of the present, lets use the last 34 years for which data is FAR MORE DEPENDABLE than the years before. If I count earhquakes in the NPSZ for 150 years I come to 1ea for every 8 years, although not regularly but compressed and extended in time, so I can asssume there is not much probability of an 8' (since there have been 3 in 7 years, compressed)but there will be when 7's are far more than 37, lets say 47, which is the case of Japan, Tonga and Philipines where at you can count far more 7's than the normal relation of 1 7' per each 8'.
The last part of your questions seems to me that is self addressed once you put magnitudes into the xcel sheet. Take 1993. Of the total value, 20% is the 8' and 30% each for 7's, 6's and 5's. As the relationship decreases from 10 towards the lower magnitudes, I would not expect them to make a significant difference as bigger ones rule the relation.

Sorry for bursting bubbles guys but the havoc and land movement of whats named Earth Quake comes from a tone of sound interacting with the Earths Magnetic field.
Simply go out and dig holes, insert a listening device, record the tone of sound of a large quake. Once you have the tone pegged install these at strategic places around the globe.
Monitoring sound as it approaches a damaging tone gives ample warning to a catastrophic Earth Quake.
My science of this was relayed to Pacific Geo Science Centre and I understand that this filtered down to Stanford University. At Depth SAFOD Earth Scope
The results of this has the US government spending hundreds of millions for drilling and I understand that Japan has now manufactured a ship for ocean drilling.
PS It is magnetic sound energy that promotes a tsunami and yes that amount of energy promotes what is called a devastating Earth Quake.

Bruce Voigt,
I don't think you've "burst anyone's bubbles" here, except, perhaps your own.
Rafael is giving statistical analysis of past EQ's to better predict the probability of future quakes. There's going to be "a lot of holes to dig", don't you think? It would be nice to have a list of WHERE TO START digging!
I am giving the SOURCE for your "sound" (EQ frequencies), giving ADVANCE warning to the "sound" itself. Did you consider WHERE this "sound" comes from?
Ivars instinctively "heard" the "sound" before I could even monitor it. He may not have predicted an EQ (yet), but HE DID sense the LARGEST solar storm we've had in quite some time. In case you missed the headlines, this ENERGY blasted the West coast of the US, knocking out power to millions of homes.
We need a cohesive plan to achieve accurate EQ prediction, not "bubble bursting" attitude. Your idea, while "sound", will not do this all by itself.

A tsunami originating in British Columbia's interior that would wipe out thousands of miles including two nuclear power plants could easily be aborted if an early advanced prediction of an Earth Quake could be made.
Drilling a hole and monitoring sound in the Nakusp area would be a good plan. Nakusp is on the Arrow Lakes (part of the Columbia River system). Between Nakusp and Revolstoke there exists Geo Activity (hot springs) and its this area that could produce the tone of sound needed to activate a strong Earth Quake.
Early detection would allow the time needed to lower Revelstokes Dam Reservoir. Thus avoiding a interior tsunami.
At this time a Drilling rig is active on the San Andreas Fault and the US gov has put aside hundreds of millions of dollars for drilling to take place along the Pacific Coast (three holes to be drilled on Vancouver Island).
Post script -- There is not a reaction made that does not create Sound.

Minor quake rattles nerves in East Bay
MediaNews staff and wire reports
A minor earthquake rattled the East Bay Wednesday evening, tweaking a few nerves but causing no damage.
Initial reports from the U.S. Geologic Survey Earthquake Hazards Program rated the 7:12 p.m. quake at magnitude 3.7, centered two miles east southeast of Berkeley and six miles below the earth's surface.
``Some of us felt it and some of us didn't,'' said Cedric Price, spokesman for the Oakland Fire Department ``We all heard it; it sounded like a freight train.''
Many residents called authorities to report what they'd felt and ask questions, but East Bay police and fire departments reported no injuries or damage after the quake.
The quake was centered in the Hayward fault zone, which runs from the Bay off of North Richmond, through Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward and Fremont and runs several miles to the southeast of San Jose. Geologists believe the fault is due for a large quake in the potentially lethal 6.7 to 7.0 range.
``It's a pretty small earthquake, but just another reminder we're eventually going to have the biggie here in the Bay Area,'' said David P. Schwartz, who has studied the Hayward Fault extensively as chief of the U.S. Geological Survey's Bay Area Earthquake Hazards Project.
The Great Quake of 1868 struck on the Hayward Fault, a magnitude 6.9 rumbler that killed five people. Severe quakes have happened on the Hayward Fault every 151 years, give or take 23 years, meaning it is now into the danger zone.

Hi Callie,
Congratulations! How about that - you just about got it on the nose. I think you might want to hang on to your higher magnitudes - I believe we may just be in for a ride!
Some Geologists may say that this weeks M3.7's and the M3.5 today aren't that big of a deal. They might use the term "swarm" which sounds more like a irritation rather than a matter to be concerned about. I'd like to have David Schwartz (USGS, Menlo Park, CA) give us his feedback. He said the Hayward Fault is likely is quake MUCH sooner than USGS estimated. [David If you can, please give me a call at the phone number below. Thank you.]
HOWEVER I think we need to pay SERIOUS attention to these quakes for they very well may be a EARLY WARNING SIGNS we may be approaching a failure on the HAYWARD FAULT (WHICH IS DUE FOR A MAJOR QUAKE) and/or near-by faults in the Bay Area.
Again, the significance of these jolts are their epicenter & hypo-center - Most specifically DIRECTLY on the HAYWARD FAULT. [see below.]

INFORMATION has just been received that a double earthquake, of magnitudes 7.0 and 7.2, has taken place in the Taiwan area. Prelininary parameters for these events are:
DATE - TIME (UTC) - LATITUDE-LONG-DEPTH-MAGNITUDE
2006/12/26 12:34:14 22.023 120.539 10.0 7.0 Mw
2006/12/26 12:26:22 21.818 120.534 10.0 7.1 Mw
The earthquakes, took place some 8 minutes apart and very near to each other (some 22 Kms) at a depth of 10 Kms, which place them at the southern tip of Taiwan and at oceanic crust depth.

The only possible precursor to this latest Big Earthquake in the above listing may be event 2006 12 14 at a depth of 65 Km or maybe, the fact that after Big Earthquake Kuril 1 (Nov. 15th) most of the strong afterquakes fall in the aproximate coordinates of the Kuril 2 Big Earthquake. Apart from that, the remaining deficit of seismicity from 2006, as explained a few days ago.
Enjoy thinking!

All,
The long list, posted on Jan 14th, of earthquakes > 5.0 magnitude, shows a particularity worth noting for future prediction. I include here earthquakes > 5.0 magnitude for the six months prior to June 22nd 2006. It only shows 4 such earthquakes (and the June 22nd event):

PDE-W 2006 06 22 105311.57 45.42 149.34 95 6.10 mb GS 3F ....... 292
It shows there is NO CONTINUOUS ACTIVITY near the 46 north 153 east coordinates in the six months previous to a swarm.
ACTIVITY near the location of next to be Kuril1 and Kuril2 Big Earthquakes starts with one event on August 14th, and then, the precursory activity starts on September 26th with 18 earthquakes in five days, including 3 strong earthquakes (6.6 Mw, 6.0 Mw and 6.6 Mw), a three day silence, then a couple more (Oct 4th), a nine day silence, then 3 more including a 6.3 Mw magnitude (Oct 13th), the NO MORE EARTHQUAKES at the 46-153 location.
After a 30 day silence, acitvity restarts at the 46-153 location on November 13th. THIS IS THE CRITICAL MOMENT, will it continue to die out or will it continue to stronger activity? On November 15th a moderate 5.0 magnitude takes place a few kilometers away from Kuril 1, which takes place less than a minute afterwards.
I have seen this kind of sequential activity before a Major or Big Earthquakes not once but several times... The sequence could be defined as a SWARM because activity is not decaying naturaly but is instead an increase-decrease, sequence-silence-sequence- sort of burst. If I'm allowed to get poetic "you could hear the cracks in the branch before it broke altogether".

powers that be don't want us to know facts because of our supposed panic, therefore scientists should not be furious that governments don't publicly acknowledge credible earthquake predictors, those same governments are preplanning tactics for mass evacuations

Guest_Linda, All,
I have added the following LINK to a GLOBAL SEISMICITY MAP showing all 33 Big Earthquakes for the last 34 years (1973-2006)
http://sismomundo.blogspot.com/You will be able to see that all, but 4, big earthquakes fall in TRENCHES of SUBDUCTION ZONES. (If you add 33 more years , 1940-1972, the pattern holds) Also, you should be able to see the three seismicity branches that are born out of coordinates 0, 135. One going west to SUMATRA-HIMALAYAS, one going north to JAPAN-ALASKA and one going east to NEW GUINEA-TONGA. These three areas, PLUS South America, account for most of global seismicity.

these are elementary, but have they been answered: like the question, which came first the chicken or the egg, which comes first the shallow movement or the deep movement? these plates have teeth edges of rock, a gear edge if you will, what is the observed movement of other plates to the moving plate?
rafael peralta
11th February 2007 - 09:55 PM
Guest_linda, Will give a quick answer. I believe the extra deep earthquakes comes first, liquifaction or melting occurs, which makes room for the plate to subduct. However, the plate does not move quickly or right away, it will keep gathering momentum until the "teeth" let go, then it moves. The upper (continental plate in the NPSZ case) plate accomodates to the movement by trembling and advancing in the contrary direction, and by growing in height.
Remember the continental plate is being pushed west by the spreading of the Mid Atlantic Ridge, while the Nazca Plate is being pushed east by (the spreading of) the Mid Pacific Ridge

the sun has been blasting the earth with the results of strong sunspots, messing with the magnetic field around and probably within the earth, messing, no doubt, with the intricate honing abilities of sea life, bees, most likely birds, and probably the molten layer below the crust, churning it in ways that move, split, and upend tectonic plates. just a quess.

FRIDAY - 20 JULY 2007 - 4:42 am - 9 second blast and rumble -
the longest quake - centered in Oakland-Berkeley Hills
Are these blasting hot gases surfacing in places where the
fault opens??? Like the geysers???
http://world-cultures.tripod.com/global-warming/At the SF station it measured 4.2 but it was much stronger
in the Berkeley Hills area where we have no measurement tools.
(some china fell out of the cabinet and broke.)
