Ophiolite Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Isis? Did you mean IRIS? The latter is an association of research institutes involved in seismology. They have several data bases, some of which are populated automatically. So, some questions: 1. Did you mean IRIS, if not, what is ISIS? 2. Where and when are the quakes you refer to? Can you provide a link to verify their location and character? 3. What specific data base are you not seeing them reported on? If you mean IRIS, then IRIS and the USGS are different entities. Do you believe that every earthquake in the US is recorded in every data base and published on every site relating to seismic events? There is a practical certainty of a major earthquake from Washington D.C. to Missouri. It is just very unlikely to occur any time soon. Why the paranoia? If it is a medical condition, accept my regrets and I'll withdraw now. If it's an educational deficiency I can work with you to correct it.

Ophiolite Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Small earthquakes are going on all the time. Some databases have cut-offs on the magnitude of earthquake they will record. There is nothing sinister about that. Earthquakes are studied for a variety of reasons and small earthquakes could detract from proper studies of some issues. That is not cherry picking, it is focusing. Even if an earthquake is recorded in a database it will not follow that all will then be reported on line. Again, nothing sinister, its a matter of bandwidth and judged relevance. Remember, this was reported on your local news station. It was important locally. It seems it was very unimportant elsewhere. You said being paranoid has kept you alive for forty five years, but how do you know its not because they are looking after you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
