Unusual earthquake gave Japan tsunami extra punch, say Stanford scientists

Caption: This diagram shows the March 11 fault motion sequence. 1. Rupture of the fault plane begins at the epicenter. 2. Rupture travels westward, down the fault plane towards Honshu. The island suffers violent shaking for 40 seconds. 3. The upward sloping east side of the fault plane begins to rupture, continuing for 30 to 35 seconds. The sediments overlying the east side expand up the fault plane in response to the force of the rupture. 4. The water above the sediments is pushed into an unstable dome that then flows out in all directions as a tsunami.

I can't imagine and don't want to know what it felt like.

Captain Obvious!! Caaaaptaaaaain Obvioooous!?

[lefty-lie-spy]

Yes, it was an awesome experience. I wish you all could have been here.

Good explanations, good diagram.

Good explanations, good diagram.

I guess so. But I'm not too picky about these public releases as they are short treatments of complicated subjects. If they were longer to be more correct then no one would read them.

What are you doing in Tokyo?

I want to work overseas- I am a computer software engineer- got any idea how I can arrange it?

I have 3 children and want them to experience other parts of the world while they are young

Re my seeing similarity between the 2 maps—the USGS quake map for 24 May and the purported Navy sea changes map.

Not at all similar.

Thanks for your kind reply.

Thanks for your perspective.

I assume you read my narrative about what I saw as similar?

I assume you read my narrative about what I saw as similar?

This narrative in the post under the maps:

It appears to me that the line/cluster of quakes from the gulf of Baja up to about Santa Barbara . . . has a bit of a reach toward the cluster reaching down from the Western angle of Nevada.

Then there’s the scattered line/cluster from about Las Vegas up toward the South Western Corner of Wyoming.

The parameters of those clusters are not far off from the South Eastern boundary of the blue body of water concerned on the “Navy” map.

Further, the cluster/line of quakes on the coast from San Francisco up toward Oregon is on the Western edge of the finger/peninsula of land sticking down from Oregon in the Navy Map between the Eastern line/cluster of quakes near the CA/Nevada border–with no quakes in between where the finger of land is projected to extend thru.

Then you are daaixin.

You would have to ignore most of the Navy map to see an overlay.

[Quix]

Right. Was just talking about that portion.

I didn’t expect to see any similarity per se. But thought it would be fun to check. Then when I noticed those aspects . . . it was kind of . . . interesting. So, I wondered if any others could see such a similarity IN IN THAT PORTION of the “Navy” map, only.

THanks, will read tonight, I am running late this morning!

No sweat.
