and theories?

question: what are seismic activities?

earthquakes ...

the plates are moving!

Umm... Yea... I agree with Hassan.

It's really common, but maybe not in that part of the world.

whats uncommon is the fact that multiple earth quakes happening withing a few miles of each other with similar strength and depth. last time I've seen this a volcano went kaboom

Umm...the land is moving the yearly 2 cm?

The Intracoastal Waterway gets 1 cm larger each year. No big deal.

1 cm is a big deal over time though.

i feel that very few people share my love of earth science. well ill put it this way, that's at a diverging boundary, in other words very low pressure.

I like chem

chem is ok .. when you have a good teacher ...

I like geneology.

Pried I noticed that the same place is the only place that has Earthquakes....coincidence?

heres my theory:
Asia and Australia will collide with Noth and South America, thus remaking Pangea

the world is already planed out and Ahmed good job, you found what i was trying to get across!

Umm... Yea, seismic activities are earthquakes... But they could be really weak.

right now i would like this thread to be renamed as "What I reckon... : seismic activity" just because were just having a good old reckon at what some of these things mean.

Ill change the title if Pried says so...

go ahead. also ill give a cookie to anyone who can guess what area has the most seismic activity in the world

Hawaii....also knwon as the "Hotspot"

nope, a hot spot is a spon in the crust that has a magma pocket under it , the crust in this area is very thin and you did list the best known one. did you know yellow stone is a hot spot?

It's the South-Pacific and Indian Oceans. Around Indeonesia and India.

very good fang =) you should get a cookie some time in the mail next year

It wasn't too hard to figure out. All of the tsunamies happen there. Lots if plates moving around.
