Are we being pounded by the sun.

It seems strange to me that both the New Zealand earthquake and the one that happened today in Japan both occurred within Hours of X type flares on the sun. The latest one has caused interference with the earths magnetic field and Auroras can be expected at both poles over the next day or so.
I know this is off topic but since Sunspot Cycle 24 started in January 2010, we have had some very major events happen on the planet.

Well who knows hey, anything is possible.
I do know that the earths crust is buckling and groaning every day due to the tug of the moon and the sun and all that hot stuff not so very far beneath our feet. But earthquakes happen somewhere every day around the major fault lines(Ring Of Fire) day or night solar flare or no solar flare. There are so many flares happening most of the time, some big and some not so big so it's a fair bet that at some time a flare will line up with an earthquake.....Maybe?? or sumfingk,...I dunno.... Bludddy el,.... I iz jus a num nut. .....Ow shud I kno?...

Your to late Adrian.Its gonna burn burn burn the ring of fire,Johny Cash ladies & gentlemen.

Cheers kon61.

Just think from the beginning of this year we have had, floods in Qld, NSW & Vic, bush fires in Perth WA, Tornado in Qld, Earth Quakes in New Zealand and now in Japan followed by a tsunami. Boy and we are just 2 weeks into March. What the rest of the year got installed for us. I think 2011 may be a bad year if this is any indication I don't think that I have mist any?

There are 2 dates to watch in March. (or close either side) 19th and 22nd. There is a very good reason for these things happening but this isn't the forum for discussing it. We have only seen the start of it.

Panther

Although not the forum to point this out, those dates are for the 16th International Pharmacy Exhibition in Lahore, Pakistan (also the Fellows sale in Birmingham starts then).

yep...I didn't want to raise it either as I'd hate to cause a panic and frankly mankind would be better off being blissfully unaware. But seeing as Panther has let the cat out of the bag...I have a barbers appointment around those dates

"Cead Mile Failte" (a hundred thousand welcomes)
Top o' the morning to ya Panther, you are nearly right. The date you are looking for is
17th March - Yes, its ST. PATRICKS DAY.!!!!!!

Well maybe if the Poles do flip then something very hot and sticky inside the earth has also got to move in order for the poles to do their flip. So I guess if a lot of the molten stuff does a bit of a turn then we will probably cop some big earthquakes as all that stuf starts flowing in different directions putting pressure on the mantel and crust and then the ocean floor will split open and the water will rush in to hot interior causing humungas steam explosions and fracturing of rocks and then the oceans will form different coastlines and then the earth will tune over on its axis and then we will realy be in deep water without a rubber ducky to hang onto.

OH yea I almost forgot:
Then the magma will break through into the natural underground oil and gas chambers causing them to ignite and break through the earths crust and then the earth will take off into space like a baloon with the air escaping''''Yee Haaa! what a ride that will be.

Yep theres been quite a bit of Bad happenings thruout Oz lately!! Also Wa had a fire near Lake clifton that destroyed homes, Extensive flooding in areas like the Gascoyne/Murchison and some major storm Damage to areas in the wheatbelt, Pilbara and Perth. Whats next?

There was a guy on television a few weeks ago who predicted the date of the Christchurch earthquake with uncanny precision and he also predicted one in Tonga. I'm pretty sure he said it would take place today (the prediction was shown on the 6.30pm program a couple of weeks ago). Seems Tonga got hit a few hours ago: Tonga Hit By 6.1 Magnitude Earthquake this afternoon.

It might be the same guy, but one self appointed expert says solar flares are the contributing element for our earthquakes. He uses computer simulations to predict the events long ahead of their event. I don't know if his predictions are accurate but he was pretty bang-on in relation to the Christchurch quake.



Now, the Supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park (the so-called 'planet-killer') has been growing as the magma chamber forces upheavals at an unusual rate at the moment. Some alarm has been shown by a handful of scientists. One thing they do agree on is that the Supervolcano will definitely erupt. When, exactly, is hard to say. Could be today or it could be 10,000 years from now. But the magma chamber beneath the caldera has swollen at an unusual rate just this year and scientists were going to update the warning to Amber (it is currently on green). It has the potential to kill a heck of a lot of Americans before the dust cloud envelops the earth and we die from the 'nuclear winter' that it is predicted to generate as most surface life on the planet dies. Scientists have recently suggested drilling and using explosives to release some of the pressure from the magma chamber of the Yellowstone Supervolcano. Unfortunately we do not have the means to partake in this option due to limitations in technology at the present. I'm wondering if the seismic events this year (over 1620 earthquake 'swarms' in Yellowstone alone in 2010) will influence dormant volcanic systems. Regardless, a region of several hundred kilometers has risen another 3 inches per year in the last few years, suggesting that the Supervolcano has something special in store for us. Science is awesome! Tsunamis (on the other hand) are tragic. I'm stunned the Labor party aren't trying to blame all these natural international disasters on Carbon pollution. I bet they wish the could!

Oh AdrianSS. That is the Fracking that is going to cause that....

MMMmmmmm, Arent the planets all lining up some time next year to create DOOMS day??

Interesting post on Yellowstone, Nero, but do you really need to make snide political comments as those above. I hoped you were better than that.

Be prepared for perpetual disappointment, Osama: As long as ANY political body continues to pump false 'scientific' data into the public arena, I'll be as sarcastic as I darn well please. A Carbon Tax is something that needs more evidence for necessity before I consider it to be anything more than a method to tax the air we breathe. And a broken election promise is enough to turn even the most ardent supporters against our current puppet PM. I'm not being stubborn and I'd accept it like a bitter pill if I thought it was remotely necessary.

Didn't your mother teach you to appreciate your Greens? [more insidious sarcasm].

AAWWW shucks man I iz only joshin.....Weeeelll, sort of anyway.

Every bit a spot on article Nero. PM with your email if you want the truth on carbon. The pollies are either lying or just plain haven't got a clue or been misinformed.

Ooooooh Nero, starting to sound a bit childish there. There are people of all political persuations on this forum, & as this forum is mainly to do with prospecting, i would respectfully suggest that if you wish to indulge in biased political comments, then go join a political forum. Last word on this & have a nice day.

If all carbon producing industry in Australia was shut down tomorrow there would not be a measurable reduction in the global carbon emissions as a result, not even after 10 years. There would however be an enormous and immediate detrimental impact on our cost and standard of living.

Our population is approx 22 million and our industrial regions are spread all around our coastline and overall, are minute when compared to the developed industrial world.

A carbon tax in australia is pure BS and nothing more than another money grab that the Gov know they can get away with because of the continual and planned Dumbing down of our society. People are becoming appathetic to the extent that they can be duped into thinking something ridiculous actually sounds OK. eg: Black should be called Rainbow Australians should change our own culture to accomodate the beliefs of fanatic religious groups who want to live here but don't want to support our way of life or our beliefs

You got that right AdrianSS.
Worst part is that they teach our kids lies.
Even after Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth has been proven wrong
in at least 9 facts by a court of law in the UK, and now must have a balance
of information presented when it is shown in schools in the UK.

In Australia, it can be shown in schools unencumbered.

If I made up lies to extort money from people I'd be charged with fraud!
Some how our prime minister Bob Gillard oops I mean Julia Brown gets awy with it clean! ??

And yesterday there was an earthquake registered 43 kms s/e of Cairns. It registered 4 on the scale.

When I lived on Bougainville we would get small tremors nearly every day, also the occasional big one. We had a bronze frying pan hanging on the wall in the living room and it would often start to sway letting us know that there was a tremor. In the biggest one it actually fell off the hook. 7.6 really rattles the house.

Bougainville is on the join of Asia and Pacific plates. If it was quiet ( no tremors) we knew it was building up to a big jolt. It is amazing to see wave formation going across the football field and it goes back flat after the event.

Only during daylight hours.

Yes we are living in imntresting times indeed. But, at the end of the day, there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. The world had gone through this cycle of events time and time again, major earthquakes followed by the tsunamis, heating up, icecaps melting, ice ages, meteor impacts etc, and we still developed into a somewhat intelligent race of beings (though sure some will dispute this) It is juse a natural cycle of events, we just happen to be around during this increased period. It is all natural (except for the possible meltdown of the Japanese power plant).
I just live life to its fullest and hope things all work themselves out. Am sure this is just beginning of it though

I agree Xenon except about the intelligence part of your statement.
When you see the behaviour of the warlike middle-east countries and the fact that this hasn't ceased througout the centuries then I am afraid that any other-world onlookers could only regard us as nothing but savages.
We can be thankful that Australia is isolated from this culture and we can only hope it remains that way.
