CALIFORNIA - SAN ANDREAS FAULT CURRENT DATA

Nice new title (if something happens before midnight, will you change it back? hehe).

MargueriteBee wrote:I grew up in the Salinas Valley and I remember the big quake in 71. The house moved four feet. Can you guys exit to the east side of the fault?

Actually I have a huge gut feeling it gonna hit big on the entire fault line, soon.

I'm going to get a ton of tp tomorrow, plus.

MargueriteBee wrote:Beautiful pictures by the way. I love Big Sur, been camping. I don't think I will be going to Brazil for awhile. After all the dust settles I'm getting on horse and go check things.

Carol wrote:These pictures bring back a lot of good memories.. We used to live in the Yosemite area for about 9 years and loved it. And our first date was a trip to Esalen, Big Sur on the full moon in the hot tubs on the cliff overlooking the ocean. Ahh, I miss the hot tubs.

Back to the global seismic monitors. It looked like the planet had a little wobble or was hit by some solar cosmic gamma rays or something as most of the monitors have a spike jump about the same time. For the most part it is harmonics... humming along. http://aslwww.cr.usgs.gov/Seismic_Data/heli2.shtml

When I worked on a statewide project for the county they had us traveling everywhere for meetings and conferences which had me frequently crisscrossing the state on a regular basis. The last couple of years there we RVed all over in our spare time and got to see even more. We left California for a number of reasons but I watched it go down the tubes when Reagan took office closing all the mental health facilities putting these people literally on the streets, the schools went from number one to the bottom of the barrel and of course all of the illegals wanted in to have babies there so they would qualify for state benefits draining the state of it's resources and not paying taxes subsequently setting California up as a welfare state. It became exceeding difficult and unfriendly for businesses (I had a business and made more money working for the county then private practice - meaning more take home at the end of the day). California was a beautiful place and is just over run by too many people who don't care about governing, the environment or each other. There is just too much of the 'material hollywood girl' mentality there, Too many gangs, too many laws, too much taxes, too little services which one can thank the illegals for most of this...

Harononics
Seismic activity (earthquakes and tremors) always occurs as volcanoes awaken and prepare to erupt and are a very important link to eruptions. Some volcanoes normally have continuing low-level seismic activity, but an increase may signal a greater likelihood of an eruption. The types of earthquakes that occur and where they start and end are also key signs. Volcanic seismicity has three major forms: short-period earthquake, long-period earthquake, and harmonic tremor.

Short-period earthquakes are like normal fault-generated earthquakes. They are caused by the fracturing of brittle rock as magma forces its way upward. These short-period earthquakes signify the growth of a magma body near the surface and are known as 'A' waves. These type of seismic events are often also referred to as Volcano-Tectonic (or VT) events or earthquakes.

Long-period earthquakes are believed to indicate increased gas pressure in a volcano's plumbing system. They are similar to the clanging sometimes heard in a house's plumbing system, which is known as "water hammer". These oscillations are the equivalent of acoustic vibrations in a chamber, in the context of magma chambers within the volcanic dome and are known as 'B' waves. These are also known as resonance waves and long period resonance events.

Harmonic tremors are often the result of magma pushing against the overlying rock below the surface.They can sometimes be strong enough to be felt as humming or buzzing by people and animals, hence the name. (Notice how many people are now noticing high pitch sounds, humming, buzzing. This is because the tectonic plates are moving and harmonics we are viewing on the global seismic monitors are planetary... not just centrally located in one area).

Patterns of seismicity are complex and often difficult to interpret; however, increasing seismic activity is a good indicator of increasing eruption risk, especially if long-period events become dominant and episodes of harmonic tremor appear.

The principle of coinciding change states that one monitored parameter alone may not yield significant symptoms to diagnose an imminent eruption, but unrelated trends of several monitored parameters may start co-evolving as the system approaches a state of instability." We also are seeing increase global volcanic activity. The global seismic monitoring system also is an indicator of magma moving to the surface world-wide which happens as the core of the planet heats up due to the increase of cosmic gamma rays and protons streaming into the earth as a result of the solar system moving into a new area of space passing through an Oort cloud on its way toward the galactic rift. When objects from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud enter the inner solar system they become comets due to interactions with the sun. Comets have a gravitational pull on the planet and set up a solar capacitor relationship with the sun which results in solar flares and increase in solar winds. (nice pics here http://www.solarsystemquick.com/kuiper_belt.htm ) The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun.The solar wind streams off of the Sun in all directions at speeds of about 400 km/s (about 1 million miles per hour). The solar wind creates the heliosphere, a vast bubble in the interstellar medium that surrounds the solar system. Other phenomena include geomagnetic storms that can knock out power grids on Earth, the aurorae (northern and southern lights), and the plasma tails of comets that always point away from the Sun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_wind

The solar wind streams off of the Sun in all directions at speeds of about 400 km/s (about 1 million miles per hour). The source of the solar wind is the Sun's hot corona. The temperature of the corona is so high that the Sun's gravity cannot hold on to it. Although we understand why this happens we do not understand the details about how and where the coronal gases are accelerated to these high velocities. This question is related to the question of coronal heating.

Solar Wind Variations

The solar wind is not uniform. Although it is always directed away from the Sun, it changes speed and carries with it magnetic clouds, interacting regions where high speed wind catches up with slow speed wind, and composition variations. The solar wind speed is high (800 km/s) over coronal holes and low (300 km/s) over streamers. These high and low speed streams interact with each other and alternately pass by the Earth as the Sun rotates. These wind speed variations buffet the Earth's magnetic field and can produce storms in the Earth's magnetosphere.

Global ocean currents help to regulate the world's climate and ..... Also, pre- seismic perturbations were recorded in the ionosphere before large quakes.
