Was this also caused by global warming?

Hope our military folks on Okinawa are OK- also all the inhabitants there
To: U.S. West Coast, Alaska, and British Columbia coastal regions
From: NOAA/NWS/West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center
Subject: Tsunami Information Statement #1 issued 02/26/2010 at 12:45PM PST
A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning, watch or advisory is in effect for these areas.
Based on the earthquake magnitude and historic tsunami records, a damaging tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts. At coastal locations which have experienced strong ground shaking, local tsunamis are possible due to underwater landslides.
At 12:31 PM Pacific Standard Time on February 26, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 7.3 occurred near the Ryukyu Islands, Japan . (Refer to the United States Geological Survey for official earthquake parameters.)
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii will issue messages for Hawaii and other areas of the Pacific outside California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska.
This will be the only statement issued for this event by the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center unless conditions warrant. See the WCATWC web site for basic tsunami information, safety rules, and a tsunami travel time map and table. (NOTE: Travel time maps and tables indicate forecasted times only, not that a wave was generated.)
Bammy must’ve found Bush’s earthquake machine in the Whitey House basement. Retaliation on Toy-yoda no doubt.
Ernest I just uploaded this little map of Japan I had onto tiny pic. I will look for a larger one.
Ryukyu Islands - I lived om Miyako Jima for a year. Great place, great memories.
earthquakes travel in a line around the Ring of Fire - and, on land, often follow a couple weeks after a lot or rain that sinks down deep making mud that acts as a lubricant which then allows the ‘hung up’ sections to slip.
The earthquakes has been coming steadily up the ring - Calif is in the path..
Calif. is overdue.
Glad I got outta there.

Here is some interesting material I found on Japan's Prediction Research Center site.
Before the election debacle in 2008, I was wondering why the USGS person responsible for posting twitter updates spent a significant portion of time promoting the candidate turned current so-called CIC living in the White House. If USGS is funded at all by taxpayer money, it's long past time for an overhaul of that agency.
Large earthquakes repeatedly occur along a large-scale fault, and the entire recurrence process includes the following stages:
An earthquake cannot occur without any accumulation of the elastic strain energy in the medium surrounding the fault. In this sense, stage (II) may be regarded as the preparatory process in a broad sense, which is characterized by the process of elastic deformation. In this stage, tectonic stress level is below critical, and the amount of the stored strain energy is insufficient to cause the ensuing large earthquake on the same fault. As the tectonic stress continues to build up, the stress eventually reaches a critical level. At this final preparatory stage (III), an enough amount of the strain energy has been stored. Laboratory studies demonstrate that local concentration of deformation inevitably occurs and rupture begins to nucleate if the fault is characterized by mechanical and/or structural inhomogeneity. The nucleation may be accelerated by a triggering effect of stress transfer due to fault-fault interaction. Fluid-solid rock interaction may be activated at this stage as well because of high tectonic stress, and the nucleation may also be accelerated by activation of the fluid-rock interaction. In spite of these possible accelerating effects, a large earthquake will be preceded by a slow growth of the nucleation, though the time to the ensuing earthquake may be shortened by these possible effects. This stage may be regarded as the preparatory process in a narrow sense. The process of earthquake dynamic rupture during which short-period seismic waves are generated is characterized by rapid stress drop with ongoing slip on the fault, and almost complete release of the stored strain energy. The phase of rupture arrest and its aftereffect are characterized by time-dependent stress relaxation and stress transfer, and as a consequence, aftershocks and aftereffect of crustal deformation follow. |
Thanks BD...Following
Just noticed this on the World site USGS and hadn’t heard about it yet...was at the Dr. so no news!
Thanks for the thread bd...
I check the earthquake site...once or twice a hour every single day.
