Earthquakes



The data used in the analysis below were collected from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) as of June 30, 2010 and going back to to the year 1900. The number of earthquakes were averaged since 1900 in each magnitude range (5.0 to 5.9, 6.0 – 6.9, 7.0 to 7.9, and 8.0 to 9.9), and also averaged on the same data over the last 10 years. The data was then compared with current earthquake statistics so far in 2010.
Earthquakes of magnitude 5 – 5.9 have increased by 27 percent (127% of normal) compared with same range of earthquakes over the last 10 years.
Earthquakes of magnitude 5 – 5.9 have increased by 49 percent (149% of normal) compared with same range of earthquakes since the year 1900.

Earthquakes of magnitude 6 – 6.9 have increased by 26 percent (126% of normal) compared with same range of earthquakes over the last 10 years.
Earthquakes of magnitude 6 – 6.9 have increased by 36 percent (136% of normal) compared with same range of earthquakes since the year 1900.

Earthquakes of magnitude 7 – 7.9 have increased by 39 percent (139% of normal) compared with same range of earthquakes over the last 10 years.
Earthquakes of magnitude 7 – 7.9 have increased by 22 percent (122% of normal) compared with same range of earthquakes since the year 1900.

Earthquakes of magnitude 8 – 9.9 have equaled the average of  1 (100% normal) compared with same range of earthquakes over the last 10 years.
Earthquakes of magnitude 8 – 9.9 haveequaled the average of  1 (100% normal) compared with same range of earthquakes since the year 1900.

The biggest problem, according to geophysicists is that the tectonic plate shifts have increased the number of serious earthquakes in the past one-year an enormous amount and the rate is exponentially increasing. Scientists are blaming the Polar reversal and these will continue till 2012.Very rarely the Sun and the Earth simultaneously reverses polarity. That is exactly what is happening now. When this happens catastrophes happen in the earth. If history is a guide of anything, these earthquakes and volcanoes will continue to increase till 2012.
