地球と空の振動: Seismic tension on northern Japan highlights escalating danger

May 22, 2011 – JAPAN – The recent seismic breakout of 7 earthquakes along the northern sector of Sendai Japan should let us know the 9.0 March 11, 2011 Tōhoku earthquake was no random event. It underscores the fact that agitated earth, once awakened under Japan, will never acquiesce again. The tension for another large quake is building. The geological awakening of forces harnessing the driving motion of tectonic plate subduction, convulsing subterranean magma, and shaking seamounts that stand guard over volcanic arcs and trenches is now astir across the globe. –The Extinction Protocol

 Tension strike anomaly: Mark Simons, professor of geophysics at Caltech’s Seismological Laboratory says one of the most interesting findings of the data analysis of the March 11 Japanese quake was the spatial compactness of the event. The megathrust earthquake occurred at a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate dips below Japan. The length of fault that experienced significant slip during the Tohoku-Oki earthquake was about 250 kilometers, about half of what would be conventionally expected for an event of this magnitude. Further, the largest amount of stress (which is what generates the highest-frequency waves) was found at the edges of the slip, not near the center of where the fault began to break. –Science Daily
