ZAMG: The Tohoku quake triggers oscillations of the earth

Re: ZAMG: The Tohoku quake triggers oscillations of the earth

Fascinating.

It's amazing that this earthquake can be so much stronger that it can have this type of impact, where other earthquakes aren't even close.

Since last December, I'd been watching the seismographs associated with the 5 volcanoes closest to Anchorage, AK. While one was "cooling down", there were 3 others that showed increasing harmonic tremors and definate plate plunging gas-rising small quakes (at about 62 miles depth). After this quake, they all "quieted" down and haven't resumed their pre-Japan activity - yet. My unscientific explanation is that the quake gave everthing a good shake and settled down the subsurface activity - at least temporarily.

Re: ZAMG: The Tohoku quake triggers oscillations of the earth

Another possibility is the earths crust moved 8 feet to the west thus reducing pressure on the other three compass points......at least for the short time. A tad more disturbing is those oscillations may 'vibrate' another plate already near the breaking point to fracture.

Yes - might that be preceeded by a cluster of earthquakes in areas where that cluster is abnormal?

BTW - how did the Cascades volcanoes and Yellowstone react?

Re: ZAMG: The Tohoku quake triggers oscillations of the earth

Harmonic tremor and small quakes under both Yellowstone and the Cascade area. Even St. Helens. Mt Baker went active Feb. 27th, I believe. I've been watching it for a while now. The tremor appeared to coincide with the quakes in Japan, but i'm no expert in this area. I have watched the USGS website daily for at least 10 years. All the activity seems to have quieted down in the past couple of days. Here are some great links:

East of the Great Hanshin earthquake, the earth five weeks Meteorological Observation

 The first earthquake surface waves of earthquakes that occurred on 11 East (seismic wave traveling through the Earth's surface), but at least five weeks the Earth (200,000 km) that he had to observe the town JMA Matsushiro Seismological Nagano found in the observation room.

 The observation room has analyzed data from 700 meters underground seismometer installed in the premises of 11 days from the time the earthquake. As a result, once observed immediately after the earthquake surface waves of earthquakes. Direction from the Pacific Ocean about two hours after the earthquake (east) direction of the Asian Continent (West) was observed around the globe that has come back in two waves, respectively. Surface wave is observed every 2.5 hours afterwards, it was confirmed that five times except for wave after wave surface seismic.

 Mikami Naoya observation chamber chief said, "generally, comparing the distance from the epicenter, and in anticipation of the position is not, this earthquake has a source region of large scale said was unprecedented in the past" he said.

 The observation room was established in 1947 as an annex to the Central Meteorological Observatory Matsushiro on the site of Matsushiro Imperial Headquarters was built by the end of World War II Imperial Japanese Army. As the Japan Meteorological Agency seismic facility is the largest earthquake in the world is observing the staff 14 people. (Ueda Yuu)

I also posted an article that said the Japan quake affected water tables in Florida here:
