Yes and whats wrong with that. I'm not here to change anyones perception. To each his own, I just felt what I thought and I posted.
Never said anything was wrong with it, I just like asking questions or in the case of my previous post looking at thing s from a differing angle for no other reason than just for the hell of it. What can I say, I'm a slave to my whims, of course I'm not always cause normaly I ignore them un;les I have previously chosen to follow them, so really it doesn't matter to begin with. If you know what I mean.
Actually, now that I think about it, just having the question mark does make it a question, that's the whole damn point of it.
the earth is saying "im a planet and planets arent meant to harbor life" i mean the earth was sweet until humans came along and started throwing shit away and polluting it. the earth wont last forever. all we can do is recycle to slow down the process!!
"Do you have any evidence that they're happening more frequently, or are you just observing?" Since we began recording major earthquakes around a century ago, the Earth has averaged 1 earthquake greater than 8.0 in magnitude each year. This can be easily confirmed by looking at USGS data. In roughly 3 months, there have been 3 such earthquakes. And the tectonic stresses on several plates indicate that there will likely be more this year. At the very least, another major "aftershock" near Banda Aceh is quite likely, although it's hard to call these things aftershocks when they're among the biggest quakes in recent history in their own right. It's fine to make guesses as to the source of all this (and whether or not the Earth has a motive), but regardless of the source, it is nonetheless not "business as usual" for modern human civilization. For the Earth's history as a whole, I'm sure it's perfectly normal, but for this current (rather awkward) phase of humanity, it's not exactly what we're used to experiencing.
"A report I read said the two quakes were not related to one another." The quakes applied to the same fault line(s) based on similar stresses, and occurred in relative proximity to each other. From my point of view they're certainly "related". Then again I suppose given that we're living on a closed system of the Earth's crust, all earthquakes are related in some way.
i agree that although it is not our "job" to be saviors being saviors will help us to survuve longer. so we would really be our own saviors. lol im incoherent tonight dont mind me
I don't think the Earth is warning us, it's just a natural process. Earth isn't a nice place, most of us on here are lucky enough to live in a relatively quiet time & place, but it's a pretty hostile environment if you look not at a few hundred or even a few thousand years, but at Earth's entire history. There will be periods of heavy earthquakes, volcano's, ice ages and perhaps meteorites again, and lots of life as we know it will die out... Earth itself won't even notice. The tiny impact we have with our pollution makes a big difference to *us*, and to the other life forms on Earth... but not to the planet, it'll keep turning whether it has an ozone layer or not. And perhaps it'll develop a kind of life that can handle a lot more cosmic rays, or even something that's resistant against radiation if we still manage to blow up all current life with nuclear weapons. It won't be us, it may not be anything like us, but it may happen. Or not. The planet itself won't care.
When people talk of volcanoes, most think of Mount St. Helens and others, but the supervolcano that can be found underneath Yellowstone National Park is no ordinary volcano. The supervolcano is probably the largest active volcano in the world and makes Mount St. Helens look like a firework in comparison. When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, it sent a column of smoke and ash 80,000 feet into the sky and released 1.4 billion cubic yards of ash over an area of 22,000 square miles. It also killed 57 people. When the supervolcano last erupted (640,000 years ago) it released 8,000 times the ash and lava of Mount St. Helens! You might be thinking that after such a long time the chances of another eruption like that are slim? Unfortunately not, the Supervolcano has erupted (on average) almost every 730,000 years during the last 2 million years. And whilst there is no regular pattern to the eruptions, recent studies seem to indicate that changes are taking place. Experts believe that warnings will be noticed before such an eruption, one being a higher number of small Earthquakes. Over the last 3 years, the number of "significant" Earthquakes have been increasing (worldwide), although not by any great percentage. However, the number of quakes in the first 3 months of this year are around 20% higher than 2004 (mainly around the edge of the Pacific Ocean). True, the major Earthquake near Sumatra has had some effect on these figures, but the big quake happened in 2004 (not 2005). Some believe that the activity seen around Indonesia is a sign of something even bigger on the way (and we do mean big!). Quakes have been recorded almost every day since December 2004 and this is very unusual. It is not impossible that a future quake may go off the scale! Apart from the unbelievable destruction this would cause in the surrounding area from a huge tsunami and structural damage, the shock to the planet could set off an eruption in the supervolcano under Yellowstone. But there is also another event that could do this, something called a gravity wave. For those who have been reading our previous articles on this, you will remember that James Finn, the author of Pandora's Hope, has predicted that a Galactic Super Wave (or gravity wave) is expected to hit the planet in the future. In fact, he has reason to believe that this will begin in March 2006. The force of a gravity wave will have the power to trigger Earthquakes and volcanoes on a wide scale, although the wave itself will probably be sufficient to create a global destruction on its own. Such a wave has appeared three times before in our planets history and James believes that we were given the information of the fourth many years ago. Unfortunately, this information has become either lost or confused over time. Although not everyone believes in UFO's and Aliens, it appears that they do have the knowledge of when this will happen and it seems it is their intention to save some of us before the event, as they have done before. Most people of course will react in a fairly predictable way as soon as you mention this subject and the jokes about little green men start to flow hard and fast. What people fail to realize is that UFO's didn't just suddenly appear after Roswell. UFO's have been making their appearances for more than 2000 years. Whilst recent sightings could be blamed on Sci-Fi movies, these were not around a few hundred years ago and to mention such things could actually be bad for your health in those days. But, despite all this, pictures of UFO's have been appearing in pictures and paintings for hundreds of years. Not something the sceptics can put down to fake photography this time! We have included a few pictures to make our point. The first is a painting by Aert De Gelder (1710). What made the artist paint a disc like object in the sky? And what about "The Crucifixion" painted in 1350, what else could those strange craft be in the top right and left hand corners? (We have included a larger image of the one on the right. What about "The Miracle of the Snow" by Masolino Da Panicale circa 1400 below. Are those UFO's in the background? And are those people standing in a craft? There is certainly no doubt in our minds that UFO's have played a bigger part in our lives than many care to imagine, but some prefer to stick to the "beam me up scotty" jokes. Perhaps in the near future (maybe next year?) the joking may stop when the "critics" see their world falling apart. We shall see? We hope to provide another article on the Supervolcano in about a weeks time, in the meantime, you may care to monitor the Earthquakes yourself. We think you will find that they are becoming more frequent. Sadly, should we witness a supervolcano erupt, it is not an experience we will remember for very long. Those living close to the eruption (most of America) will see the results the quickest of course, but the rest of the planet will not escape the effects. The ash from such an eruption will block out the sun and completely change our climate. A much smaller eruption happened 74,000 years ago in Toba, Indonesia, which almost wiped out mankind. If the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it will almost certainly do that! The question does not seem to be if, but when?
