Chungnam Boryoung City Crop Circle

Our report is that we had a news today for discover a very exciting crop circles in near Chungnam Boryoung City, South Korea. This mark -§ - is very commonly used by the legal profession in legal texts and legal codes to set out a section of the law, or a legal regulation. This is self-evidently very, very similar to what we see in the Korean crop glyph. It may be a way of saying that this formation, or maybe others too, have to do with laying down the law - whether natural law, cosmic law, galactic federation law, spiritual law, who knows?

ZetaTalk Analysis 6/14/2008: This stunning crop circle is speaking to mankind about the current Earth wobble, which will soon develop beyond the simple Figure 8 pattern it has been adhering to since early 2004. The two Figure 8s are seen overlapping, assuming first one posture and then another in an almost smooth line. This movement is a predecessor to the severe wobble which the Earth will at some point assume going into the 3 days of darkness. The Earth wobble, the Figure 8, will have another wobble superimposed upon it, a back and forth motion of the globe. It has been noted that the overlapping Figure 8 is also a symbol meaning that associated text quoted is legalese, quoting law. In that man cannot escape the pole shift, the behavior of your home planet Earth is only adhering to laws governing your portion of the Universe, so to speak.

'Non-planet' Pluto gets new class - Pluto was stripped of its planet status two years ago. "Plutoid" is the word of the moment for astronomers. It is the new classification that has been sanctioned by th IAU for the object that was formerly known as the "ninth planet". The IAU members took the historic decision to redefine the Solar System to have just eight major worlds - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They relegated Pluto to a grouping that includes Ceres (the largest asteroid), and Eris, an object slightly larger than Pluto that orbits even further out from the Sun in an icy region known as the Kuiper Belt. The IAU's Committee on Small Body Nomenclature has now decided that dwarf planets that move beyond Neptune should be placed in a new sub-category, the plutoid.

Trio of 'super-Earths' discovered - Astronomers have identified a trio of so-called "super-Earths" - rocky planets between two and 10 times the mass of Earth. The discovery suggests that at least one third of stars similar to our oun Sun host these difficult-to-detect celestial bodies, multiplying previous estimates by five.These 'super-Earths' orbit a star known as HD 40307 some 42 light years away near the southern Doradus and Pictor constellations. One light-year is roughly equivalent to 9.5 trillion kilometres (6 trillion miles). Using Harps data, the astronomers also counted a total of 45 candidate planets with a mass below 30 Earth masses. This implies that one solar-like star out of three harbours such planets.

Wild weather pummels Southland in California -Day brings rain, tornado, snow and hail - May 23, 2008: SANTA ANA - A wild weather system lashed Southern California on Thursday with fierce thunderstorms that unleashed mudslides in wildfire-scarred canyons, spawned a tornado and dusted mountains and even low-lying communities with snow and hail. The National Weather Service issued tornado warnings for parts of Riverside County about 55 miles east of Los Angeles, and area residents flooded TV stations with pictures and video of funnel clouds and at least one tornado on the ground.

Earth's Magnetic Field - the Hathors through Tom Kenyon

The magnetic field of earth is involved in a perturbation or morphing. This is taking place interdimensionally, and the net effect is incremental surges in amplitude or strength of the magnetic field.  This morphing of earth's magnetic field is like a wave that rises and falls very quickly, and the oscillations are minute, but distinct. This is having a very strange effect upon human consciousness, specifically your biological experience. Many people are experiencing an increase of exhaustion and weariness.

Giant Undersea Volcano Found Off Iceland

National Geographic News - April 22, 2008: A giant and unusual underwater volcano lies just offshore of Iceland on the Reykjanes Ridge, volcanologists have announced. The Reykjanes formation is a section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which bisects the Atlantic Ocean where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart.

Quakes Keep Shaking Reno; Scientists Stumped

More than 500 seismic events have rocked Reno, Nevada, in the past week alone, sending scientists scrambling to understand whether the quakes portend a Big One

Cooler Climate May Hit N. America, Europe Next Decade

Brian Handwerk for National Geographic News - April 30, 2008: Shifting ocean currents could throw some cold water on global warming over the next decade, a new study suggests.

Europe and North America may soon experience chillier temperatures, thanks to natural North Atlantic variations that could temporarily mask the effects of human-driven, or anthropogenic, climate change. "We believe that ocean currents and systems could, in the short term, change global warming patterns and even mean temperatures," said Noel Keenlyside of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in Kiel, Germany.

4D Ionosphere

April 30, 2008: Today, NASA-funded researchers released to the general public a new "4D" live model of Earth's ionosphere. Without leaving home, anyone can fly through the layer of ionized gas that encircles Earth at the edge of space itself. All that's required is a connection to the Internet.

Illinois, April 18, 2008: The magnitude 5.2 earthquake that rocked the Midwest on Friday was felt from Kansas to Georgia.

WEST SALEM, Ill. (AP) - Residents across the Midwest were awakened Thursday by a 5.2 magnitude earthquake that rattled skyscrapers in Chicago's Loop and homes in Cincinnati but appeared to cause no major injuries or damage. The quake just before 4:37 a.m. was centered six miles from West Salem, Ill., and 66 miles from Evansville, Ind. Aftershocks could continue for months at this strange seismic zone at the nation's center and even trigger another big quake, a geophysicist said. The quake occurred on a northern extension of the New Madrid fault, about 6 miles north of Mt. Carmel, Ill. Full Story

Earth Gives Off Mysterious Low Hum

Friday , April 18, 2008, Fox News, By Charles Q. Choi: Earth gives off a relentless hum of countless notes completely imperceptible to the human ear, like a giant, exceptionally quiet symphony, but the origin of this sound remains a mystery.

Swarm of Earthquakes Detected Off Central Oregon

Monday, April 14, 2008: 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 southwest of Newport. The biggest was magnitude 5.4, and two others were more than magnitude 5.0, OSU reported.

More Information of the Oregon "Swarms" from the USGS.

An earthquake "swarm" is an episode with many earthquakes in which the largest earthquake does not occur at the beginning of the episode and in which the largest earthquake is not substantially larger than other earthquakes of the episode. Earthquake swarms generally continue for weeks, months, or even longer, without the occurrence of a substantially larger event.  Earthquake swarms sometimes (but not always) indicate volcanic activity.

Scientists Solve 50-Year-Old Mystery of Oceans' Seismic 'Buzz'

3/7/08

The latest buzz in Earth science literally comes from out of the blue-the deep blue seas. For the first time, scientists have pinpointed a specific area in the North Atlantic where microseisms, small Earth tremors created when ocean waves traveling in opposite directions merge together, are emitted from the depths of the ocean.

March 26 - In late February 2008, the Wilkins Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula disintegrated, an indication of warming temperatures in the region.

Nevada 6.0 Earthquake on the Independance Fault system 15 km (10 miles) ESE of Wells, Nevada at 7:16 AM MST, Feb 21, 2008. This event has been followed by 20 aftershock to date (4:21 PM MST). Many were in the 3-4 range with 2 in the above 4 mag range. Feb. 21, 2008: The magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck northeastern Nevada early today, collapsing some buildings and causing gas and water leaks. No injuries were reported. The temblor was felt as far north as Boise, Idaho, and as far east as Salt Lake City

THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA experienced another earthquake of magnitude 4.3 2008/02/21 at 7 AM MST 24.299 -109.058 10.0 km deep. This occurred on the fault line at the tip of Baja California.

The Masters through Ruth Ryden discuss the Earth Changes for Feburary, 2008. "There has been a slight change in the position of the Earth in relation to the Sun, which has upset the normal range of climates, and taken it a few degrees further from the Sun..."

Human Activities Triggering "Global Soil Change": Changes to Earth's soils and surface geology brought about by people are creating a new geologic era, the Anthropocene, some experts believe.

Earthquake activity in the Baja California - California area is accelerating at a frightening rate. The US Earthquake map for Feb. 14th had 1,142 quakes in a weeks period of time! The geology of the Salton Trough and the Cerro Prieto volcano and geothermal field shows a dynamic earth system. Approximately five million years ago the East Pacific Rise split the Baja Peninsula from the mainland of Mexico. This created the Gulf of California. The plate tectonic activity along the East Pacific Rise, like a giant door swinging open, has moved the Baja Peninsula 162 miles westward from the mainland at the southern end of the gulf. The northern "hinge" point of this tectonic system is in the Salton Trough. To explore the Geology of the Salton Trough Area, click here

 2 Quakes Strike Southern Greece

ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Two strong earthquakes hit southern Greece on Thursday - one of them felt as far away as Italy and Egypt. No injuries were reported.

Magnitude 6.7 2008/02/14 10:09:24 36.626 21.792 30.0 SOUTHERN GREECE

Magnitude 6.0 2008/02/14 12:08:57 36.436 21.903 30.0 SOUTHERN GREECE

Magnitude 4.6 2008/02/14 17:26:46 36.556 21.725 52.8

This is a seismically active area as shown by the map on the right.
Earthquakes are common in Greece, which is riddled with fault lines.

In January, a 6.5 quake struck another part of southern Greece. Its epicenter was located deep underground and while it was felt across much of the country, it did not cause any injuries or serious damage.

 

Magnitude 6.0 - Fuji region. This occurred at a depth of 623 km! Talk about ringing Mother's bells on a beautiful Friday evening. This is just south of Ndol Island, an area known for deep quakes, usually in the 500+ km range. It is unusual for a quake of over 600 km to have this magnitude.

 

 Severed Cables Disrupt Internet

January 31, 2008

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7218008.stm

FLAG Telecoms operate the 17,400 mile long submarine communications cable. SEA-ME-WE 4 is a submarine cable system linking South East Asia to Europe via the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East. Neither of the cable operators have confirmed the cause or location of the outage but some reports suggest it was caused by a ship's anchor near the port of Alexandria in Egypt.

The news media has attempted to find a 3-D reason for this break. However, it is due to the stretchng of the Arabian plate. For a detailed explaination from the Zeta's, go to Nancy's newletter at http://www.zetatalk.com/newsletr/issue062.htm

Magnitude 6.2 - KEPULAUAN BARAT DAYA, INDONESIA Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 12:32:47 AM (MST) at 42 km in depth.

How One Big Earthquake Triggers Another: Jan. 30, 2008 - Every so often, one large earthquake can trigger another. These "earthquake doublets" might happen because the first quake shifts stresses around in the Earth's crust, triggering the second temblor

El Niño at Play as Source of More Intense Regional U.S. Wintertime Storms: January 28 - Researchers now believe that some of the most intense winter storm activity over parts of the United States may have origins in far-flung parts of the Pacific Ocean.

Baffin Island Ice Caps Shrink by 50 Percent Since 1950s: January 28 - A new study has shown that ice caps on the northern plateau of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic have shrunk by more than 50 percent in the last half century as a result of warming, and are expected to disappear by the middle of the century. (University of Colorado at Boulder press release)

Antarctic Ice Loss Speeds Up, Nearly Matches Greenland Loss: January 23 - Ice loss in Antarctica increased by 75 percent in the last 10 years due to a speed-up in the flow of its glaciers and is now nearly as great as that observed in Greenland, according to a new, comprehensive study by NASA and university scientists.

2007 Tied as Earth's Second Warmest Year: January 16 - NASA climatologists have found that 2007 tied with 1998 for Earth's second warmest year in a century.

Mother Earth Speaks: I come forward at this auspicious time to speak of energies that are permeating my being. There has been much confusion and much chaos in the lives of so many. It has appeared most unsettling, yet in fact from where I see you I see only peace and joy....

Earth Changes - Open Forum: Today we see that Mother Earth is acting up. She is tired of all of the negative energy that is manifesting itself with the confines of the outer level of this land and wishes to bring into your presence all that you came to see during this incarnation....

Tectonic Pressure Along The Ring of Fire: A Hathor Planetary Message Received 05/26/06 by Tom Kenyon: As we indicated in a previous communication, there has been a likelihood of increased geological tectonic activity. It is now upon you.

There is a marked increase in the tension along what you call the Ring of Fire (which extends from New Zealand to Australia, up through Indonesia, into Japan and Northern Russia and across and down the west coast of both North and South America). Due to Earth's internal resonance, the area you call Yellowstone National Park as well as the fault lines running on the East Coast of the United States, as well as Greece and Turkey, are also potentially involved.

Some of you may feel an increase in irritability, sleep disturbances, strange unaccountable exhaustion, headaches and nausea. Those of you who are more sensitive may actually feel a quaking or shaking feeling at the cellular level of the body.

Earthquakes List for Magnitude 5.0+ for August & Sept. 2007

Earthquakes List for Magnitude 5.0+ for October 2007

 

Magnitude 4.8 - AMAZONAS, BRAZIL: 2008 January 12 at 8:38 AM MST. Another deep earthquake at 556.5 km in an area that has historically experienced quakes in the 500+ km depth range. This is the depth that moves the base structures of Mother Earth.

Magnitude 4.8 - GUATEMALA: 2008 January 10 at 11:04 AM MST at a depth of 240 km...this in an active area of Central America but at a greater depth than ususal.

Magnitude 6.3 OFF COAST OF OREGON across from Coos Bay: Weds, January 9, 2008 at 6:37 PM MST at a shallow depth of 10 km...putting further stress on the Cascadia Fault.

Magnitude 3.1 and occurred about 8:40 p.m in Ohio, USA: A small earthquake under Lake Erie was felt Tuesday by people northeast of Cleveland but caused no injuries or damage. Experts say Ohio seems to be increasingly prone to earthquakes. There have been 25 earthquakes of magnitude 2.0 or higher over the past two years. That's equal to the number the five years before that. And there have been about as many such quakes in Ohio so far this decade as in the previous 30 years. *Reflect back on the stretching we have mentioned going from the St. Lawrence Seaway through to the Black Hills of South Dakata.

Magnitude 4.9 - FIJI REGION: 2008 January 9 at 6:33 PM MST...ringing Mother's bell again at a depth of 567 km.

Magnitude 6.1 - QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION: 2008 January 09 at 7:40 AM MST at 10 km in depth...shallow but ringing the bell of the North American continent. This was right after the Xizang quake. Three other earthquakes were measured in quick succession in the early morning hours of Jan. 5 in the Queen Charlotte Sound area. The first measured 5.3, then 6.7 and finally a 6.5. These were felt in Bella Bella. The biggest earthquake in Canada took place in the Queen Charlotte Fault zone in 1949. The quake measured 8.1 and was bigger than the 1906 earthquake which helped destroy San Francisco.

Magnitude 6.4 - WESTERN XIZANG: 2008 January 09 at 1:26 AM MST quake at 10 km in depth.

An intermediate depth earthquake of Magnitude 7.4 - MARTINIQUE REGION, WINDWARD ISLANDS: 2007 November 29 19:00:19 UTC

A magnitude quake of 6.7 on 2007/11/22 08:48:31 UTC at 77.5km in EASTERN NEW GUINEA REG, PAPUA NEW GUINEA has again rattled this shaking area.

Magnitude 4.8 earthquake on 2007/11/21 06:48:30 at 605.7 km in the FIJI REGION. This quake will ring a bell in Mother Earth, once again surfacing in the mid-South America region up toward Central America.

An Earthquake OFF THE COAST OF OREGON of magnitude 5.8 2007/11/19 at 20:32:48UTC 10.0 km in depth. This is located on the Cascadia Fault zone. If you are a movie buff, this is the beginning area for the movie 10.5, the earthquake that rumbled down the western coast of the US and devestated Los Angeles. Of course, this was just a thriller movie.

Another deep quake has rattled Mother Earth: 6.3 magnitude in the FIJI REGION 2007/11/19 00:52:12 -21.070 -178.743 at 551.4 km in depth. This comes right after a deep quake of magnitude 4.4 in SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO, ARGENTINA on 2007/11/18 22:42:12 at 565.8 km in depth. Remember, earlier the magnitude 6.0 on 2007/11/18 05:40:09 at 220.7 km in JUJUY, ARGENTINA.

Bursts of Gas Make Earthquakes Fizz: November 17 - Unexplained carbon dioxide observed after earthquakes may come from frictional melting along faults and could increase a tremor's severity. (New Scientist)

NEW DELHI, Nov. 18 - Gusting winds of over 100 miles an hour Cyclone Sidr, the furious cyclone that swept across Bangladesh late Thursday, has caused property damage, major outages of electrical and telephone services, sent some 650,000 people fleeing the low-laying areas, and has already sent the reported death toll to 3,113 people. Major damage to crops and growing ability will be felt for a long time. This is the worst storm to hit this area in over a decade.

SOUTH OF THE FIJI ISLANDS has experienced a 5.0 magnitude earthquake, 2007/11/16 22:12:13UTC at a depth of 444.6 km. These deep earthquakes are the ones that rearrange the base plate structure of Mother Earth. Look for major crustal changes in this area down into the Antartic area. Weather in Australia is severely affected (droughts), area islands are sinking at a rapid rate, cyclone are distrupting the land areas above India, and much more. The Pacific plates are being squeezed while the Atlantic is stretching apart at the mid-atlantic rift area. Kelut volcano in Jave, Indonesia is still active with lava dome building and ash plumes; Krakatau in Indonesia is also blelching and ash-pluming.

Aftershocks are continuing, even another 6.0 on 11/17/07 at Antogasta, Chile. Another Magnitude 6.8 earthquake on 2007/11/15 15:05:58 at 26.0 km in depth in ANTOFAGASTA, CHILE and a magnitude 6.1 at 2007/11/15 15:03:09 27.0 km in depth OFFSHORE ANTOFAGASTA, CHILE. Smaller "aftershocks" are also occurring in the high 4 magnitude to high 5 magnitude ranges. Following up the northern coastline of South America, you have had a magnitude 6.8 earthquake in the PERU-ECUADOR BORDER REGION at 2007/11/16 03:13:00 at a deeper depth of 123.0 km. Then follow across once again to the other side of South America and you find a small 3.6 magnitude earthquake in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC REGION on 2007/11/16 14:53:00 at 160.2 km in depth. This is deeper than historically noted for this particular fault area. Now, remember the 5.3 in Guatemala just a bit ago...now we see another 4.6 magnitude earthquake on 2007/11/15 23:23:39 at a depth of 35.0 km NEAR THE COAST OF NICARAGUA. This is a very seismically active area.

An Earthquake in ANTOFAGASTA, CHILE of Magnitude 7.7 struck on Nov. 14, 2007 at 7:41 AM, Pacific Standard Time at 60.0 km in depth. with an aftershock of magnitude 5.1. This quake has just been followed by a magnitude 5.7 earthquake at 45 km in depth and a 4.9 and a 4.7 aftershock. There have been people injured but no deaths at this point. Also, an earthquake of 5.3 shook the area of offshore Guatemala at a depth of 54.2 km. Historically Chile as seen many destructive earthquakes. A 1939 quake killed 28,000 people and in 1960 a magnitude-9.5 quake killed 5,700 people. That remains the most powerful quake on record. Also, on June 13, 2005, a magnitude 7.8 quake near Tarapaca in northern Chile killed 11 people and left thousands homeless.

Seimic activity is registering on charts throughout the Earth, like a bell being rung within Mother Earth. A strong solar wind stream is buffeting Earth's magnetic field at this time from a couple of coronal holes. This is expected to continue for a couple more days. There is a 10% chance of severe geomagnetic storming at high latitudes according to NOAA..

NASA Examines Arctic Sea Ice Changes Leading to Record Low in 2007: October 1 - A new NASA-led study found a 23-percent loss in the extent of the Arctic's thick, year-round sea ice cover during the past two winters, which is the primary cause of this summer's fastest-ever sea ice retreat on record and subsequent smallest-ever extent of total Arctic coverage.

Ancient Cataclysm Rearranged Pacific Map: October 24 - The collapse of an underwater mountain range in the Pacific Ocean 50 million years ago changed the face of the planet, turning Australia into a warm and sunny continent instead of a snowbound wasteland and creating some of the islands that dot the South Pacific today. (National Geographic News)

U.S., Canadian team seeks reasons for water loss in Lakes Huron and Michigan: The federal governments of Canada and the United States promised Thursday to work faster to get the bottom of the spooky loss of water from Lakes Michigan and Huron. The lakes are losing about 2.5 billion gallons per day because of an ever-eroding river bottom.

Volcanic eruption may be linked to quakes - October 17, 2007:Scientists are setting up seismographs in a wilderness region of the British Columbian Interior today to determine if a pending volcanic eruption is the cause of hundreds of small earthquakes the area has been experiencing non-stop since last week.

The 1868 Hayward Earthquake: 139 years and counting...the 1868 Hayward earthquake, the 12th most deadly earthquake in U.S. history. The average interval between the past five large earthquakes on the Hayward fault has been 140 years. It would not be surprising if another large Hayward Fault earthquake happened tomorrow. "The Hayward fault is the single most dangerous fault in the entire Bay Area," said Tom Brocher, a USGS seismologist and member of the 1868 Hayward Earthquake Alliance, "because it is ready to pop and because nearly 2 million people live directly on top of it."

 Magnitude 8.4 - SOUTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA:

2007 September 12 11:10:26 UTC An earthquake occurred 130 km (80 miles) SW of Bengkulu, Sumatra, Indonesia and 625 km (390 miles) WNW of JAKARTA, Java, Indonesia at 5:10 AM MDT, Sep 12, 2007 (6:10 PM local time in Indonesia). At least 9 people killed, hundreds injured and many buildings damaged or destroyed in the Bengkulu and Padang areas. A tsunami with a wave height of 90 cm was measured at Padang. Power and telephone outages occurred The earthquake of September 12, 2007 is the fourth earthquake of magnitude greater than 7.8 to have occurred in the past decade on or near the plate boundaries offshore of western Sumatra. Many strong aftershock continue to shake Indonesia.

 

Scientists Now Know: We're Not From Here!
 

 Imagine the shock of growing up in a loving family with people you call "Mum" and "Dad" and then, suddenly, learning that you are actually adopted!

This same sense of shock came as scientists announced that the Sun, the Moon, our planet and its siblings, were not born into the familiar band of stars known as the Milky Way galaxy, but we actually belong to a strange formation with the unfamiliar name of the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy!

Global Warming Will Bring Violent Storms And Tornadoes, NASA Predicts: August 30th - Science Daily - NASA scientists have developed a new climate model that indicates that the most violent severe storms and tornadoes may become more common as Earth's climate warms.

Los Angeles in an earthquake lull - LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25 A California researcher says Los Angeles is in the midst of a 1,000-year seismic lull characterized by relatively small and infrequent earthquakes. The report, published in the September issue of Geology, suggests seismic activity alternates between the Los Angeles basin and the Mojave Desert, which is in a seismically active period. James Dolan, associate professor of earth sciences at the University of Southern California, said the Northridge earthquake of 1994 was "a drop in the bucket" compared to the massive jolts that would strike the basin during a period of high seismic activity. "The past 1,000 years has been relatively quiet," Dolan said Friday in a release.

Magnitude 8.0 - NEAR THE COAST OF CENTRAL PERU: 2007 August 15 23:40:58 UTCThe following is a release by the United States Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center: An earthquake occurred NEAR THE COAST OF CENTRAL PERU, about 45 km (25 miles) west-northwest of Chincha Alta or about 145 km (90 miles) south-southeast of Lima at 5:40 PM MDT, Aug 15, 2007 (6:40 PM local time in Peru). The magnitude and location may be revised when additional data and further analysis results are available. There have been reports of damage in the Lima area. Two other quakes have shook the area (5.8 & 5.9). A tsunami warning and watch has been issued for the Pacific coast of South and Central America. For information about tsunamis, contact the NOAA Tsunami Warning Centers at http://tsunami.gov

Peru continues to be rocked with earthquakes - immediately aftershocks ranged from 5.0-5.6 mag. and then on Aug. 16th she had another quake of 6.3 mag at a depth of 35 km. This episode was followed by 5 aftershocks ranging from 4.5-5.3 mag then anther 6.0 at the same depth. To date there have since been 13 more quakes ranging from 4.5-5.9 mag.

Across the Pacific you are seeing follow-up quakes in the Solomon Islands of 6.7 mag on 8/16/07, the Banda Sea at 6.2 on 8/17/07, Southeast of the Loyalty Islands at 6.0 with a 35 km depth on 8/18/07, Vanuatu at 5.7 and a depth of 91 km, the Bonin Island area near Japan of 4.5 and a very deep 512 km

Minneapolis bridge collapses: Aug 2 08:47 PM US/Eastern. During peak rush hour traffic with traffic bumper-to-bumper, the Minneapolis bridge rumbled and collapsed. A couple that had lived through a California earthquakes described the feeling as similar. This bridge was only 40 years old. Consider that the Earth is being stretched and torqued from the St. Lawrence Seaway through to So. Dakota and expect to see more of this type of Earth action. Watch video camera of the bridge collapsing here. Also read Nancy's comments in ZetaTalk.

Series of Earthquakes off the coast of Oregon: Located 282 miles west of Yachats, Oregon at a depth of 6.2 miles these quakes for July 28th are 4.9, 4.7, and 4.6 mag.; the quakes on July 27th were 5.1, 4.7, and 4.7 mag. This is on the volatile Cascadia Fault zone - is it a beginning of serious earthquake movement in this area? A recent TV movie showed a cascading earthquake scenerio that began in this area that ended up with a 10 mag. earthquake in Southern California - fantasy or a futurists view of events? Again, a lot of earthquake activity in Alaska to also watch. July 20th saw a 4.2 mag earthquake in the San Francisco, California area.

Floods And Fires Across Europe Captured From Space: Science Daily, July 27th - Highlighting the extreme weather conditions hitting Europe, space sensors aboard ESA's Envisat satellite have detected the worst floodwaters to hit Britain for 60 years and deadly fires raging through southern Europe.

Major Quake, Tsunami Likely in Middle East, Study Finds: National Geographic News, July 26, 2007 - In A.D. 551, a massive earthquake spawned huge tsunamis that devastated the coast of Phoenicia, now Lebanon. Now a new underwater survey has finally uncovered the fault likely responsible for the catastrophe and shown that it rumbles approximately every 1,500 years-which means a disaster is due any day now.

Historical information on this area: Catastrophic Flooding Changed The Course Of British History: Science Daily, July 19th - A catastrophic megaflood separated Britain from France hundreds of thousands of years ago, changing the course of British history, according to research recently published in the journal Nature.

Climate Monitoring Station: Moon-based Observatories Proposed

Science Daily - Poets may see "a face of plaintive sweetness" or "a cheek like beryl stone" when they look at the moon, but Shaopeng Huang sees something else altogether: the ideal location for a network of observatories dedicated to studying climate change on Earth.

Using data from an Apollo 15 experiment whose original intent was thwarted by unanticipated lunar surface conditions, the University of Michigan geophysicist recently showed that surface temperatures on the near side of the moon accurately record important information about Earth's climate system.

Based on his analysis, recently published online in Advances in Space Research, Huang is calling for an international effort to develop and deploy monitoring stations on the moon for the study of terrestrial climate change.

Belgium crop circles for 2007 are showing an interesting combination of clockwise and counterclockwise rotational patterns. One theory is that we are being alerted to the upcoming upheavel of our North Pole as it rotates to balance away from the approaching N. Pole of Planet X.

German crop circles for 2007 continue this theme. The circle seen in Switzerland suggest a nautilus type wave overwhelming the Earth. Ref. Zeta Talk for analysis. Also for a more detailed view of the current crop circles and their relationship with the upcoming Pole Shift - which should occur during one of the major Trimesters - visit Nancy's site here.

Tracking A Volcanic Hot Spot: Satellite Imagery Detects Location Of Seismic Unrest At Mauna Loa: Science Daily - Using a state-of-the-art satellite imagery technique, researchers are able to more precisely predict volcanic activity, bringing them steps closer to understanding where an eruption may occur.

Fragmented Structure Of Seafloor Faults May Dampen Effects Of Earthquakes: Science Daily - Many earthquakes in the deep ocean are much smaller in magnitude than expected. Geophysicists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have found new evidence that the fragmented structure of seafloor faults, along with previously unrecognized volcanic activity, may be dampening the effects of these quakes.

2006 tectonic plate motion reversal near Acapulco puzzles earthquake scientists: Siesmic strain, earthquake specter in region likely not eased, says CU-Boulder-led study A reversal of tectonic plate motion between Acapulco and Mexico City in the last half of 2006 probably didn't ease seismic strain in the region or the specter of a major earthquake anticipated there in the coming decades, says a University of Colorado at Boulder professor. Instead of creeping toward Mexico City at about one inch per year - the expected speed from plate tectonic theory - the region near Acapulco moved in the opposite direction for six months and sped up by four times

Alaskan earthquake in 2002 set off tremors on Vancouver Island: Perhaps it was just a matter of sympathy, but tremors rippled the landscape of Vancouver Island, the westernmost part of British Columbia, in 2002 during a major Alaskan earthquake. Geoscientists at the University of Washington have found clear evidence that the two events were related. Now researchers studying seismograph records have pinpointed five tremor bursts on Vancouver Island on Nov. 3, 2002, the result of a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the Denali fault in the heart of Alaska.



Boiling Water at Hot Creek-The Dangerous and Dynamic Thermal Springs in California's Long Valley Caldera

By Christopher D. Farrar, William C. Evans, Dina Y. Venezky, Shaul Hurwitz, and Lynn K. Oliver - 2007

 

This a picture of Hot Creek.

 Hot Creek flows through the Long Valley Caldera in a volcanically active region of east-central California. This stretch of the creek, looking upstream to the southwest, has long been a popular recreation area because of the warm waters from its thermal springs. These springs, however, are unpredictable and can suddenly erupt with violence and at boiling temperature. Because of this danger, the U.S. Forest Service has had to close parts of the Hot Creek Geologic Site to visitors. (USGS photo by Chris Farrar.)

The beautiful blue pools and impressive boiling fountains along Hot Creek in east-central California have provided enjoyment to generations of visitors, but they have also been the cause of injury or death to some who disregarded warnings and fences. The springs and geysers in the stream bed and along its banks change location, temperature, and flow rates frequently and unpredictably. The hot springs and geysers of Hot Creek are visible signs of dynamic geologic processes in this volcanic region, where underground heat drives thermal spring activity.
