Earthquake??? Here???

[Mike Teacher]

hey I know they happen around these parts, so I have WCBS radio in the background and I heard something about an earthquake in Hunterdon County, NJ at 2:24pm, measuring 3.8 on the richter scale?

Anyone???

Beuller???

measuring 3.8 on the richter scale

Thats nothing compared to the 5.1 one they had last month

A 3.8? I've had more powerful bowel movements.

The last ice age, which ended around 20,000 years ago, had a large portion of the oceans water frozen upon the land as ice! The weight of this ice actually pressed the continent slightly into the mantle and the continent has been slowly rebounding ever since. When we get earthquakes here, its just the normally slow lifting suddenly getting a little push upward. You can see by this map of 20,000 yrs ago that NY and NJ were under the ice!

ooo i get it. so nj has still got the chills from all that ice! never would've thought of that. you're good. o you're very good...

the ramapo fault is one of the bigger faults on the east coast. indian point nuclear power plant is built right on the fault line, brilliant planning on their point says i

Hey, don't feel TOO bad, guys.

All of us in the rest of the country would, like, TOTALLY feel sad for a whole week!

actually, earthquakes occur more around here the last few years. last summer, ringwood had 2 earthquakes. but ours never usually get above 2, 2.5, which basically means unless your right onto of the quake, you dont feel it. even if you are right on it, you wont always feel it.
And yes, the whole east coast is a fault line just like the west coast. its the other side our our techtonic(sp) plate, that california fault is the other side of the plate. ours just doesnt build up as much for some reason

Earthquakes may endanger New York more than formerly believed (http://www.physorg.com/news138591421.html)

A study by a group of prominent seismologists suggests that a pattern of subtle but active faults makes the risk of earthquakes to the New York City area substantially greater than formerly believed. Among other things, they say that the controversial Indian Point nuclear power plants, 24 miles north of the city, sit astride the previously unidentified intersection of two active seismic zones. The paper appears in the current issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America.

The authors compiled a catalog of all 383 known earthquakes from 1677 to 2007 in a 15,000-square-mile area around New York City. Coauthor John Armbruster estimated sizes and locations of dozens of events before 1930 by combing newspaper accounts and other records. The researchers say magnitude 5 quakes—strong enough to cause damage--occurred in 1737, 1783 and 1884. There was little settlement around to be hurt by the first two quakes, whose locations are vague due to a lack of good accounts; but the last, thought to be centered under the seabed somewhere between Brooklyn and Sandy Hook, toppled chimneys across the city and New Jersey, and panicked bathers at Coney Island. Based on this, the researchers say such quakes should be routinely expected, on average, about every 100 years. "Today, with so many more buildings and people, a magnitude 5 centered below the city would be extremely attention-getting," said Armbruster. "We'd see billions in damage, with some brick buildings falling. People would probably be killed."

We're overdue!!

Wow. Major necro-bump.

The fact that Doylestown, PA had a 2.1 Earthquake, which I think originated in NJ, is pretty crazy. It's like NY, PA, and NJ are sinking......or it will combine to form New Pennsyorkyjers.

Earthquakes Never End, Say Scientists (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientists-unearth-evidence-of-centuriesold-aftershocks-1814689.html)

Some of the most violent earthquakes that have occurred unexpectedly in places with no recent record of tremors may be the aftershocks of previous earthquakes that took place decades or even centuries ago, scientists have discovered.

Earthquakes usually occur at the boundary of two or more tectonic plates – the massive chunks of the earth’s crust that grind slowly against one another. However, they can also occur many hundreds of miles from a fault line and it is these earthquakes that scientists believe may be the result of long aftershocks rather than background seismic activity.

The finding could explain many unexpected earthquakes in the centre of continental shelves, such as the disastrous quake in Sichuan in the heart of China in May 2008 which killed at least 68,000 people and injured up to 400,000 more. At 7.9 on the earthquake scale it was one of the most deadly quakes in history.

The study, reported in the journal Nature, found that aftershocks near to tectonic boundaries continue for only a few years but further away they can occur over a timescale of decades and centuries. Recent earthquakes in Canada’s Saint Lawrence valley, for instance, may be the aftershocks of an earthquake that occurred in 1663.

Similarly, a magnitude 7 earthquake that occurred near a town called New Madrid in Mississippi in 1811 is still causing aftershocks that can be felt in the American mid-west because these shocks are the result of movements that are 100 times slower than the movements that occur near to a tectonic fault line.

Look out San Fran!
