Unusual Earthquake Off Oregon Coast (USA)

This article, with earthquakes taking place in the middle of the plate reminds me of the New Madrid fault system. (Amish Country)

"Unusual Earthquake Swarm Off Oregon Coast Puzzles Scientists
ScienceDaily (Apr. 14, 2008) ? Scientists at Oregon State University?s Hatfield Marine Science Center have recorded more than 600 earthquakes in the last 10 days off the central Oregon coast in an area not typically known for a high degree of seismic activity......"

"The fact that it?s taking place in the middle of the plate, and not a boundary, is puzzling,? Dziak admitted. ?It?s something worth keeping an eye on.?

The volcanic 'hot spot' known as Yellowstone (yes, the one over in Wyoming), originated millions of years ago, in central Oregon. It's responsible for the unique geological unit, the massive flood basalts of the Columbia Basin plateau.

It's not surprising that percussive pressures might pass through the plate and 'resonate' at the boundary of the Columbia Plateau. In fact, there are records of frequent swarms of earthquakes at relict volcanic cones (known as 'buttes') situated along the WA/ID and OR/ID borders. Earthquakes are also recorded at interior locations of the Columbia Basin, along fault lines. All interior locations, well away from plate boundaries.

So, when we are looking at an area between the Cascade Range and interface of the Pacific and North American plates, earthquake swarms would be plausible.

The Western US is very geologically active, and quite interesting to study.

Bold is mine, Snowy

Buttes is a New-France Word that has been inspired by the geomorphy AND the Oral Tradition of First Allies of Nouvelle-France, now call First Nations.

I can assure you that the knowledge of the ground by First Nations have a databank of unknown proportions, even for universitariens.

Each Buttes is a podium, Romans called it Tribunes for Tribun.

We have some eloquent Tribun on this site.

Back to the buttes, lol for a french english translator polyglotte, lol

Sorry fell off my chair, lo?

The Guardian of the Live Narrow Relations with Mother Nature invites us to sit on our butt on the buttes, because this granth perception of sometimes specific, wave, energy and yes, a denomination.

In Toponimy, the Foot on the Ground denomination of space carries its specificities most of the Time, they are authentic.

The French word was chosen as a 'Carrier' by the J?suites.

First Nations 'buttes'' pop-out after lake water radically shift.

Looking at the status of the lakes of Northern US is, for us, now, in symbiose with telluric waves.

"Looking at the status of the lakes of Northern US is, for us, now, in symbiose with telluric waves."

Speaking of telluric waves, do you know of geomagnetic fields at the Earth's surface?

It's coupled to the deep surface field of the earths crust and also to the ionosphere of the Earths atmosphere. In turn, the ionosphere resonates and is coupled to solar wind and intergalactic waves.

The latter, in disturbance due to 'recent nearfield' (in astrophysical timescale) events, has left a very important signature at the Earths surface, through this very large-scale energy flux coupling.

You will enjoy the explanation of connectedness.

It would be a very good thing and interesting.

Re: Unusual Earthquake Off Oregon Coast (USA)

A question for Oracle - In very simple terms, would this be true?

If the earths surface is warmer than normal or 'average' , it would have greater energy, producing faster movement of the worlds tectonic plates. If this warming happens slowly over time, the earths plates move gently, producing a pattern of earthquakes etc we are used to seeing over the millenia. However, if the warming is rapid, or the temperature change between seasons is more extreme, then the change of speed of plate movement is increased, and produces greater instability = more earthquakes and volcanic activity?

I base this guess on the following:- The rate of heat transfer from the earths core to the atmosphere would reduce in a world with a warmer surface (based on simple laws of thermodynamics), resulting in a greater degree of energy within the earths surface. The mechanisms are bound to be far more complex, but, is this logical as a starting explanation, at least in part?

Re: Unusual Earthquake Off Oregon Coast (USA)

Yesterday my husband was talking to a coworker out in California. While they were talking an earthquake occurred in California and the coworker said, "It rattled a few things." She also said they tend to have more quakes "when the weather gets weird." Meaning there are dramatic shifts in temperature in a short period of time. A temperature shift had occured before the quake.

Re: Unusual Earthquake Off Oregon Coast (USA)

Please understand, I am not a geophysicist. In a multiphase coupled system, heat/energy transfer is a function of controlling factor variability within each phase, interphase flux and external flux rate (heat loss to space). However, there is also temporally varying coupling of acquired energy from solar winds and intergalactic media (nonsteady state) at the exterior boundary It might surprise some here to learn of the thermal capacity of the upper atmosphere of Earth, where solar wind interacts directly with the Earths atmospheric/geomagnetic envelope. You might envision the thermal layers as (interior earth) hot-warm -cooler-very warm-warm-cold (external thin atmosphere). Complex.
