Is it possible that the earthquake of October 2006 in Kashmir could be man made?

Extremely unlikely. I've never heard of any man made earthquakes.

You won't be warned.  The earth will just start moving.  The danger isn't the earthquake.  The dangers are the things that fall on you, the fires that burn after (assuming gas lines or electricity or some source of fire and fuel).

The first link provides current and historical information regarding the fault.  The second link is to the history channel's web site which contains a brief overview of the Mega Disaster's episode on a possible future fault movement.\n\nhttp://quake.ualr.edu/public/nmfz.htm\nhttp://www.history.com/minisite.do?content_type=Minisite_Episodes&content_type_id=1435&display_order=3&mini_id=1401

Though it cannot be evidenced that this was something to do with Ramayana or not however considering the quality and details included in Ramayana it is very likely that author of Ramayana had seen some sort of connection between two which looks like bridge and that's why he would have included this in his books.\n\nSome Hindu groups claim that the bridge is evidence that events narrated in the Ramayana epic actually took place and cite NASA's imagery of it as proof of their claims. NASA has distanced itself from such claims:\n\n"The images [...] may be ours, but their interpretation is certainly not ours. [...] Remote sensing images or photographs from orbit cannot provide direct information about the origin or age of a chain of islands, and certainly cannot determine whether humans were involved in producing any of the patterns seen."\n\n\nArcheological studies of the bridge are ongoing, and some archeologists claim to have found evidence suggesting that the bridge is man-made. For instance, some researchers from Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, announced that the "bridge" is only 3,500 years old.\n\nSea levels rose about 10 or 20 metres in the 6th millennium BCE to reach levels similar to today, so in 6000 BCE the bridge would have been an isthmus situated above sea level. As such, it almost certainly would have been a viable route for humans to have reached Sri Lanka by dry land.

In a nutshell, their is no way to predict earthquakes because there are little to no warnings signs. For example in California, This is a transform fault where two plates are sliding past each other... Eventually the stress builds up so much that it moves a lot at one time.. This is what causes Earth Quakes there, and when they happen they are devastating... We just cant tell when the stress is so much that an earthquake is going to happen.. It is not possible and probably will never be.

Never heard of it, but I live in Portugal (20 Km away from Lisbon) and I know they had an heartquake on the 18th century. Therefore, such prophecy is probably fake.

yea.. it's Helicorder Images, a way to record the earthquake in a given area.. even it is minimum. for reading of this, you need to do a bit study. surf the net, also go here:

Earthquake, shaking of the Earth’s surface caused by rapid movement of the Earth’s rocky outer layer. Earthquakes occur when energy stored within the Earth, usually in the form of strain in rocks, suddenly releases. This energy is transmitted to the surface of the Earth by earthquake waves. The study of earthquakes and the waves they create is called seismology (from the Greek seismos, “to shake”). Scientists who study earthquakes are called seismologists.\n\nThe destruction an earthquake causes depends on its magnitude and duration, or the amount of shaking that occurs. A structure’s design and the materials used in its construction also affect the amount of damage the structure incurs. Earthquakes vary from small, imperceptible shaking to large shocks felt over thousands of kilometers. Earthquakes can deform the ground, make buildings and other structures collapse, and create tsunamis (large sea waves). Lives may be lost in the resulting destruction.\n\nEarthquakes, or seismic tremors, occur at a rate of several hundred per day around the world. A worldwide network of seismographs (machines that record movements of the Earth) detects about 1 million small earthquakes per year. Very large earthquakes, such as the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, which caused millions of dollars in damage, occur worldwide once every few years. Moderate earthquakes, such as the 1989 tremor in Loma Prieta, California, and the 1995 tremor in Kōbe, Japan, occur about 20 times a year. Moderate earthquakes also cause millions of dollars in damage and can harm many people.\n\nIn the last 500 years, several million people have been killed by earthquakes around the world, including over 240,000 in the 1976 T’ang-Shan, China, earthquake. Worldwide, earthquakes have also caused severe property and structural damage. Adequate precautions, such as education, emergency planning, and constructing stronger, more flexible, safely designed structures, can limit the loss of life and decrease the damage caused by earthquakes.

Don't listen to that stuff you are hearing about a major quake.  If it happens it happens.  Here is what I know:  earthquakes cannot be predicted, you are just as likely to die tomorrow as you are a year or ten years from now (excluding a known terminal illness), and it seems senseless to waste energy worrying about this type of thing.  It is a complete unknown.

man cant control natural disasters for many reasons. first of all humans dont know when such an event will occur. most of the time they realize only after the disaster starts. secondly they have no technology that can stop a coming tornado or tsunami or such disaster.

the missisippi doesnt normally but it has before. sometime in the early 1900's (i cant remember when) a large earthquake, i think in the mossouri region, actually shifted the earths crust enough for it to run backwards for a short time. this was isolated however and has only happened once in recorded history

Here is one from Seattle:\nhttp://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es1005/es1005page01.cfm?chapter_no=10\nHere is one on National Geographic:\nhttp://www.nationalgeographic.com/forcesofnature/interactive/index.html?section=e\nHere is one for sale on CD of the Loma Prieta earthquake:\nhttp://www.eeri.org/cds_publications/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=47\nHere is one of an earthquake in Tokyo in 2000:\nhttp://www.earthscape.org/t1/abc27/abc27.html\nHere is one from an anonymous contributor of the Pakistan earthquake:\nhttp://www.earthscape.org/t1/abc27/abc27.html\n\nProbably the best source is Google Video in beta. It has at least 127 earthquake videos on the site. \nGo here:\nhttp://video.google.com/videosearch?q=earthquake

No Definitely not. Man could never tame or alter the path of the plates. However I do believe he may have alredy implemented change on the Convection currents. Global warming was probably helped by man during the Industrial revolution and has gone on ever since. Dont just blame America. I have seen some appalling instances of Major pollution in India and several other third world countries. It is a global thing and all countries of the world are guilty of some form of pollution.

i suggest to introduce ur website on different forums,groups etc.\nit is a fine web.\ni experienced the great earthquake which hit northern pakistan on 8th oct.2005.i felt as though i am riding a wild horse.a residential complex fell down in my city and there were 50000 deaths in the area.\n\nhere are some useful links 4 u.\ncheers

I doubt it...they would be able to predict the earthquakes and be better prepared if that was the case.

Yeah, like the guy above me said. More elequently, it's not knowing WHERE they are going to go, but WHEN.\n\nIt is virtually impossible to tell exactly when sudden displacement along a fault will occur, although the fact that it will eventually occur can be predicted. This is done by comparing the displacement of regions along the fault that move regularly (and without violent earthquakes) to quiet regions that are not experiencing any little quakes. It's the quiet regions that are to be worried about. They just sit and build up elastic potential and then snap all at once without warning.\n\nRule of thumb, do not live along active fault zones, nor on top of any tsunamite deposits (can be recognized by large angular blocks deposited in a diamicton).

YES, there are, but your biggest concern would still be tornados!  Back in the late summer/early fall of 2000 there was one in Amarillo.  That was the first time I had ever "felt" one.  My brother and I were sitting on the couch and it felt like someone started shaking it!  It was very brief, but everyone in our apt building opened their doors and were asking "did you feel that??  was that a.... NO WAY!"  Since then, there have been smaller ones here and there that are getting a bit of media coverage, like the one in Dumas, but not that entense or frequent.  Now I'm no geologist, but Amarillo DOES sit on top of an underground mountain range, so that might contribute.  The Panhandle Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, which every school kid is like REQUIRED to go to on at least 3 field trips in their lives, has an exhibit on it.  Pretty interesting.
