So they are linked through no fault of their own.

Further proof that humans have no say so when it comes to controlling this mother earth.

“This is mostly a circumstantial case, he says. I dont have a smoking gun.
However, with a Billion $’s to study these faults, I can link them to Gorebull warming.

Makes sense though, doesn’t it? Faults activity and earthquakes are all about relieving pressures. If an adjacent fault gives in to some pressures are on it, then more pressure moves to it’s neighboring faults. On the larger scales, the plates have a small degree of elasticity to them. Combine that with frictions at the fault points, and what you have are endless series of various faults moving and elastically putting more pressure on other faults that haven’t moved.

So you are saying it is the Faults', fault!
Combine that with frictions at the fault points, and what you have are endless series of various faults moving and elastically putting more pressure on other faults that havent moved.

Thanks.
Only on free republic, can we have interesting possible scientific study interspersed with terrible faults. :)

Two major earthquakes of 8+ in the Pacific Northwest (with likely accompanying tsunamis here) and in California hitting one right after the other would be catastrophic. I see this a good horror story to tell at a conference to get the scientists all in a lather and to convince the government to give them more money.
