Hi Alvin,
Love your website have been following for weeks – Japan seems to be very active right now, do you still think its building up for something bigger?

The geological clock is ticking for turbulence in the Pacific as the planet tilts more towards the spectrum of the catastrophic. The magma below the planet is stirring, forces are building, and tectonic plates are growing restless from the pressures though men do not discern a great season of change is upon us. More quakes will follow. As I have said before, the Japanese islands will eventually break-up and descend into the sea. The firey chasms that has ignited volcanoes on land will unleash their fury under the sea and the process which created the volcanic islands in the Pacific will reclaim many of them one by one.

Hi, I was particularly interested and fascinated with your comments. Just two quick questions for you.
Might this break-up happen in a few years or might we see some activity in the coming months as a result of abnormal aftershocks. Finally with a major break-up and your suggestion that Japan may go into the sea as also predicted by Edgar Cayce many years ago,we can assume sea levels would rise within hours of a major sinking of such a large island as Japan. Any comments would be welcome.

Peter, since this is a geological process——I cannot say when it will happen. Some islands in the Pacific will fail because of seimsic activity, others will be affected because of a volcanic firestorm that will engulf the islands. This events are likely to happen at the omega stage of this crisis, though some may happen prior to. Many islands in the Pacific were created by volcanic processes, and many currently straddle volcanoes or lie near volcanic arcs or trenches. 500 million people on the planet live in high-risk seismic zones. A significant loss of life should be expected if people are in harms way during an event. As volcanic activity increases, these areas will be perturbed. Since these are unprecedented events; they could involve an entire region—-so it would be speculative to try to pinpoint tsunami impact at this juncture. The regions will give clues; we must be willing to listen and not rest in the fact that this is just the planet doing its thing as it has always done.

Alvin, I know that after a large quake there are many aftershocks, but they usually decrease in intensity. I read that because the aftershocks in Japan seem to be getting bigger, rather than smaller, it is a sign that perhaps the first large quake and subsequent large aftershocks were more like pre-shocks to a much larger quake coming. I wanted your opinion on this and was wondering if that has ever happened before?
LikeLike
Yes, they usually decrease in intensity. And no, this has never happened before. It is not necessarily preshocks…it just means the seismic process tearing at the ocean floor is still kinetic…powerful, and very dangerous.
LikeLike
so does that mean that we should expect more to come? so the 5.0 mags on China here and there is because of the Japan plates still buckling? should we expect another megathrust in this plate or in the western part of the globe?
LikeLike
Japan is not settled. More megathrust quakes could hit the Pacific region. Global tectonic plates are in a wild flux.

Alvin – just to say thank you for your fantastic website. I never cease to be amazed by what we are not being told by the regular media, especially with regard to the ceaseless, increasing earthquake and volcanic activity in certain parts of the world. Thanks to websites like yours, the truth is out there for those of us who intuitively discern that something isn’t right with our world, and are concerned enough to seek it out! Thanks again, Michelle (Ireland)

Here’s a question I hope can be answered with certainty. As I pulled up the link above I noticed this. “ata from station BILL (Bilibino, Russia)
last updated at Tue 03/22/11 22:45 MDT (Wed 03/23/11 04:45 GMT)” the graph shows almost a fluctuated trend. What I mean is it almost looks like a normal seismic reading that’s been shaken like an etch-a-sketch. What’s this referred to as? The scattered lines that look like echoes of the main reading.

Thought some of the reports saying tsunami was 30′ plus feet were wrong, considering damage to tall buildings.
It’s hard to picture a 77′ tsunami. Imagine how much more damage if a larger quake does hit Japan and was followed by a tsunami.
