8.0 earthquake sinks the ocean Ice Shelf falls apart again Ward Hunt. Rallies are a joke

Noticing a Magnitude-8.0 Earthquake Months Later Noticing a Magnitude-8.0 Earthquake Months Later
To the amazement of seismologists, they missed a magnitude-8.0 earthquake last year.
"It is sort of shocking," said Thorne Lay, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who led a team that uncovered the seismic fingerprints months later. "If we hadn't done the careful analysis, we would have missed it."
Magnitude-8 earthquakes are known as great earthquakes for their ferocious destructive power, and networks of seismometers can pinpoint much smaller earthquakes.
In this case, however, the great earthquake was hidden by a greater quake.
The greater earthquake, of magnitude 8.1, struck Sept. 29, 2009, off the Samoa Islands in the Pacific. That in itself was a surprise to seismologists, because there have not been any known magnitude-8 earthquakes around the Tonga trench, where the Pacific plate slips beneath the Australian plate, leading seismologists to believe that the fault there is well lubricated and does not build up enough stress to generate great earthquakes.
Still, the two tectonic plates are speeding toward each other there faster than anywhere else in the world, some 10 inches a year.
The resulting tsunami, which swept into Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga, killing more than 100 people, also puzzled scientists.
The magnitude-8.1 earthquake did not occur at the plate boundary, but to the east where a fault within the Pacific plate pulled apart.
That kind of earthquake pushes up the seafloor and could readily generate a tsunami, but the initial wave would have been a trough as the seafloor dropped downward. Instead, some deep-ocean tsunami sensors detected the initial wave as a crest.
Examining data from global positioning satellite markers, John Beavan, a geophysicist at GNS Science in New Zealand, a government-owned research institute, and his colleagues found that Niuatoputapu, a small Tonga island, had jumped about 16 inches to the east instead of the expected movement of less than an inch to the southwest.
The position of Niuatoputapu — and the initial tsunami crest — could be explained if there was an almost simultaneous quake of magnitude 8.0 caused by an upward-thrusting fault in the Tonga trench.

they missed a 8.0 earthquake or two 7.8 earthquakes that sank the ocean floor. like I've been telling you nice people. The Ward Hunt ice shielf drops more ice this month on top of the 100 sq. miles of ice lost earlyer this month from green land. also washington side show. what a joke

Sometime earlier this month, a Bermuda-sized ice island broke free from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf along the northern coast of Canada's Ellesmere Island.

The breakup on this ice shelf continued a years-long pattern of retreat on the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, and a decades-long pattern of retreat of the ice shelves along the Ellesmere coast in the high Arctic.

NASA's Aqua satellite detected fractures on the shelf on Aug. 18. Compared to images of the ice shelf from eight years earlier, the fractures show the dramatic change to the coast.

The fractures on the shelf in 2010 are immediately south and east of Ward Hunt Island, and a large chunk of ice appears to be floating free from the shelf immediately east-northeast of the island. Although the ice shelf appears larger west-northwest of Ward Hunt Island in 2010, the larger area of ice is due to sea ice temporarily attached and frozen to the ice shelf. South of the ice shelf, fjords that are covered with ice in 2002 are largely free of ice in 2010.

The mud volcano is fascinating and disturbing. Thank you. Dogma, doctrines, division, can't bear it ! You have stood the test of fire, and folks will just have to respect you for that. None of us, not one, think or believe identically. This is no accident, God don't make accidents. We are to work together with different views, IMO.

@phnixlady Truth sis. looks like they can't see the tree's from their forest face! hahaha my bad I just had to say it. Love Scott (BUG)

[calixtesaint]

You speak the truth.

Love to you too Scott!

@calixtesaint thank you. Love Scott (BUG) God Bless you!!

Go away and have a shave you scruffy dog !!!

All we realy have is each other ! thank bug.

it takes more than sarah palin and glen beck to change America. It takes Americans to stop in their tracks, and start taking care of themselves. Stop depending on Gov. America is being dragged to NWO. Obama is taking EU/USA/CANADA and Ahmadinjead is taking the Middle East, to NWO. If americans stomp over the gov. we could stop it, forget your ball games that is distraction to keep ur eyes off what gov is doing. USA needs some guts to fight again

I am so sorry, I made a huge identity mistake. I thought Scott was my ex. I really did! He looks just like him. I am so very sorry for the mistake. Please everyone...

WARNING: I made a mistake. I really thought Scott was my ex Steve T. I am so sorry! My ex really did the things I wrote. I was really trying to warn people not to trust Steve. Scott looks so much like my ex!!!!! sorry from eternityandforever

@eternityandforever hey troll- i wandered by your site, and FUNNY THING! you don't exist!!! hey kids- this guy is not for real, but funny thing, he's too good to be a troll- he's one of the 5000 monkeys, he's a gov't stooge complete with ankle bracelet and ugly gov't. buddy. 1st lesson on how to find trolls 1. they never use their own site[they don't want to be found] you can often track them farther than this 1st site, some make it easier than others, at least this one is trying to test me
