Earthquake in Reno, Nevada, 4.7, and swarms beforehand with over 100 aftershocks.

=====
Seismologists said the recent activity is unusual because the quakes started out small and continue to build in strength. The normal pattern is for a main quake followed by smaller aftershocks.

"A magnitude 6 quake wouldn't be a scientific surprise," John Anderson, director of the seismological lab, said Saturday. "We certainly hope residents are taking the threat seriously after last night."

that should be "swarms"

I hope it isn't tied in with the Yellowstone caldera way deep down.

How can you have beforehand aftershocks? I'm really asking, I'm confused...

The term 'preshock' is just as valid as 'aftershock' when describing earthquakes. However, I doubt that either is correct here since "the big un" has not happened. It might, but that is all we can say.

I think the term 'earthquake swarm' is a better one for the Donner quakes, at least right now.

Cross your fingers and pack the good chinaware, Alice.

I hope it wasn't a precursor to a bigger one, just a little earth shiver.

The highest seismic number is the earthquake event. The precursors are just that, precursors. They are not always present, especially in the case where something under the earth just snaps from whatever pressures are at hand. The quakes with a lot of precursors is like an avalanche just beginning to break traction and gather momentum. Events after the highest number are technically aftershocks due to reverberation and settling. An aftershock can reach a number as high as the original event but they are still considered to be aftershocks because it was the main event which precipitated them.

mrzzy I think that "pre-shocks" can only be legitimately named retrospectively. There have been at least 35 small shocks since that 4.7, so maybe the "100's" they refer to were part of that as well, or maybe they made a mistake.

Not necessarily even similar in cause or potential, the Nevada "quake swarm" would seem at least superficially similar to a report elsewhere a couple of weeks ago.

Undersea quake swarm puzzles experts

Hundreds of tremors emanate from unusual source off Oregon coast

GRANTS PASS, Ore. - Scientists listening to underwater microphones have detected an unusual swarm of earthquakes off central Oregon, something that often happens before a volcanic eruption — except there are no volcanoes in the area.

Scientists don't know exactly what the earthquakes mean, but they could be the result of molten rock rumbling away from the recognized earthquake faults off Oregon, said Robert Dziak, a geophysicist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Oregon State University.

There have been more than 600 quakes over the past 10 days in a basin 150 miles (240 kilometers) southwest of Newport, Ore. The biggest was magnitude 5.4, and two others were more than magnitude 5.0, Oregon State University reported.

"In the 17 years we've been monitoring the ocean through hydrophone recordings, we've never seen a swarm of earthquakes in an area such as this," Dziak said.

I'll leave it to the experts here to make their own comparisons between the articles.

Hmm - except there are no volcanoes in the area - YET.

I mean - volcanoes have to start somewhere, sometime, so just maybe thats how.

These things happen - but hopefully in uninteresting ways and not on Friday afternoons.

Hmm - except there are no volcanoes in the area - YET.

If there is a caldera, then there has to be a volcano - they're what's left afer a certain type of volcanic eruption has happened. It may not have a nice traditional conical form to it, like Krakatoa or Vesuvius, but it's still a volcano waiting to happen.

With a really big one, the ground heaves up over a large area for a few years before the bang, like a zit tens of miles across:

http://www.ees1.lanl.gov/Wohletz/Krakatau.htm

That doesn't seem to have happened in Nevada (yet), so this cluster doesn't seem likely to produce a Yellowstone-sized eruption. Might well be consistent with one big enough to obliterate Nevada, though.

How far is the centre of these quakes from the Yucca Mountain repository? Blowing the US's entire inventory of high-level nuclear waste into the stratosphere *would* be something for the rest of the world to worry about, even if the eruption was only Mt-St-Helens-sized.

The largest eruption ever that we know about was not all that far away, in Colorado:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Garita_Caldera

Even this slightly smaller one nearly made the human race extinct:
http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/2005/05_04_28.html

Seems a good bet that both of those had more warning signs than a few minor quakes.

That's a good one - who thought that ruse up? Let's bury all the high level nuclear waste in a mountain that could be a volcano!

"...Blowing the US's entire inventory of high-level nuclear waste into the stratosphere..."

Not to worry, at least about a Nevada earthquake causing a huge radioactive event.

The great majority of waste from our nuclear reactors is neatly stored near them, all over the country. Convient places for terrorists to target. Little has been transported across the country as moving would be done on railways or on the Interstate Freeway System and would require several levels of governmental approval.

Not to worry *yet*.

The plan is to move all of it to Nevada eventually. Wikipedia has what looks like a good summary of the situation with Yucca Mountain.

The UK's plan is put all theirs a few hundred feet underground in Caithness. An area which was a mile deep in glaciers during the last Ice Age, some which dug valleys 3000 feet deep. The next Ice Age can't be more than 5000 years away, maybe only 1000, at which time the waste will not be much less dangerous than it is now.

Yes, I just read the Wiki article about Yucca Mountain and no factual errors jump out on first reading. Here is a part of the article:

"...On December 19, 1984, the Department of Energy selected ten locations in six states for consideration as potential repository sites. This was based on data collected for nearly ten years. The ten sites were studied and results of these preliminary studies were reported in 1985. Based on these reports, President Reagan approved three sites for intensive scientific study called site characterization. The three sites were Hanford, Washington; Deaf Smith County, Texas; and Yucca Mountain.

In 1987, Congress amended the Nuclear Waste Policy Act and directed DOE to study only Yucca Mountain..."

Note: there were originally six states and ten sites. All were gradually eliminated by different people, although the article implies it was Reagan. Actually, there was one site to be studied in Massachusetts, home of Ted Kennedy, the top Democrat. Gone.

Then to western Washington State, home of Tom Foley, Jim Wright's replacement, another Democrat and House Speaker. Yep, that one left the list too.

Another was in northern Mississippi, home powerful Democrat John Stennis. Adios.

I believe California and eastern Colorado were also listed and I can do the reasearch, but am not sure it is needed.
Eventually, Congress eliminated all sites but Yucca Mountain from the original ten sites, thus approving it by not really not un-approving it. Our government in action.

Why do they keep picking the home states of Democrates that the Republicans would love to radiate? It's no wonder they keep saying "no, not in my state"! They don't suggest putting 1 in their own back yard do they. Now that it's a Dem majority I suggest we all start to focus putting the whole shebang in DC & see how the lot of them like that. We'd probably get more bills about researching other alternitives.
The search has been on since 84' & they still haven't come up with a plasuable dump site.

Does that tell the rest of us anything about nuclear waste?

Drop in all in a volcano that's ready to blow, wouldn't the intense heat/pressure take care of the waste problem?

OK, which has more explosive force; a nuke or a volcano?
Which is more dangerous to mankind?
Which would you rather in your backyard?
Which would you rather in the White House?

Anyone want to invest in some new offshore islands off the Northwest coast? I'm waiting patiently in a fast baot so that when the islands start forming I'll be the 1st to plant my flag on them.

If that IS a volcano brewing, a nuclear waste dump downrange will probably be a good thing. Along with burying the middle section of our country under anywhere from a couple of feet to a couple of hundred feet of ash and glass that will bury the spent nuke stuff too. Probably long enough that several half-lifes will have come and gone before (if ever) it sees the light of day.

Not that I have a verified explanation,
scaler weapons can produce similar effects that have appeared in NV as well as Washington State area.

The biggest challenge to ground based scaler weapons is the 'bank shot' aiming of these weapons off the Ionosphere and back down to earth. IF and I emphasize IF these are scaler energies, they narrowly (200 miles) missed the fault lines in Washington and NV.

Lots of nudges with high energy may move a huge mass, especailly when that mass is a fault line that wants to move bu is licked up at points.

Please do not believe there is a conspiracy at work here but for fun you could google...

I'm unclear as to why several folks here have made the tremendous leaps from "There have been an unusually large number of relativly small earthquakes in that previously relatively quiet area over there" to "Gee, an enormous caudera may be about to open up and kill us all" to "an enormous caldera could open up under the Yucca Mountain nulear waste repository and kill us all". There is about as much chance of a brand spanking new cauldera forming at the New Madrid fault.
The Yucca Mountain site is over 600 miles away from Yellowstone. It is hardly
Caulderas don't form in a vaccuum. There have to be extrusions to the surface from the core. You find them under Yellowstone, the Hawaiian Islands and elsewhere about the globe. Not so much under Yucca Mountain If one did form, it would not happen in an instant or overnight. Think in terms of hundreds or thousands of years for the finger of doom to rise to the surface. There is nothing to suggest that a huge lava chamber has formed under Nevada.
As far as the radioactive waste, some perspective might be helpful. YOU are radioactive. Everything on the planet has radioactive elements. The reason that the core of the Earth has remained hot for at least 4.5 billion years is that the core is radioactive.
Even if the whole Yucca Mountain complex was destroyed by a HUGE earthquake, the result would not be a deadly mushroom cloud. The waste would be trapped under thousands of feet of rubble.
We live on floating islands of rock floating on a ball of melted radioactive super-dense rock.
Folks in the region would be well served to take precautions for continued earthquake activity; but the hyperboly, fun though it may be, makes about as much sense as the recent fuss about the Apophus asteroid.( A kid in Germany got a lot of ink because he said that NASA had miscalculated the chance of the NEO impact in twenty years. The fact that it was HIS math that was wrong got much less ink that his alarming annoucements. Perhaps the David vs. Goliath aspect gave the story legs.)
This is not to say that nuclear waste is harmless, or that nuclear weapons aren't dangerous, or that our goverment and many others haven't made stupid choices that endangered and killed innocent citizens, or that.
If I am completely oof base, and a cauldera were to spontaniously open under Yucca Mountain then the radioactice waste would really be the LEAST of our problems.
Oh, and BTW: The short half-life radioisotopes are much more dangerous than the long-lived ones. If this was not true, then the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki could not have been resettled after being blasted. Both are thriving cities. The radiation levels while certainly deadly on August 6 and 9 of 1945, are now essentially at backgound level now. You can stand right next to a Plutonium weapon core or hold it in your latex-gloved hand without any harm As long as the metal isn't introduced internally (i.e. breathed into the lungs, or absorbed into bone tissue). Do the same thing with concentrated Cobalt 60, and you could die within hours.
Then you would not have to worry about earthquakes.
P.S. Donuel. The explanation you give for "scaler weapons" bouncing off the ionosphere and causing earthquakes is complete nonsense. Whereas ionization effects of high altitude weapons would be distributed along magnetic force lines along the North-South axis of the magnetic field, NO physical pressure waves of any kind would be reflected by the ionosphere. Certainly there would not be ANY measurable pressure tranfer at the distant surface other than an attenuated blast wave through the lower atmosphere.
Scaler weapons??? Show me any schematic or other plans for scaler weapons that don't amount to large bunker buster bombs. You imply that And who would build a weapon that would destroy your whole planet. Even the largest bomb ever set off, the Soviet 100 MT Tsar Bomba was only tested at 1/2 power, then never tested or followed up on again.
Perhaps you could explain how radiant blast forces could be directed from a weapon, banking off the corner pocket bumper of the decidedly non-solid ionosphere, like sound off a wall and causing a quake without falling prey to our old friend, the Inverse Square Law.
I prefer science fiction that is based at least reasonable science, not scary sounding buzzwords.

I had no idea where in Nevada Yucca Mountain is, which is why I asked.

There is no comparison between the Japanese bombings and the amount of waste planned for Yucca Mountain. It's tens or hundreds of times the amount released in the Chernobyl or Kyshtym disasters. A geological event that disrupted the repository beyond repair so the waste could break loose would make half the US uninhabitable and have global consequences once it got to the oceans. It might take decades but there wouldn't be a thing anybody could do about it.

So far, the only contained major nuclear accident is the Kyshtym one (Lake Karachai) and that's just by geographic fluke. Nobody has a clue how to improve the containment for the longer term, or has any plans to try. Meanwhile we have a lakeful of sludge that will kill you with an hour's exposure just waiting for a change in hydrology to dump it all in the Arctic Ocean.

Jack, I completely agree with you about the deadly lake. It scares the willies out of me.
A difference between the US and USSR weapons programs was that the US was SLIGHTLY better about handling radioactive waste.
You are also correct about the fact that tons of waste would be stored at Yucca Mountain. There is no reason to suspect that a disasterous earthquake at Yucca Mountain would have any effects at all to anywhere but a local area. Of instance, Las Vegas would not have any problem.
FYI you can see the repository at approx. 36 48' 12 "N/ 116 09.18W on googleEarth. It's about 10 miles SW of the Nevada Nucler test site.
There are no geological fault lines within about 100 miles. Certainly none pass under the mountain.
I'm all for reasonable caution with dangerous materials. Leaving the waste at reactior sites is only a short term answer. Have you seem the testing that has been done on the transport vessels? It's impressive what they will survive.
Just for fun you might want to see how much radioactivity is released into the air by burning coal.
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste&ec=su_coal
This is not to say that nuke power plants are risk free by any means.
Donuel, old pal, I think you might like to post some real info about these weapons that the ruskies were going to make rain in Indonesia. I kinda doubt that it happened as stated. I don't know of ANY large scale attempt to induce rainfall for forest fire control in any place in the world.
FYI the 2004 forest fire season in Indonesia was not particulaly severe. About 140km squared were burned. The 91 and 94 seasons had about 10x that amount. the 2003 season was only about 40Km squared.

Since we left the Richter Scale the measure of the magnitude of an earthquake has to do with both intensity and duration. The intensity may be low but if it is of long duration it could shake your eyeballs out. Or it can be a sharp jolt of short duration. How do you measure that? Another dimension is the depth at which an earthquake occurred. The deeper it is, generally, the less surface effects but this depends largely upon the geological structures and fault types. I can't recall the name attached to the current scale used to describe tremor intensity but it is applicable to surface area and each number is on the common logarithm, i.e. 10x each preceding number. A magnitude 2 can be felt over an area about 2 football fields worth.

The seismometers of today are ultra-sensitive. They are so sensitive that they can register the tug of the trees of a wooded area in a high wind. The magnitude numbers can be run beyond zero and a earthquake of -2.0 would affect the area about the size of a US quarter dollar! I'm glad they don't report those numbers! Many people have been through a 3.0 and never realized it. If they were walking or especially if driving they would not have felt it.

At the USGS site is a feature where you can report your experiences during any 3.0 or higher magnitude or even report what you believe to have been an earthquake. The data gathered by the USGS help them identify how the energy of the quake is transmitted over distances and hopefully helps to explain why one person in a straight line from the source does not feel the temblor and the guy five miles farther away, straight line, has an experience of strong shaking. The site also generates "Felt maps" which shows the subjective strength of the quake by ZIP codes of the correspondents. You can compare the reported intensity with a computer generated map showing theoretical intensity. You can also see computer generated bit maps which shows the general shape and depth of the quake under the ground. This is really a fabulous site if you have any interest in the subject. And interest or not, you should report your experience ( or lack thereof!). You are NOT required to give your name, just a the ZIP code of your location at the time of the quake. Every where I have checked at WWW geology sites around the world, they all have similar reporting forms.

But the fact that a new cider cone formed in an area well known for volcanic and seismic activity, while certainly startling to the poor farmer whose land was buried, was hardly earth-shattering (teehee) geological news.

From; Danish Earthquakes


Denmark is hit by five to ten earthquakes a year, and 200 earthquakes were registered in Denmark between 1929 and 2004. Small earthquakes can occur in the Danish part of the Skagerrak, as it is the southern limit of an earthquake zone in western Norway, and they can also occur in the southern Kattegat, which is regarded as the southern limit of a zone in south-western Sweden. In central and south-western Denmark there are no earthquakes.

As the greatest probability for earthquakes is off the Jutland 'shoulder' and in the Kattegat north of Zealand, earth tremors are most likely to be felt in Thy in north-western Jutland and in northern Zealand.

Most earthquakes in Denmark are not powerful enough to be felt by people, as their strength on the Richter scale is between 1.5 and 4.5, while the large earthquakes we know from abroad are typically between 6 and 8 on the scale. Only a single recent earthquake in Denmark has caused minor damage to houses.

Concerning "The Big One", there is a big one coming. It is inevitable and it is borne out by the geological record. Like clockwork, certain areas experience high magnitude earthquakes. The grinding push of the various plates of Earth's crust cause a slow motion staccato of starts and stops in the movement along a fault line. We know the rate of slippage and the general frequency of earthquakes and the usual magnitude of these quakes, ALONG KNOWN FAULTS. The business going on north of Reno is anomalous. It is happening in one small area and there are no know fault lines to speak of. This area is to date, unpredictable. It could be a incipient volcano. It could just be what it appears, a swarm of earthquakes.

But along the known faults such as the San Andreas, the Garlock, the Big Pine, White Wolf etc. the Big Ones happen with great regularity and have for hundreds of thousands of years. Just because WE are here now does not mean that the process has stopped for our convenience. We tend to think in terms of a life time or two and get very comfortable thinking nothing has ever happened in my life time like a "Big One" so it isn't going to happen. That's wrong thinking and my advice is to prepare some plans (plural) for survival: escape routes, gas shutoff locations, circuit breaker and the like, stored water. flash lights, a tent? some kind of temporary shelter, extra clothing. rallying point, a strobe light, portable radio. This is just good common sense that could save your life or the life of a neighbor.
