This is worrisome:
I've seen this notice before.
Shake rattle and roll.
Could it be that earthquakes help to refill geological hydrocarbon reservoirs?
1) We’re doomed!
2) Global warming
3) Bush’s fault
You can post and flee at the same time? Now THAT is multitasking.
Wow! just wow.......
The creos that deny evolution can’t deny the geologic evolution...... the plates are definitively shown

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.
How many times are earthquakes mentioned in the book of Revelation?
How long have we had the ability to detect earthquakes at the level we can now?
ummmm
catastophism is proof of Noah’s flood more than a grape seed becoming a mammal
just sayin...
Heck. I’ve even posted that we’re having an earthquake before the ground stopped shaking.
I dared put it in “breaking” and the Mod Squad nuked it.
What’s more breaking than an earthquake in progress????
Some shift moderators have a totally inexplicable definition of Breaking News.
There are millions of earthquakes all over the world every day.
It just seems lately they are in more populated areas abnd thus are reported more.
Windows virus ??
The nuclear capability of the mods.

Flosting. If you tweet it is flittering...
Modern seismography appears to date back to the mid-30s with the vertical seismograph devised by Lucien LaCoste, IINM.
