earthquakes

[brian blakey]

has anyone on here any thoughts about the eartquakes, in that under ground testing has taken place for nuclear bombs, then an earthquake takes place later ie in india and pakistan ?

I look at it everyday, there are some interesting patterns, particularly the interplatal ones, they will be the real biggies when they go

Er... are you saying that the earthquake acts as a giveaway of underground nuclear testing? I suspect it's pretty hard to trigger an earthquake with a nuke unless it's a pretty big one and deliberately put in just the right place. However, an underground nuke does generate some eminently detectable - and fairly characteristic - seismic waves in its own right. It's pretty hard to set one off without someone picking up the seismic signature, unless you set off a tiddly one in the middle of a really huge cave, in which case it'd have zero chance of triggering an earthquake anyway.

It was only a matter of time until some one found out New Zealand’s dirty little nuclear testing program secrets they had covered for a long time with excuses like “It’s because we have fault lines” .

Would you really do underground nuke testing in/near a fault-line though? Sounds a bit risky.

not if its near someone else fault line

Sounds a bit like Lex Luther, unless I'm very much mistaken!
