1. Earth
as a seismologist more active in the last 15 years, said geophysicist
Missouri University of Science & Technology Stephen S. Gao. However, not all seismologists agree.
2. San Francisco close to Los Angeles with a speed of about 2 inches per year (such as the speed your fingernails grow). These cities will meet a few million years later. However, north-south movement also means that California will not fall into the sea.
3. Earthquake in March rather than months, although some people believe it. It is true that on March 28, 1964, Prince William Sound, Alaska, experienced an earthquake 9.2 on the Richter Scale and became one of the largest earthquake ever. This earthquake killed 125 people and property damage of U.S. $ 311 million (USD 2.8 trillion).On March 9, 1957, Andreanof Islands, Alaska, experienced a 9.1 magnitude earthquake. However, the next three largest U.S. earthquake occurred in February, November, and December. Terdahsyat earthquake occurred in Chile on February 27, 2010.
4. There are about 500 thousand earthquakes each year around the world are sensitive instruments detected. About 100 thousand quake could be felt, and 100 thousand other causes of damage each year. Each year, the southern California area has about 10 thousand earthquakes, and most people do not feel.
5. The sun and the moon is the cause tremors. Has long been known to plug the sun and moon rise in the planet's crust, a small version of the ocean tide. Now, researchers say, the pull of the sun and moon on the San Andreas Fault tremors stimulate underground.
6. A city in Chile moves 10 feet when the 8.8 magnitude earthquake occurred on February 27, 2010. This earthquake tore the earth's crust and the city Concepcin shifting to the west. The earthquake is thought to slightly change the rotation of the planet and bypass the day on earth.
7. There was no "earthquake weather." According to the U.S. Geological Survey, statistically, there is equity earthquake in cold weather, heat, rain, and so on. Scientists say there is no physical way weather can affect a few miles below the earth's surface where the quake originated. Changes in air at atmospheric pressure is very small compared to the power of the earth's crust, but it did not achieve the effect of air pressure underground.
