New Quake where the 9.0 quake hit..

[BEER980]

Aftershocks:
Aftershocks are earthquakes that follow the largest shock of an earthquake sequence. They are smaller than the mainshock and within 1-2 fault lengths distance from the mainshock fault. Aftershocks can continue over a period of weeks, months, or years. In general, the larger the mainshock, the larger and more numerous the aftershocks, and the longer they will continue.

The original quake affected over 1000Km of an undersea ridge, so whilst the loactions of the centre of the quakes are far apart, they are directly related. I'd have called them aftershocks tbh.

Who cares at this point. Any new quakes or aftershocks continues the devastation there.

Obviosly you?? As you have been discussing it for a page and a half now

Truley sad..

A lady was just on the phone on CNN from Atlanta looking for her brother and sister-in-law on their honeymoon in Thailand. She's heard nothing at all.

Oh, no. Maybe they just haven't been able to get to a phone with all of the choas.

And your point. I am not inflaming anyone. So I don't see the problem. I see your posts go on forever, but no one complains.

Forget it.. Missed the point dude.. And im not going to argue with you in this thread.. Ill go find one of the many other ones we disagree on

[Aslkahuna]

Aftershock sequences of a major temblor tend to occur along the entire rupture zone associated with the main shock and are not completely restricted to the epicentral region. In fact, they help to define the whole rupture zone and aid greatly in the analysis of what happened during the main event and can be used to refine the magnitude determination of the main event. Aftershocks from an event of this magnitude will go on for months. It's from the initial sequence that we know the rupture occurred along a 1000km distance.

Thanks Beer, Gorky, Aslkahuna and Chad!

Aslkahuna, your meterologists right, not a geologists, volcanologists, or student of plate techtonics right? Just asking

[DoctorHurricane2003]

wthr.....it doesn't matter if he is a meteorologist or not.......most people in the meteorology background have had introductory courses in other earth science subjects. Penn State, for example, will require me to take an Earth Science Seminar next year that is inclusive of all disciplines.

I personally have always been interested in meteorology, but earth science in general really gained momentum because of the strong connections meteorology has with geology, astronomy, vulcanology, and oceanography. Since then, I have excelled in all areas of earth science in school and in national competition.

I always enjoyed Earth Science while in high school...'course I graduated in 1982...so my mind has forgotten quite a bit since then.

Does it really matter? Are you a geologist, volcanologist or a student of plate techtonics? Just asking, of course.

Lol, I was only platying and being a smart butt. Aslkahuna, I am sorry I value your opinion highly...

Same here...
