EARTHQUAKE SUMMARY FOR AUGUST 18, 2010

[joe kurtz]

mariana islands had a 5.7 aftershock. this area has been heavily pound by 5.0 and above aftershocks. it sits on the mariana trench which is the deepest part of the ocean. the west coast of columbia had a 4.5 close to a possible volcano eruption. banda sea had a 4.7 with a depth of 321km, the upper crust is splitting again. guatemala had a 4.6, may some day brake away from south america (my speculation), a 5.2 in the tonga region, it is what i call within the indonesian scorpion claw. a 4.4, and 4.0 kodiak island, this is important because one of these quakes could cause a tsunami for washington state, which is 19 yrs overdue. south of java 5.1 quake, there was one not to long ago on the otherside of the faul line as if stretching the earth in that area. 5.1 in the solomon islands, this area has been hit very hard lately. what do you thinkif i gave the summary like a dj? what do you think group?
