By Lance Winslow Earthquakes in 2005 set the pace early on, even days before 2005 got underway, as the Sumatra Earthquake created such an incredible landscape change that it sent a Tsunami barreling to shore in Indonesia. This Earthquake had 5.0 or greater aftershocks for six months. But that was hardly the only Earthquakes on our globe in 2005. Japan, which usually sees lots of seismic activity had nearly twice as many as usual. In Pakistan near the Kashmir Border 79,000 people lost their lives in 2005. There were also major Earthquakes in Peru, Columbia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and the Caribbean along with the Volcanic Activity, which follows and precedes such natural disasters in that region. We have seen Earthquake swarms around and near Mt. St. Helen minor eruption, as well and some notable activity in Earthquake prone California. Scientists are predicting that 2006 will be a year of many Earthquakes and forewarn us of overdo timelines for Mexico City, San Francisco Bay Area, Alaska, Seattle and outside Memphis, TN. Of course even though we are learning so much from our studies of Earthquake both from CalTech and University of Tokyo, Japan; scientists still cannot pinpoint when these quakes will happen, only that they will. In studying these quakes and volcanic counterparts, Geo Scientists are pretty certain that the Earthquake trends of 2005 will continue and increase throughout 2006. There will be some large quakes this year. Think on this. "Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.

Recent Sumatra earthquakes precursor to probable mega Volcano in 2012 that can end human civilization
   Source: IndiaDaily Toba in Sumatra experienced the massive volcano of VEI 8.0 – super volcano 74,000 years back. The deep Java trench marks the line where the Indo-Astralian plate subducts, i.e. slips under, the section of the Eurasian plate on which Indonesia sits. While sinking, the Indo-Australian plate heats up and its water content turns to superheated steam under enormous pressure. Prodigious energies are generated and the volcanoes on the fault line release a part of these energies. The speed of that push is 70 mm (2.75 in.) per year, adding up to more than 5 km (3.1 miles) in the 73,000 years since the last major Toba eruption. According to computer models, somewhere near Toba, along the fault line there may be another super volcano getting ready for eruption. 3.1 mile sinking of Indo-Australian plate under the Euresian Plate in the last 74,000 years has created enough magma for a super volcano. The recent series of volcanoes in that area have increased the level of alarm. Some of the quakes mistaken as aftershocks were harmonic tremors signifying lava movements. If Toba or along Toba the volcanic eruption take place, it can bring the human civilization to its knees. This has the potential 3000 cubic Kilometer of eruption. That can be so devastating that earth may experience a drop in temperature of 30degrees Fahrenheit for many years. It can actually larger than the one Toba experienced 74,000 years back. Simultaneous Terrestrial and Solar polar reversal in 2012 accompanied by recent tectonic movement as well as harmonic tremor in the area shows high probability of a mega volcano in 2012 in that area. |
