wut did one earth quake say to the other earth quake?

It needs two to tango.

There are pre-tremors associated with impending earthquakes in well defined regions.  However, these are seismic as well, and not associated with the atmosphere.  There is no one sign in the atmosphere, and certainly not three.

Yes. \n\nThe earthquake starts when the two massive land masses on each side of the fault line break loose, as the Masses are trying to move and build up tremendous pressure in the fault (The actual crack between land Masses) builds and finally releases when the land Masses suddenly jolt apart causing an oscillation  resulting in an earthquake. \n\nGood question, \n\nDarryl S.

Yeah I have a video. It was actually buddha saying "BOOM!!" and so it was... sorry all other religions\n\nSPECULATE WILDLYKDSJFS'D

Underwater earthquakes cause Tsunamis. Not god you braindead christian nitwit!

Where did u hear this from? (place, person)

try using geophysics book as your reference.\np (primary) waves travel on solid, liquid and gas mediums.\nS (shear) waves travel only on solid mediums.\nA proof of this, is an occurrence of earthquakes, is which the quake produces seismic waves and the seismic centers can measure this waves and telling the magnitude of an earthquake.\nIf the earth is hollow, they (siesmologists) couldn't measure the magnitude of earthquakes.

Yes, it's nearly certain there will be an earthquake in Indonesia this year -- there are hundreds of them there every year!  Most of them are too small to be felt, however.\n\nNobody can predict the things you ask for, though.  Not scientifically or any other way.  Sorry, you'll have to wait and see if there's a "big one" this year like the rest of us.

Now, I can't swear to this, because I was half asleep when I watched this, but I watched this show on the Discovery channel about a week ago.  They were talking about how the earth has a molten core that is constantly moving around, so therefore we have earthquakes.  The moon is solid, so therefore, no earthquakes.  That's also why we don't see many of the craters from asteroids that hit us over the millions of years because our earth's surface is continually changing from these earthquakes.

I would have worded this joke, "Would an underperforming seismologist be on shaky groun in his field?"\n\nIts funnier that way and makes more sense.  Otherwise you could just ask "Is a seismologist on shaky ground?" because without the "in his field" the underperforming has no meaning.

Earthquakes are caused by the shifting of the Earth's tectonic plates. We don't get earthquakes like the West coast here on the east coast because there simply isn't as much shifting.

Yes, 4.72564 minutes prior to the quake, the Oslich meter at St. Pottersdam was at 2856532.2045115.  7.05476 seconds after the quake the meter was at 10254723.589542!  This enormous change in the tectonic pressure matrix was 50X's higher than ever recorded!  This measurement was compared to NASA's FRR (Frontline Rotation Research).  This showed that the earth had moved .059854 to the North and .2564 to the East.  So basically we moved 7.65945 miles closer to Mars and 8.625 miles further from earth's moon.  \n\nIn Flemming Murdock's recent book, (Too Close For The Truth), he said that in then 1994 Northridge, Ca event; "The loss of life and damage caused by the event was minimal compared to the  shifting of the earth caused by the event".  He has 78 graphics in the book that show the dangers of earthquakes.   The Northridge quake moved Earth 18.45 miles toward the sun and the Kobe quake brought Earth another 19.78  toward the sun.  "The Southeast Asia quake moved Earth 2547.56447 closer to the sun", he said.  Life on Earth will be wiped out when Earth is 2165.5144 closer to the sun".  In other words, just 4 more 7-point quakes will doom the Earth.

Actually about two earth tremors are felt every year in Hong Kong. They are small, and less frequent than in other areas, however Hong Kong is NOT necessarily safe from earthquakes. \n\nThe nearest known plate boundary (of the Eurasian and Pacific plates) is about 600 km away, but there are still occasional midplate earthquakes that occur (seismologists do not know the origin of these). However, this does not mean that there is not some other fault nearby that has not revealed itself. Microplates near plate boundaries do exist, and sometimes these are surrounded by "locked" faults (because sufficient stress has not accumulated to overcome the resistance presented by asperities).  This can either mean that the chance of earthquakes is reduced, but it can also mean that if these asperities are overcome, the energy release can be substantial. \n\nThe Hong Kong government seismic observatory states that:\n\n"Several scientific studies carried out recently showed that in Hong Kong, the return period for an Intensity V (5) tremor would be 15 to 20 years and that for an Intensity VII (7) tremor would be 350 to 400 years." \n\nThe intensity scale is known as the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale. An intensity of V corresponds to a magnitude of 4.3 to 4.8 on the Richter scale. An intensity of VII corresponds to a magnitude of 4.8 to 6.2 on the Richter scale.\n\nAccording to the official government of Hong Kong publication on earthquake hazards in Hong Kong:\n\n"Every year, about two earth tremors are felt in Hong Kong. To put this in context, studies into earthquake risk in Hong Kong carried out by the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) classified the seismicity of Hong Kong and the adjoining Guangdong Province as "low to moderate". The earthquake hazard in Hong Kong is therefore considered to be very much lower than in areas such as Japan, Taiwan and the western USA which lie close to the earth's more seismically active zones along crustal plate boundaries. However, earthquake risk in Hong Kong cannot be regarded as negligible."

There aren't any earthquakes caused by underground nuclear weapons.  Unless you can fill us in.\n\nThere are measurable seismic events caused by nuke tests.  But they are not earthquakes.\n\nSo, 'regular' earthquakes shake the ground and are noticed by people.  The seismic events caused by nuke tests do not shake the ground and are not noticed by people, unless they are seismologists and have very sensitive equipment.

The San Francisco 1906 earthquake occurred along the well-known San Andreas fault. The San Andreas fault is where two different blocks of the Earth's crust contact each other. Take a look at these websites for more information:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1906_San_Francisco_earthquake\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Andreas_Fault

Giant rock plates pushing against each other suddenly slip causing the earth to move, sending out ripples like in a pond.\n\nChildren can recreate the action of a fault slipping with their hands.  Place both hands together, palm-to-palm.  Push the palms together.  While pushing the palms together, slide one hand forward away from the body while sliding the other hand back toward the body.  At first, nothing will happen.  As force is added to the forward-backward movement, the hands will suddenly slip, much as the earth does during an earthquake.
