If there is any substance to this theory I have heard there should be an increase in the average quake activity. Similar to what we saw about a month ago when massive quake activity occurred for about two weeks.
Now I know some will say its normal and that experts say this is to be expected and that its statistical and its what always happens with quakes...but...if what I believe will happen happens, then the theory will have some substance and might be worth looking further in to.
If I am wrong then good and thats why I am putting it out there |

California and all up the West Coast of the US have seen a noticeable increase in size and frequency (Strangely Canada remains fairly stable though its on the same plate) through to the Aleutian Islands, Turkey and surrounds though always active again have become more noticeable as well as Japans larger quake activity.
The scientific concensus is that there has not been a recent increase in volcanic activity, but that is completely opposite to what we are seeing in the real world GVP Eruption Reports | Volcano World
Above is a 1 week report on volcanic activity
though scientists are saying everything is all fine.
Seem to say that about Fukashima as well, or they just say nothing at all.
Lets see what happens. Proven right or wrong one way or the other... |

Chilie also sits on the edge of a techtonic plate
As does los angeles there are multiple tectonic plates running through indonesia
If you were to overlay a map of the techtonic plates over that earthquake map, the earthquakes would most likely correlate with the location of the techtonic plates
Are you trying to say that an increase in Earthquakes is predicting the end of the world

I am aware plate activity causes quakes, I am suggesting there could a link between natural forces and plate activity.
Am I saying there is a link between quakes and the end of the world. No, I am suggesting there could be a link between natural forces and quake activity....
...The world is ending because of the coming Iran war, because of the coming NWO and the impending financial collapse. The evil governments that enslave people and want to become the modern day gods. The so called coming alien invasion fukashima etc
Jesus predicts the end of the world the earthquakes are just a by-line in the story. |

There is no relevance, that was my point.
I was suggesting I had heard a theory about natural forces and quake activity.
If quakes increase over the next couple of weeks then the theory may prove true. If not 
Thats it |

What I meant was if anyone remembers where the latest series of major earthquakes started, does there tend to be a pattern? e.g. major earthquake in Sth America -> NZ or Japan soon or does it tend to go vice versa?
Or do major earthquakes that happen close together seem to happen by chance? |

Fracking may be a man made issue that has probably caused more quakes but they havnt been big or related to big quakes yet, though science suggest there is no link in fracking and quakes. BBC News - What is fracking and why is it controversial?
If scientists admitted fracking caused quake activity, then with all the fracking going on around the world, naturally quakes would be on the increase and thats just simply stupid, stuff of conspiracy theorists.
1+1 equals whatever a scientists is paid to say. |

A town called Meckering was hit the worst, but it also affected Perth city. I remember it very well, and what I was doing at the time. Along the Pacific seems to be more prone. I've heard it said that San Fransicso is going to get a very, very bad one one day...they're due for it apparently....I can't imagine what it will be like, but I'm glad I don't live there.
