Gradually adding images to this and other Hiroshima galleries.
The Hiroshima Tour Guides walk the Peace Park area of Hiroshima enthusiastically educating visitors about the need for the world to act to prevent nuclear proliferation as well as educating visitors about the history of the A Bomb dropped with such catastrophic effect on Hiroshima on 6th August 1945.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park: The A-Bomb Dome.
The A-Bomb Dome is the skeletal ruins of the former Industrial Promotion Hall. It is the building closest to the hypocenter of the nuclear bomb that remained at least partially standing. It was left how it was after the bombing in memory of the casualties. The A-Bomb Dome, to which a sense of sacredness and transcendence has been attributed, is situated in a distant ceremonial view that is visible from the Peace Memorial Park’s central cenotaph. It is an officially designated site of memory for the nation’s and humanity’s collectively shared heritage of catastrophe. The A-Bomb Dome is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

( It claimed eleven lives[6][7][8][9] and is considered the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry, an estimated 8% to 31% larger in volume than the previously largest, the Ixtoc I oil spill. Following the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, a sea-floor oil gusher flowed for 87 days, until it was capped on 15 July 2010.[8][10] The US Government estimated the total discharge at 4.9 million barrels (210 million US gal; 780,000 m3).[3] After several failed efforts to contain the flow, the well was declared sealed on 19 September 2010.[11] Some reports indicate the well site continues to leak.[12][13](per wikipedia..

(The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku (東北地方太平洋沖地震 Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin?), often referred to in Japan as the Great East Japan Earthquake (東日本大震災 Higashi nihon daishinsai?)[8][9][10][fn 1] and also known as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake,[11] and the 3.11 Earthquake, was a magnitude 9.0 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday 11 March 2011,[2][3][12] with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 30 km (19 mi).[2][13] It was the most powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan, and the fifth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.[12][14][15] The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 metres (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku's Iwate Prefecture,[16][17] and which, in the Sendai area, travelled up to 10 km (6 mi) inland.[18] The earthquake moved Honshu (the main island of Japan) 2.4 m (8 ft) east and shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in),[19][20][21] and generated sound waves detected by the low orbiting GOCE satellite.[22]
On 12 September 2012, a Japanese National Police Agency report confirmed 15,883 deaths,[23] 6,150 injured,[24] and 2,643 people missing[25] across twenty prefectures, as well as 129,225 buildings totally collapsed, with a further 254,204 buildings 'half collapsed', and another 691,766 buildings partially damaged.[26] The earthquake and tsunami also caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse.[18][27] Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said, "In the 65 years after the end of World War II, this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan."[28] Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water.[29]
The main earthquake was preceded by a number of large foreshocks, with hundreds of aftershocks reported. The first major foreshock was a 7.2 MW event on 9 March, approximately 40 km (25 mi) from the epicenter of the 11 March earthquake, with another three on the same day in excess of 6.0 MW.[2][40] Following the main earthquake on 11 March, a 7.0 MW aftershock was reported at 15:06 JST (6:06 UTC), succeeded by a 7.4 MW at 15:15 JST (6:16 UTC) and a 7.2 MW at 15:26 JST (6:26 UTC).[41] Over eight hundred aftershocks of magnitude 4.5 MW or greater have occurred since the initial quake,[42] including one on 26 October 2013 (local time) of magnitude 7.3.[43] Aftershocks follow Omori's Law, which states that the rate of aftershocks declines with the reciprocal of the time since the main quake. The aftershocks will thus taper off in time, but could continue for years.[44](per wikipedia :)

how does it feel now Jami, to know the same is happening
to you :)

there you go :)
btw, did i channel her ill will and associations unknowingly, and did it kill alisa ferraro and paul gagnon in time, to?

This map shows a cluster of 96 earthquake events that occurred on the 10th and 11th of September 2020 south of Yellowstone Lake's West Thumb. Quake magnitudes ranged from 0.1 to 2.8. Clusters of earthquakes are called "swarms".
Update: a total of 114 earthquakes occurred.
--------------------------------
An earthquake is a natural shaking or vibrating of the Earth caused by sudden fault movement and a rapid release of energy. Earthquake activity is called "seismicity". The study of earthquakes is called "seismology". The actual underground location of an earthquake is the hypocenter, or focus. The site at the Earth's surface, directly above the hypocenter, is the epicenter. Minor earthquakes may occur before a major event - such small quakes are called foreshocks. Minor to major quakes after a major event are aftershocks.
Most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries, such as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, collision zones, and transform plate boundaries. They also occur at hotspots - large subsurface mantle plumes (Examples: Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, Afar).
Earthquakes generate four types of shock waves: P-waves, S-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and S-waves are body waves - they travel through solid rocks. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only at the surface - they are surface waves. P-waves are push-pull waves that travel quickly and cause little damage. S-waves are up-and-down waves (like flicking a rope) that travel slowly and cause significant damage. Love waves are side-to-side surface waves, like a slithering snake. Rayleigh waves are rotational surface waves, somewhat like ripples from tossing a pebble into a pond.
Earthquakes are associated with many specific hazards, such as ground shaking, ground rupturing, subsidence (sinking), uplift (rising), tsunamis, landslides, fires, and liquefaction.
Some famous major earthquakes in history include: Shensi, China in 1556; Lisbon, Portugal in 1755; New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812; San Francisco, California in 1906; Anchorage, Alaska in 1964; and Loma Prieta, California in 1989.
This is a seismogram from the Incheon seismic station in South Korea. The noise is from a magnitude 3.6 earthquake that hit along the eastern side of the Yellow Sea, in the North Korea-South Korea border area. The quake occurred at 1:28 AM, local time, on 9 January 2023. The epicenter was on the southwestern side of Gyodong Island in the Han River Estuary, on the South Korean side of the border. The hypocenter was between 15 and 20 kilometers deep.

This is a seismogram from the Matsushiro seismic station in Japan. The prominent noise on the 20:00 and 21:00 lines in the middle of the graph was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.0 earthquake that hit offshore from the Kuril Islands between Japan and Kamchatka. The quake occurred at 6:25 AM, local time, on 21 September 2021. The epicenter was about 63 kilometers southeast of (offshore from) Simushir Island in the central Kurils. The hypocenter was about 25 kilometers deep.
This was a subduction zone earthquake. The Pacific Plate is subducting northwestward beneath the Okhotsk Plate in the northern Japan-Kuril Islands-Kamchatka Peninsula area. The subduction zone's surface expression is a deep seafloor trough called the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench.
This quake occurred during a Moon-Earth-Sun alignment.

This is a seismogram for the Mount Denham seismic station in Jamaica. The tallest black scribble in the right half of the graph was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 7.2 earthquake that hit in the Tiburon Peninsula, southwestern Haiti. The quake occurred at 8:29 AM, local time, on 14 August 2021. The epicenter was about 7 kilometers west-northwest of the town of Bertrana, Haiti.
This earthquake resulted from left lateral slip combined with reverse faulting along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault Zone, which is a transform plate boundary. The fault defines the southern boundary of the Gonâve Plate (Gonâve Microplate), a narrow strip-shaped tectonic plate in the Cuba-Jamaica-Hispañola area. This microplate is located between the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate, which are sliding past each other by left lateral slip.
The noise in the left half of the graph was caused by an offshore Alaska Peninsula earthquake of magnitude 6.9 - it occurred about a half-hour earlier than the Haiti quake.

This is a seismogram from the Lake Erie Bluffs seismic station in Ohio. The blip near the left end of the 04:00 line (not the tiny zig-zags; click on the image once or twice to zoom in) was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 1.4 earthquake that hit about 5 kilometers east of the town of Concord in Lake County, northeastern Ohio. The quake occurred at 11:00 PM, local time, on 14 October 2021. The hypocenter was about 7 kilometers deep.
Ohio earthquakes are rare and usually small in magnitude. Two areas in Ohio have more frequent quakes than elsewhere: 1) western Ohio and 2) northeastern Ohio. This particular quake occurred along northeastern Ohio's Akron Magnetic Boundary, a northeast-to-southwest trending lineation developed in Precambrian basement rocks.
--------------------------------
From Dart & Hansen (2008) - Earthquakes in Ohio and vicinity, 1776-2007. United States Geological Survey Open-File Report 2008-1221:
The Northeast Ohio seismic zone has had moderately frequent earthquakes at least since the first one was reported in 1836. The largest earthquake in this zone (magnitude 5.0) occurred in 1986. This event produced Modified Mercalli intensities of VI in the epicentral region. A damaging earthquake (magnitude 5.2) occurred in 1998 near Pymatuning in northwestern Pennsylvania, just east of the Ohio border. An earthquake in the Ashtabula, Ohio area (magnitude 4.3) in 2001 caused minor damage. Historically, this zone has recorded only a few earthquakes per decade, but felt earthquakes have been reported more frequently in recent decades. This is probably a result of increased population, greater public awareness, improved communications, and perhaps episodic seismicity.

An earthquake is a natural shaking or vibrating of the Earth caused by sudden fault movement and a rapid release of energy. Earthquake activity is called "seismicity". The study of earthquakes is called "seismology". The actual underground location of an earthquake is the hypocenter, or focus. The site at the Earth's surface, directly above the hypocenter, is the epicenter. Minor earthquakes may occur before a major event - such small quakes are called foreshocks. Minor to major quakes after a major event are aftershocks.
Most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries, such as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, collision zones, and transform plate boundaries. They also occur at hotspots - large subsurface mantle plumes (Examples: Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, Afar).
Earthquakes generate four types of shock waves: P-waves, S-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and S-waves are body waves - they travel through solid rocks. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only at the surface - they are surface waves. P-waves are push-pull waves that travel quickly and cause little damage. S-waves are up-and-down waves (like flicking a rope) that travel slowly and cause significant damage. Love waves are side-to-side surface waves, like a slithering snake. Rayleigh waves are rotational surface waves, somewhat like ripples from tossing a pebble into a pond.
Earthquakes are associated with many specific hazards, such as ground shaking, ground rupturing, subsidence (sinking), uplift (rising), tsunamis, landslides, fires, and liquefaction.
Some famous major earthquakes in history include: Shensi, China in 1556; Lisbon, Portugal in 1755; New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812; San Francisco, California in 1906; Anchorage, Alaska in 1964; and Loma Prieta, California in 1989.
This is a seismogram from the Kabul seismic station in Afghanistan. The noise is from a magnitude 6.8 earthquake that hit the Pamir Mountains of eastern Tajikistan, central Asia. The quake occurred at 5:37 AM, local time, on 23 February 2023. The hypocenter was about 20 kilometers deep.
The Pamir Mountains are part of a widespread orogenic zone formed by tectonic collision. The Indian Subcontinent, which is part of the Indian-Australian Plate, collided with Asia during the Tertiary and produced the Himalayas, the highest mountains in the world. The collision event resulted in extensive mountain building in areas distal and peripheral to the Himalayas, including the Pamir Mountains, where this quake occurred. In this case, shaking resulted from normal faulting, rather than reverse or thrust faulting.

This is the seismogram for the Little Thumb Creek seismic station in Yellowstone, Wyoming. The station is north-northwest of the West Thumb Geyser Basin. The prominent noise in the lower part of the graph was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.2 earthquake that hit offshore from Vancouver Island, Canada at 9:30 PM local time (= 10:30 PM Yellowstone time) on 3 July 2019. The shock waves first arrived at the seismic station at 10:34 PM, Yellowstone time, four minutes after the quake hit. The earthquake's locality is a subduction zone - one tectonic plate, composed of heavy oceanic lithosphere, is diving below another plate composed of lightweight continental lithosphere. In this case, the northernmost Juan de Fuca plate is diving (eastward & downward) below the North American Plate. The epicenter is at 51° 13' 19" North latitude, 130° 30' 54" West longitude, just beyond Queen Charlotte Sound, between Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte Islands, off Canada's southwestern coast.

This is a seismogram from the Davao seismic station in the Philippines. The noise is from a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that occurred in the northern Molucca Sea, ~south of the Philippines. The quake hit at 3:06 PM, local time, on 18 January 2023. The epicenter was about halfway between Morotai Island and Siau Island. The hypocenter was between 45 and 50 kilometers deep. Shaking resulted from strike-slip movement along a subvertical, northeast-southwest striking fault or a steeply-dipping, northwest-southeast striking fault. This is the third magnitude 7+ earthquake of 2023.

These are seismograms from the Maple Creek, Wyoming and San Rafael Swell, Utah seismic stations. Three very powerful earthquakes occurred over a six hour span in the southwestern Pacific Ocean during the morning of 5 March 2021. The first was a magnitude 7.3 quake offshore from New Zealand (= 6:30 lines on the diagram). The second was a magnitude 7.4 quake in the Kermadec Trench area, north of New Zealand (= 10:30 lines). The third also hit the Kermadec Trench area - it was a magnitude 8.1 event (= 12:30 lines). The distinctive sawtooth patterns are surface waves.
These were subduction zone earthquakes. The Pacific Plate is subducting ~westward beneath the Australian Plate.

This is a seismogram from the Lodwar seismic station in Kenya. The prominent blue noise on the 00:00 line (click on the image once or twice to zoom in) represents shock waves from a magnitude 4.7 earthquake that hit southwestern Uganda in eastern Africa. The quake occurred at 2:23 AM, local time, on 16 October 2021. The epicenter was in Lake Edward, ~5 to 5.5 kilometers west-southwest of the town of Kisenyi, Uganda.
This earthquake occurred in the Albertine Rift Valley, a major branch of the East African Rift Valley system. Eastern Africa is being ripped apart by the Afar Hotspot. Two rift systems radiating from the hotspot are so deep that they've been flooded by the oceans - the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The East African Rift Valley is a third rift system - it extends ~southward into Africa. In places, the rift valley is deep enough to host lakes. In the far future, it will also be flooded by seawater. Earthquakes occur throughout the rift system. Active and potentially active volcanoes are also present.
The red noise on the upper 17:30 line is from a magnitude 4.5 earthquake in the Afar Triangle (Afar Hotspot) itself, in northeastern Ethiopia.

This map (provided by the United States Geological Survey) shows the location of a magnitude 6.1 earthquake that hit northwestern Turkey at 4:08 AM, local time, on 23 November 2022. The epicenter was in western Düzce Province. Shaking resulted from right-lateral slip along the North Anatolian Fault. The quake occurred during an Earth-Moon-Sun alignment.

In August 1983, a torch was lit on Olympia hill in Greece to be sent to Nagasaki as a proof of peaceful solidarity. This is exceptional, as the Olympic flame is usually only lit on the 21st of April every four years before the summer Olympic games (and also about 100 days before the winter Olympic games). According to information on site "The small flame was sent from Olympian city [sic] in Greece to Nagasaki in 1983” and brought to Nagasaki by a famous actress, Aspasia Papatanasi (Papathanasiou maybe?) and a special envoy of the Greek Ministry of Culture and Science. The monument that hosts this “flame of commitment” was erected in 1987 near the Hypocenter in the Nagasaki Peace Park and cost approximately 14 million yen, with several donations received from all over Japan. The design, by 井川惺亮氏 (?) professor of Nagasaki University, features five oval vertical columns (like the star of the flag and seal of the city of Nagasaki) covered with hundreds of white magnetic tiles and whose edges are painted with 9 colors. The fire bowl, at the top of the monument, was built by citizens of Nagasaki. The Flame of Commitment is lit between 9: 00 and 17:00 on the 9th of every month and between August 6 – 9 every year.
This is a seismogram from the Gunungsitoli seismic station on Nias Island, Indonesia. The prominent noise was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.0 offshore earthquake that hit the Sumatra Trench area (also known as the Java Trench or Sunda Trench), west of Sumatra, Indonesia, in the eastern Indian Ocean. The quake occurred at 12:04 AM, local time, on 2 November 2021. The epicenter was about 115 kilometers southwest of the town of Strombu, Nias Island, Indonesia. The hypocenter was about 15 kilometers deep.

(Revelation 3:11-13 NIV). Once again we have a renewal of Jesus' wonderful promise, "I am coming quickly" soon am I
Tsunami wake up Judge wake up you are invited to my wedding Judge Matthew 3:11 is March 11th in Japan March 11, 3/11 tsunami 3-11 behold the verse of the third chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. The verse occurs in the section relating the preachings tsunami predicts that he will be followed by someone much greater than himself. The main theme of this verse is that John will soon be supplanted by a much greater figure and the John's water wave is just a preparation for the much greater baptism by fire and spirit that will occur under the second coming of the Christian messiah Jesus, an original Christian concept that, according to Jewish scholars, lacks any fundament in the Hebrew scripture.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
3:11
I indeed baptize you with water unto
repentance. but he that cometh after
me is mightier than I, whose shoes I
am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
The New International Version translates the passage as:
"I the Christian baptism ritual, but he does not believe that Jesus' baptism by fire and holy spirit can be so linked.
Whether the more powerful one coming after is a reference to God or Jesus is a matter of debate. After this verse Jesus immediately enters the narrative, and the corporeal metaphor of carrying his shoes would seem to describe a human figure. On the other hand this violent imagery contradicts the idea of the Messiah as a bringer of peace. Schnackenburg argues the wording in this passage is deliberately obscure between the two options.

The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku (東北地方太平洋沖地震 Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin?), often referred to in Japan as the Great East Japan Earthquake (東日本大震災 Higashi nihon daishinsai?)[8][9][10][fn 1] and also known as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake,[11] and the 3.11 Earthquake, was a magnitude 9.0 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday 11 March 2011,[2][3][12] with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 30 km (19 mi). it was the most powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan, and the fifth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900. Why 1900?
My first-ever visit to Japan, spanning over one week, comes to a close here, in Hiroshima, the first city in the world to be destroyed by an atomic bomb.
A look at the Atomic Bomb Dome. Originally built as the Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, and used for war planning at the time of the bombing, it is the only surviving structure from the immediate area of the atomic bomb hypocenter, in severely damaged form.
Enola Gay - Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, June 28, 2010
Her payload missed my father's family home in Hiroshima by four miles; the atomic bomb's hypocenter was four miles due east.
However, dad was incarcerated at the Minidoka, Idaho concentration camp along with 9,000 other Japanese-Americans when the bomb was dropped. Now, 65 years later, his grandkids are standing in her shadow.
This seismogram is from Palmer Station in Antarctica. The prominent noise was caused by a magnitude 6.0 offshore earthquake that occurred in the South Sandwich Trench area (= far-southern Atlantic Ocean). The quake hit at 11:24 PM, local time, on 24 January 2022. The epicenter was about 128 kilometers north-northwest of Zavodovski Island. Shaking resulted from oblique thrust faulting along an east-west striking fault zone.

This is a seismogram from the Magadan seismic station in Russia. The prominent noise was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.1 earthquake that hit Alaska's Aleutian Islands at 2:52 AM, local time, on 24 September 2021. The epicenter was about 7 kilometers southeast of (offshore from) Amatignak Island in the Middle Aleutians. The hypocenter was about 40 kilometers deep.
This was a subduction zone earthquake, occurring where oceanic lithosphere of the Pacific Plate dives underneath the North American Plate. The surface expression of the subduction zone is a deep seafloor trough called the Aleutian Trench.

Per sempre més la ciutat d'Hiroshima estarà lligada a la destrucció nuclear, des del fatidic 6 d'agost del 1945. És dificil d'explicar tot l'horror que aquest nom ara implica.
Aqui es pot veure el punt exacte sobre el cual, a uns 300 metres d'alçada, va explotar la bomba atòmica. Està just a la cantonada de la més famosa 'Cupula atomica'.

For ever more the name of Hiroshima would be linked with nuclear destruction and the madness of war. It's dificult to write down all that this name means.
This is the exact place where the atomic bomb exploded (well, at an altitude of 300 meters over here). Its located just in the next street to the most famous Atomic Bomb Dome.

This is a seismogram from the Lerwick seismic station in the Shetland Islands. The noise was caused by a magnitude 5.2 earthquake that hit offshore Norway in the Norwegian Sea / northern North Sea at 5:32 AM, local time, on 21 March 2022. The epicenter was about 204 kilometers northwest of Bergen, Norway. Shaking resulted from reverse faulting along a ~north-south striking fault zone.
This region is known for greater seismicity than other offshore-Norway areas. Quakes are concentrated in the Sogn Graben area. The Sogn Graben is one of several Cretaceous-aged, now buried-and-submerged rift valleys that formed in the late Mesozoic. The rift valleys developed as Greenland and Norway diverged, forming the far-northern Atlantic Ocean (= Greenland Sea & Norwegian Sea area). Overall, these events are part of the breakup of the ancient Pangaea supercontinent.

An earthquake is a natural shaking or vibrating of the Earth caused by sudden fault movement and a rapid release of energy. Earthquake activity is called "seismicity". The study of earthquakes is called "seismology". The actual underground location of an earthquake is the hypocenter, or focus. The site at the Earth's surface, directly above the hypocenter, is the epicenter. Minor earthquakes may occur before a major event - such small quakes are called foreshocks. Minor to major quakes after a major event are aftershocks.
Most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries, such as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, collision zones, and transform plate boundaries. They also occur at hotspots - large subsurface mantle plumes (Examples: Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, Afar).
Earthquakes generate four types of shock waves: P-waves, S-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and S-waves are body waves - they travel through solid rocks. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only at the surface - they are surface waves. P-waves are push-pull waves that travel quickly and cause little damage. S-waves are up-and-down waves (like flicking a rope) that travel slowly and cause significant damage. Love waves are side-to-side surface waves, like a slithering snake. Rayleigh waves are rotational surface waves, somewhat like ripples from tossing a pebble into a pond.
Earthquakes are associated with many specific hazards, such as ground shaking, ground rupturing, subsidence (sinking), uplift (rising), tsunamis, landslides, fires, and liquefaction.
Some famous major earthquakes in history include: Shensi, China in 1556; Lisbon, Portugal in 1755; New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812; San Francisco, California in 1906; Anchorage, Alaska in 1964; and Loma Prieta, California in 1989.
This seismogram is from the Ankara seismic station in Turkey. The noise is from a magnitude 6.1 earthquake that hit northwestern Turkey at 4:08 AM, local time, on 23 November 2022. The epicenter was in western Düzce Province. Shaking resulted from right-lateral slip along the North Anatolian Fault. The quake occurred during an Earth-Moon-Sun alignment.

This seismogram is from the South Karori seismic station in New Zealand. The prominent noise was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.1 earthquake that occurred in the Hjort Trench area (= south of New Zealand). The quake hit at 7:13 AM, local time, on 8 October 2021. The epicenter was about 454 kilometers due south of Macquarie Island.
The Hjort Trench is a deep seafloor trough formed by subduction - one tectonic plate dives beneath another. In this case, oceanic lithosphere of the Indian-Australian Plate is subducting below oceanic lithosphere of the Pacific Plate.

This is a seismogram from the Naypyitaw seismic station in Burma. The prominent noise was caused by a magnitude 5.4 earthquake that hit the Chin Hills in northwestern Burma. The quake occurred at 4:12 PM, local time, on 21 January 2022. The hypocenter was between 55 and 60 kilometers deep.
Burma is on the eastern periphery of a major tectonic collision zone, the Himalayas of northern India, Nepal, Bhutan, and parts of Tibet. The Himalayas formed by collision between the Indian Subcontinent and the Eurasian Plate during the Cenozoic. The Chin Hills are part of the Indo-Burman Ranges, which are mountains formed principally by oblique subduction zone tectonics and translational tectonics.

This seismogram is from the Marston seismic station in Missouri, USA. The noise was caused by a magnitude 3.1 earthquake in southeastern Missouri. The quake hit at 9:10 PM, local time, on 9 February 2023. The epicenter was about 17 kilometers west-southwest of the town of New Madrid, Missouri. The hypocenter was between 5 and 10 kilometers deep.
Southeastern Missouri is a famous seismically active area, despite being far away from a modern plate boundary. Three very powerful earthquakes (magnitudes in the 7s to 8s) hit the area in 1811 and 1812 along the New Madrid Fault Zone, an ancient, buried rift valley.

This is a seismogram from the Afiamalu seismic station at Samoa. The noise on the 17:00 and 18:00 lines was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.5 offshore earthquake that hit in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The quake occurred at 5:05 AM, local time, on 21 June 2021. The epicenter was about 60 kilometers almost due east of Macauley Island, north of New Zealand. The hypocenter was about 15 kilometers deep. The earthquake near the bottom of the graph is an aftershock - a magnitude 5.9 event.
These were subduction zone earthquakes. Subduction zones involve one tectonic plate composed of oceanic lithosphere diving underneath another tectonic plate. In this case, the Pacific Plate is subducting ~westward beneath the Australian Plate. The surface expression of the subduction zone is a deep seafloor trough called the Kermadec Trench.

This is a seismogram from the Calhoun seismic station in Georgia, USA. The noise was caused by a magnitude 2.6 earthquake in the Blue Ridge Mountains of far-northern Georgia. The quake hit at 11:47 PM, local time, on 20 January 2022. The epicenter was about 2.5 kilometers northeast of the town of Cisco, Georgia, near the Tennessee border. The hypocenter was between 10 and 15 kilometers deep. Despite the small magnitude, hundreds of people have reported feeling shaking.
Earthquakes in eastern America are uncommon and usually small to moderate in magnitude, while strong quakes are rare. This earthquake occurred in the Appalachian Mountains, which formed by tectonic collision between Africa and North America during the Pennsylvanian Period. The Appalachians consist of three physiographic provinces: the Valley and Ridge, the Blue Ridge, and the Piedmont. This earthquake occurred in the Blue Ridge, which is mostly composed of Precambrian basement rocks (igneous & metamorphics). The mountains of the Blue Ridge are generally rounded and not very tall. This is unlike the tall, mostly sharp-peaked mountains of western America's Cordillera, the Andes of South America, the Alps of Europe, and the Himalayas of Asia. Compared with those geologically young mountain chains, the Blue Ridge is relatively old - the Appalachians have been subjected to long term erosion for about one-third of a billion years.

These are seismograms for the Maple Creek, Parker Peak, and Little Thumb Creek seismic stations in Yellowstone, Wyoming. The prominent noise on the 14:30 lines (click on the image once or twice to zoom in) was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.7 earthquake that hit Lake Khövsgöl in northern Mongolia at 5:33 AM, local time, on 12 January 2021. The hypocenter was at 11 to 12 kilometers depth. The zig-zag pattern on the 15:00 and 15:30 lines represents the arrival of surface waves. Eleven significant aftershocks with magnitudes in the 4s and 5s occurred in the following 12.5 hours.
Lake Khövsgöl is a water-filled graben in the Baikal Rift System, which includes Lake Baikal in Siberia. The system formed by tectonic extension at the edge of the Siberian Platform during the Tertiary. Similar rift systems and water-filled basins occur in the modern-day East African Rift Valley, along which the African Plate is being ripped apart by Afar Hotspot activity. The Baikal Rift System appears to be a distal tectonic consequence of the Himalayan Orogeny, which involved the collision of India with Asia during the Cenozoic to form the Himalayan Mountains.

These seismograms are from the Juneau Island and Bessie Mountain seismic stations in Alaska. The prominent noise is from a magnitude 4.6 earthquake that hit offshore southeastern Alaska. The quake occurred at 5:51 AM, local time, on 14 January 2022. The epicenter was about 36 kilometers ~northwest of Kruzof Island. The hypocenter was about 16 kilometers deep. Shaking resulted from right-lateral slip along the NNW-SSE striking Queen Charlotte Fault Zone at the North American Plate-Pacific Plate boundary. The Queen Charlotte Fault is a transform fault, along which two plates slide past each other.

This seismogram is from the Guam seismic station in the Mariana Islands (= western Pacific Ocean). The prominent noise is from a magnitude 5.7 offshore earthquake that occurred in the southern Mariana Trench area between Japan and New Guinea. The quake hit at 6:29 AM, local time, on 14 February 2022. The epicenter was about 170 kilometers south-southwest of the island of Guam. Shaking resulted from normal faulting next to the Mariana Trench, which is a deep seafloor trough formed by the Pacific Plate subducting westward beneath the Philippines Plate. The fault zone strikes east-northeast to west-southwest.
Three aftershocks are also represented by the noise: a magnitude 5.3 quake at 6:49 AM, a magnitude 4.8 quake at 7:37 AM, and a magnitude 4.7 quake at 8:09 AM.

The site at the Earth's surface, directly above the hypocenter, is the epicenter. Minor earthquakes may occur before a major event - such small quakes are called foreshocks. Minor to major quakes after a major event are aftershocks.
Most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries, such as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, collision zones, and transform plate boundaries. They also occur at hotspots - large subsurface mantle plumes (Examples: Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, Afar).
Earthquakes generate four types of shock waves: P-waves, S-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and S-waves are body waves - they travel through solid rocks. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only at the surface - they are surface waves. P-waves are push-pull waves that travel quickly and cause little damage. S-waves are up-and-down waves (like flicking a rope) that travel slowly and cause significant damage. Love waves are side-to-side surface waves, like a slithering snake. Rayleigh waves are rotational surface waves, somewhat like ripples from tossing a pebble into a pond.
Earthquakes are associated with many specific hazards, such as ground shaking, ground rupturing, subsidence (sinking), uplift (rising), tsunamis, landslides, fires, and liquefaction.
Some famous major earthquakes in history include: Shensi, China in 1556; Lisbon, Portugal in 1755; New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812; San Francisco, California in 1906; Anchorage, Alaska in 1964; and Loma Prieta, California in 1989.

The prominent noise on the 10:00 and 11:00 lines on this seismogram from the South Karori station in New Zealand represents shock waves from a strong magnitude 6.9 earthquake. It occurred near the western margin of the New Hebrides Plate, in the North New Hebrides Trench area, offshore from the islands of Vanuatu (= western Pacific Ocean). The quake hit at 9:10 PM, local time, on 18 August 2021. The epicenter was about 10 kilometers north of Sakao Island, offshore from Espiritu Santo Island in Vanuatu. The hypocenter was about 90 kilometers deep.

This seismogram is from the Ankara seismic station in Turkey. The prominent noise represents shock waves from two powerful earthquakes that hit southern Iran's Zagros Mountains. The first quake was magnitude 6.0 and occurred at 4:07 PM, local time, on 14 November 2021. The second quake was magnitude 6.3 and occurred at 4:08 PM, 95 seconds later. The quakes triggered many dusty landslides on steep slopes.
These were collision zone earthquakes. The Arabian Plate is converging with the Eurasian Plate, resulting in folding, faulting, and mountain-building in southern Iran. The Zagros Orogeny commenced with subduction and obduction. Since the late Tertiary, tectonic collision has occurred. Deformation in the area has economic significance - many petroleum fields are developed in anticlinal structures of the Zagros Mountains.

These seismograms are from the Clendening Lake seismic station in Ohio, USA. They show three small earthquakes that occurred near the town of Sherrodsville in Carroll County, eastern Ohio. The blip on the top seismogram (circled) was caused by a magnitude 2.5 or 2.6 earthquake that hit at 2:05 PM, local time, on 19 November 2021. The blip on the middle seismogram was caused by a magnitude 1.9 earthquake that hit at 9:18 PM on 19 November 2021. The blip on the bottom seismogram was caused by a magnitude 1.8 earthquake that hit at 9:20 PM on 20 November 2021. Hypocenter depths were about 5, 10, and 9 kilometers, respectively.
Ohio earthquakes are rare and usually small in magnitude. Two areas in Ohio have more frequent quakes than elsewhere: 1) western Ohio and 2) northeastern Ohio.
The quakes seen here are part of a series of 5 small events that occurred on 19 and 20 November 2021 near Sherrodsville, Ohio. Magnitudes ranged from 1.4 to 2.5/2.6. Hypocenter depths ranged from about 5 to 10 kilometers. This is not an area of known historical seismicity in Ohio - I wonder if these are "induced" earthquakes from one or more injection wells?

The noise on the 02:00 line of this seismogram from the Borgarfjordur seismic station in Iceland represents a magnitude 5.2 earthquake and small aftershocks that hit Iceland starting at 2:01 AM, local time, on 7 March 2021. The epicenter was located in Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula (= Southern Peninsula), southwest of the town of Reykjavik. This is ongoing activity that started in late February 2021 - numerous small and moderate-sized earthquakes have occurred in the Reykjanes Peninsula area. Temporal and geographic clusters of earthquakes are called "swarms". Over 20,000 events have been recorded since late February.
Iceland is a volcanic island in the North Atlantic Ocean between Britain and Greenland. It is situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, along which the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate separate and new oceanic crust forms. Seismicity in the area is due to subsurface magma movement from hotspot (mantle plume) activity, as well as seafloor spreading (= tectonic divergence).
Available information indicates that an igneous dike is being intruded in southwestern Iceland, and magma is within 1-2 kilometers of the surface.
Update: a lava flow eruption commenced on 19 March 2021 in Geldingadalur Valley, next to the Fagradalsfjall Volcano in the Reykjanes Peninsula.

This seismogram is from the Horse Pasture seismic station on St. Helena Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The noise is from a magnitude 5.6 offshore earthquake that hit the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 3:03 PM, local time, on 19 October 2022. The epicenter was about 53 kilometers east-northeast of Ascension Island.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a classic example of a mid-ocean ridge, where two tectonic plates diverge (separate) and new oceanic crust forms - this is called "seafloor spreading". In this case, the South American Plate and the African Plate are moving away from each other. This quake occurred ~along a spreading center south of the Ascension Transform Fault / Ascension Fracture Zone.

The noise on the 14:00 line of this seismogram from the Borgarfjordur seismic station in Iceland represents a magnitude 5.4 earthquake that hit Iceland at 2:15 PM, local time, on 14 March 2021. The epicenter was located in Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula (= Southern Peninsula), southwest of the town of Reykjavik. The hypocenter was shallow - 3.1 kilometers deep. This is ongoing activity that started in late February 2021 - numerous small and moderate-sized earthquakes have occurred in the Reykjanes Peninsula area due to intrusion of an igneous dike. Temporal and geographic clusters of earthquakes are called "swarms". Over 35,000 events have been recorded since late February - this may be precursor activity to a volcanic eruption, most likely a basaltic effusive eruption.

This is a seismogram from the Ankara seismic station in Turkey. The prominent noise was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.0 earthquake that hit the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea at 9:17 AM, local time, on 27 September 2021. The epicenter was about 14 kilometers southeast of the town of Heraklion, Crete. The hypocenter was between 8 and 9 kilometers deep. The quake resulted from movement along a northeast-southwest striking normal fault.

This is a seismogram from the Tegucigalpa seismic station in Honduras, Central America. The prominent noise was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.7 earthquake that hit offshore from the southern coastline of Panama, in the far-eastern Pacific Ocean. The quake occurred at 3:15 PM, local time, on 21 July 2021. The epicenter was about 110 kilometers due west of Coiba Island.
Four days earlier, a magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred nearby (see: www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/51320658999 ).
The 6.7 quake was due to right-lateral slip along a ~north-south striking, subvertically-oriented transform fault in the Panama Transform Fault system (often mis-referred to as the Panama Fracture Zone). The Panama Transform Fault is the eastern boundary of the Cocos Plate and the western boundary of the Coiba Microplate. Transform faults occur where two tectonic plates slide past each other - the most famous example is California's San Andreas Fault.
This earthquake hit a few days before a Moon-Earth-Sun alignment.

( It claimed eleven lives[6][7][8][9] and is considered the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry, an estimated 8% to 31% larger in volume than the previously largest, the Ixtoc I oil spill. Following the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, a sea-floor oil gusher flowed for 87 days, until it was capped on 15 July 2010.[8][10] The US Government estimated the total discharge at 4.9 million barrels (210 million US gal; 780,000 m3).[3] After several failed efforts to contain the flow, the well was declared sealed on 19 September 2010.[11] Some reports indicate the well site continues to leak.[12][13](per wikipedia..
notice the 1831 salcedo guyaso.. take away the contained 1 and you have... 831.. there's much more if you just check it out :)

what was the government estimate of how many barrels of oil, again?
1.76 million, but for some reason that was lost and changed to 4.9.

(The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku (東北地方太平洋沖地震 Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin?), often referred to in Japan as the Great East Japan Earthquake (東日本大震災 Higashi nihon daishinsai?)[8][9][10][fn 1] and also known as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake,[11] and the 3.11 Earthquake, was a magnitude 9.0 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday 11 March 2011,[2][3][12] with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 30 km (19 mi).[2][13] It was the most powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan, and the fifth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.[12][14][15] The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 metres (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku's Iwate Prefecture,[16][17] and which, in the Sendai area, travelled up to 10 km (6 mi) inland.[18] The earthquake moved Honshu (the main island of Japan) 2.4 m (8 ft) east and shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in),[19][20][21] and generated sound waves detected by the low orbiting GOCE satellite.[22]
On 12 September 2012, a Japanese National Police Agency report confirmed 15,883 deaths,[23] 6,150 injured,[24] and 2,643 people missing[25] across twenty prefectures, as well as 129,225 buildings totally collapsed, with a further 254,204 buildings 'half collapsed', and another 691,766 buildings partially damaged.[26] The earthquake and tsunami also caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse.[18][27] Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said, "In the 65 years after the end of World War II, this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan."[28] Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water.[29]
The main earthquake was preceded by a number of large foreshocks, with hundreds of aftershocks reported. The first major foreshock was a 7.2 MW event on 9 March, approximately 40 km (25 mi) from the epicenter of the 11 March earthquake, with another three on the same day in excess of 6.0 MW.[2][40] Following the main earthquake on 11 March, a 7.0 MW aftershock was reported at 15:06 JST (6:06 UTC), succeeded by a 7.4 MW at 15:15 JST (6:16 UTC) and a 7.2 MW at 15:26 JST (6:26 UTC).[41] Over eight hundred aftershocks of magnitude 4.5 MW or greater have occurred since the initial quake,[42] including one on 26 October 2013 (local time) of magnitude 7.3.[43] Aftershocks follow Omori's Law, which states that the rate of aftershocks declines with the reciprocal of the time since the main quake. The aftershocks will thus taper off in time, but could continue for years.[44](per wikipedia :)

what else?
Still creating that "natural order" and ordinance of time of yours on a daily monthly weekly yearly basis and killing people in time, CIA and NSA Whore and MURDERER Jami Rose? :)
here's the rest :)
by entering in her information from date of birth here:
www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html
you can monitor her information that is used by the world markets on a daily basis, not only that, but control for what is in numerical belief, thru out the us and the rest of the world.
She creates a natural order in time with her existance and by her date of birth, on a daily basis, weekly basis, yearly basis and in forward motion time placement. :)
Its also an Ordinance in time,
(but she's KILLING people in time. THOUSANDS of people,
and *thats* accepted. :) not anymore, huh, CIA and NSA Whore and MURDERER Jami Rose. :) not anymore :)

if you need a little help to her "stasis of orgin" here you go. if you're not smart enough to know what a birthday does in time, its an active measure for which you create throught your life span. there, i said it. don't like that intelligent secret? millions people living, and not knowing that. how could anyone not know? :)
and all those people she killed. never punished
thomas warn varnas will make sure that happens, won't he?
you attempted two murders on his life at 143 Rue Esplanade and Villa Du Lac,
by channeling his dreams with tenants and parking cars outside of his residence, capturing him..
how does it feel now Jami, to know the same is happening
to you :)
:)
there you go :)
btw, did i channel her ill will and associations unknowingly, and did it kill alisa ferraro and paul gagnon in time, to?
to me, that warrants enough to blow her head off.
sorry. but thats the way i feel, at the moment
~peace
thomas :) (not smiling) (but its about to get better :)

i did. :)
(oh yea, am i supposed to be mentioning anything on NSA itself on NSA CIA WHORE AND MURDERER JAMI ROSE'S *NEXT* BIRTH YEAR, THAT IS HAPPENING YEAR TO DAY.. 34.. initial 38/74 NSA 16/34.. alot of things are "happening" with that currently in time now, no? :) good info. pats self on back, check her out and what's going on in the markets.. :)

thomas :)
(*that's good* oh i know it is mrs alisa who is with mr paul in heaven, *i know it is* ty friend :)!
the only thing that i'm surprised about kids, is that i *truly* thought she had a conscious,
and that she would disclose who she really is.. who supported her to KILL :)
and not just that, to attempt to kill me to.
but you're too much of a coward, to face justice,
huh nsa cia whore and murderer jami rose?
what? afraid that you might end up in prison?
:) that would be a safer place for you now> :)
well, your move.
still chicken? seemingly so, and albeit without a conscious.
how long, will that last ?

This seismogram is from the Scott Base seismic station in Antarctica. The prominent noise was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.8 earthquake that occurred in the South Sandwich Trench area (= far-southern Atlantic Ocean; it's actually just in the Antarctic Ocean). The quake hit at 10:45 PM, local time, on 21 August 2021. The epicenter was about 176 kilometers southeast of Bristol Island. The hypocenter was about 11 kilometers deep. This event was a large aftershock of a magnitude 8.1 quake in the same area on 12 August 2021 (see: www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/51374098706).
The South Sandwich Trench is a deep seafloor trough formed by subduction - oceanic lithosphere of the South American Plate is diving westward beneath oceanic lithosphere of the Sandwich Plate. Earthquake activity and volcanic islands occur next to the trench.
This quake occurred during a Moon-Earth-Sun alignment.

An earthquake is a natural shaking or vibrating of the Earth caused by sudden fault movement and a rapid release of energy. Earthquake activity is called "seismicity". The study of earthquakes is called "seismology". The actual underground location of an earthquake is the hypocenter, or focus. The site at the Earth's surface, directly above the hypocenter, is the epicenter. Minor earthquakes may occur before a major event - such small quakes are called foreshocks. Minor to major quakes after a major event are aftershocks.
Most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries, such as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, collision zones, and transform plate boundaries. They also occur at hotspots - large subsurface mantle plumes (Examples: Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, Afar).
Earthquakes generate four types of shock waves: P-waves, S-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and S-waves are body waves - they travel through solid rocks. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only at the surface - they are surface waves. P-waves are push-pull waves that travel quickly and cause little damage. S-waves are up-and-down waves (like flicking a rope) that travel slowly and cause significant damage. Love waves are side-to-side surface waves, like a slithering snake. Rayleigh waves are rotational surface waves, somewhat like ripples from tossing a pebble into a pond.
Earthquakes are associated with many specific hazards, such as ground shaking, ground rupturing, subsidence (sinking), uplift (rising), tsunamis, landslides, fires, and liquefaction.
Some famous major earthquakes in history include: Shensi, China in 1556; Lisbon, Portugal in 1755; New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812; San Francisco, California in 1906; Anchorage, Alaska in 1964; and Loma Prieta, California in 1989.
This is a seismogram for the Campanas Astronomical Observatory in Chile. The prominent noise was caused by shock waves from two magnitude 6.0 earthquakes that hit offshore from Chile on the western coast of South America at 8:01 and 8:29 PM, local time, on 3 July 2021. Such occurrences are called "earthquake doublets".
These were subduction zone earthquakes. Subduction zones have a tectonic plate composed of oceanic lithosphere diving underneath a plate of continental or oceanic lithosphere. In this area, the oceanic Nazca Plate is subducting eastward beneath continental lithosphere of the South American Plate. Subduction zones have the most powerful tectonic quakes in the world. Quakes and volcanism are common geologic hazards in such settings. The subduction zone itself is a deep seafloor trough adjacent to the western margin of South America - the Peru-Chile Trench. Mountain building occurs next to the trench - the Andes Mountains. Active and potentially active volcanoes occur throughout the Andes.

At 11:02am on August 9, 1945, the atomic bomb exploded 500 meters above this spot. The black stone monolith marks the hypocenter.
This is a seismogram from the Johnston Island station in the Pacific Ocean. The prominent noise represents shock waves from a magnitude 6.4 offshore earthquake that hit the San Cristobal Trench area in the Solomon Islands, northeast of Australia. The quake occurred at 1:44 PM, local time, on 15 October 2021. The epicenter was between Vangunu Island and the Russell Islands. The hypocenter was between 20 and 25 kilometers deep.
