Mars geologically active, planet experiencing 7.0 magnitude quakes say scientists

by The Extinction Protocol
February 21, 2012SPACE - With High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) imagery, the research team  examined boulders along a fault system known as Cerberus Fossae, which cuts across a very young (few million years old) lava surface on Mars. By analyzing boulders that toppled from a Martian cliff, some of which left trails in the coarse-grained soils, and comparing the patterns of dislodged rocks to such patterns caused by quakes on Earth, the scientists determined the rocks fell because of seismic activity. Gerald Roberts, an earthquake geologist with Birkbeck, an institution of the University of London, who led the study, said that the images of Mars included boulders that ranged from two to 20 meters (6.5 to 65 feet) in diameter, which had fallen in avalanches from cliffs. The size and number of boulders decreased over a radius of 100 kilometers (62 miles) centered at a point along the Cerberus Fossae faults. This is consistent with the hypothesis that boulders had been mobilized by ground-shaking, and that the severity of the ground-shaking decreased away from the epicenters of mars-quakes,” Roberts said. The team compared the pattern of boulder falls, and faulting of the Martian surface, with those seen after a 2009 earthquake near L’Aquila, in central Italy. In that event, boulder falls occurred up to approximately 50 km (31 miles) from the epicenter. Because the area of displaced boulders in the marsscape stretched across an area approximately 200 km124-miles) long, the quakes were likely to have had a magnitude greater than 7, the researchers estimated. By looking at the tracks that the falling boulders had left on the dust-covered Martian surface, the team determined that the mars-quakes were relatively recent – and certainly within the last few percent of the planet’s history – because Martian winds had not yet erased the boulder tracks. Trails on Mars can quickly disappear – for instance, tracks left by NASA robotic rovers are erased within a few years by Martian winds, whereas other, sheltered tracks stick around longer. It is possible, the scientists concluded, that large-magnitude quake activity is still occurring on Mars. –Physics

  • would love to see the references, Keith,

  • Yes, that was part of the problem with the latest disturbance.  Those advocating mil/war wouldn't take into consideration there could be ET intervention.  They pooh-pooh'd the idea. 

    I am not worried about nuclear war. 

  • Okay, here's the link to the sun comment.  It's in the Mythi #74 video.  It's on p.197 of the transcript at https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true...

    "The sun will present major instabilities from next month as a result of the approximation of its small binary." 

  • I tend to agree, there will be no  nuclear war. the one factor few take seriously is the ET intervention. at some level there is contact with ET's. and it has to be assumed they above all else will know what is happening in our cosmic neighborhood. therefore, notwithstanding the supposed secret space programme let alone stargates to Mars, refering o Andrew Bassiago, someone knows what is going on with more or less certainty. so starting from this and working downwards, we have the following. from this peer group, lets call the them the  tier one group, they will have control over all the information, over all th scientist and hence over all the channels of communication and information  where this knowledge is filtered out. they will be working with and within the CIA, NSA, FEMA, DHS, and the Pentagon. next, the heads of government in at least the major countries will know  precisely or at least have a general idea that something is going on f a planetary nature. now, however each country regards the rest whatever jealousies and suspicions they have, on the level of the coming event there will be intense co operation, we can see this by observing the Russians, the Chinese building cities and bunkers. and the Americans. If the se vaults are international why then would countries go to war with each other? and the fact it has all been ongoing for at least thirty years, which means this is the secret agenda and all else that happens in the world is a sham. a distraction an illusion. it is we they fear, if we knew what they know their regime would end in weeks.

  • Another thing I remember, but have never been able to locate again, was a list of things gov'ts do to distract.  War was #3 on the list and UFO/ETs was #4 (the top of the list).

    So, I think war is a distraction.  A number of ET channelings are saying there will not be a nuclear war.  Let us hope they are right.

  • I would  be very interested to read it, i have been talking to Byron here,  about the huge security operation at the London Olympics and wonder if this and what is happening in your own country is related to this planet X scenario? assuming they know something big and nasty is out there, the first thing they will go for is  a security lockdown.  also I wonder if this conflict with Iran s a big charade, I believe it is, again, to pull the wool over our eyes whilst something else is going on.

  • I recollect reading recently (may have been a channeled message) that some heavy solar activity will occur in March.  I'll see if I can find where I read that.

    If a BDS is out there and inbound, earthchanges will continue to escalate.  There are other factors such as the galactic cloud, both of which can affect the sun, which too can affect earth.

  • I agree, something to defintely watch. It would seem to be fit in in with the sort of timetable John Dinardo has in mind and Boris Artemenko has been talking about. Exactly as predicted.  there are two factors here,no three. one, are the Mars quakes increasing in size and frequency, and is ars showing any perturbations in its orbit,

    two, are we here, on Earth, having more frequent earthquakes,and

    three are there any signs if increasing activity by such as FEMA DHS, and the military, which would indicate, they too  are aware and their plans are taking a greater urgency?

    one last point, we should watch the sun. If this planet X is real there should at some stage be a massive discharge between it and the sun and we may be in the center of it...... ouch

  • Something to watch.  If there is an indication the quakes are growing in number and size, then we can expect we'll get the same (depending on how close passage is to Mars and how to close Earth).
