6.0 quake hits Guatemala

cougarfreak · 01-18-2010, 10:06 AM

Ok, I'm officially a little freaked. 3 quakes, over the last week, hitting the same tectonic plate. I wonder how often that happens. A few volcano eruptions in the Caribbean next?

Mother Nature is pissed off....

Since it was much less intense, hopefully it won't be nearly as devastating.

hopefully. but it's also guatemala. they're not exactly earthquake-proof either.

A 6.0 is 10 times less powerful than a 7.0. This is not all that surprising really, that plate must have had a lot of stress in the faults and each quake is shifting stress further down the line.

DaddyTorgo · 01-18-2010, 11:05 AM

yes yes...i know my richter scale. just saying...6.0 can still cause plenty of damage, especially if it hits in the right (well wrong, but you know what i mean) spot.

In all seriousness they have had 49 quakes of 4.5 or higher since the 7.0 in Haiti. I really feel for them, that many that strong will make you really think the ground is always moving.

This shit wasn't supposed to happen until 2012.

Roland Emmerich is working on a prequel as we speak. Don't know if Arthur C. Clarke's estate will be filing for copyright protection on the title, though.

Not quite. Closer to about a 32x difference in magnitude. The Richter scale is logarithmic in nature.
