===================================

Screenshots below shows the volcanic chain just 10 miles from the earthquake epicenter:

Today, December 13, 2011 — we saw a 3.3 magnitude earthquake occur in northwest Arizona..

Being a rather odd location which does not see too many earthquakes, I decided to look up the epicenter to see what may be at the heart — or the possible cause…

YET ONCE AGAIN we see earthquakes occurring very close to a LONG DORMANT volcanic chain — (this is in addition to the other deep shaft sites like fracking wells and nuclear facilities).

My hypothesis is a simple one.. we are seeing a global rise in eruptions, and associated earthquakes.  These quakes are occurring near sites which have deep earth shafts which have been dug into the upper crust of the earth(fracking and nuclear), or at dormant volcanic areas with NATURAL deep tubes/shafts which penetrate into the earths crust.

Simply put, for example — the north American craton (plate) is being pushed — as the crust is displaced, the spots where the weakness exists would TEND to be the spots where shafts run deep (weakest link in the chain theory). Of course these deep drill/tube/shaft sites will be the first to show the deep crust movement (magma or gasses).

Saturday’s earthquake manmade?

One thing we often do as human beings is assume that all things are created equal, when in reality we know they are not.

I did that this weekend with a small earthquake that occurred north of  Richlands near Tazewell county in southwest Virginia.

The quake occurred around 6:15AM Saturday. It wasn’t a big earthquake, but certainly enough to get your attention if you live in the area. According to USGS, the quake was felt 100 miles or more from the epicenter.

@HPax on Twitter, saw my tweet and pointed out a video discussion made today that shows the proximity of natural gas fracking just miles from the epicenter of the earthquake.

Some researchers believe the increasingly common use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking — the controversial practice of blasting underground rock formations with high-pressure water, sand, and chemicals to extract natural gas — may put stress on fault lines. It’s essentially, breaking apart the rock beneath the earth’s surface.

The real question is, can human activity really cause the earth to move?

It has happened before. One “textbook case” occurred in 1967 in India, says Peter Fairley at IEEE Spectrum, when the reservoir behind the hydroelectric Koyna Dam was filled up. The added water “unleashed a magnitude 6.3 quake” by placing stress “on a previously unknown fault, killing 180 people and leaving thousands homeless.”

Studies are being done in Arkansas and Oklahoma on the possible connection between fracking and earthquakes. Certainly something to consider. I’m a meteorologist NOT a geologist, but the same methodology applies to both fields. Every scenerio isn’t going to be the same. There’s always opportunities, such as this, to look and learn about the variables that might make this one a little different from your average event.
