This one originated in the middle of the Gulf, where there are no plate edges. They still don't know exactly why. Earth Burp? _________________ Gr33ny's Grrl Punk N00bfest: Disney APPROVED!!

Apparently last summer there was an earthquake that people up here in Toronto Canada felt... I was completely dumbfounded. We're at the middle of the North American plate. O_O I too would like to feel one though, ^_^ |

Doesn't matter if your near a plate only, it's when you're near a fault (Ramapo (NY/NJ/PA), San Andreas (Ca) that you have to worry about. The Palisades (along the Hudson River) is a fault, but not an active one. The Ramapo is sometimes active, and of course the San Andreas. An earthquake can happen anytime, anywhere. Check out the USGS site, and you'll see hundreda of tremors everyday all over the planet.

I looked up some stuff, and there are very few faults in Florida, due to the makeup of the rock. In South Florida it's basalt, which is igneous, in the middle and overlaying it's limestone, which is sedimentary, and it's granite in the upper portion of the state. It's hard to find them with the limestone laying over top of everything.
I did find a link about the faults in the Gulf, however: http://cigmat.cive.uh.edu/content/conf_ ... nt/13.html There are actually hundreds of them, but they are not tectonic (plate) faults, but they can shift suddenly. Interesting. _________________ Gr33ny's Grrl Punk N00bfest: Disney APPROVED!!

Pinkey, the thingy in ur avatar/signature is seriously hypnotizing. I spent like 30 minutes studying for test and then spent like 2 minutes staring at it spin and now i cant remember shitzzle of what i studied. !!
Earthquakes are pretty much fun as long as they stay under 2. If they get higher, then its dangerous. Last edited by buggy on Mon Sep 11, 2006 2:23 pm, edited 1 time in total. |
