if you watch any shows on the discovery science channel, you will see that even the smallest effect in the rotation of this planet can cause major weather changes. therefore, even the slightest out of balance rotation can create havoc.

Watch SoCal's weather turn into a climate like BC!

yeah, it was a powerful little stir

Manowar · 12-28-2004, 01:50 PM

as long as it doesnt put us out of orbit

Loryn · 12-28-2004, 01:54 PM

From what I heard it may have caused the rotation to slow down but nothing that we will noticed. It has happened before and we didn't noticed it. This time it was a little bigger but they said still nothing we will notice.

Now yes there could be one that will some day change things a little, that is a given. Look at all the stuff the earth has done in the past. It's nothing new that the earth changes and shifts all the time. Nothing to get Chicken Little over!!!

I hope the next major earthquake shakes the clothes off all of the hot women of the world.

SiMpLe · 12-28-2004, 01:59 PM

I watched on the news that it actually sped up. Then a guy asked if this would change time and she laughed and said no... It's less then a milli second.

actually what they are expecting within the next 20 to 50 years is an ice age type climate over england. if the conveyor shuts off in the north atlantic (off the coast of britan), that is going to send weather patterns into a frenzy and it has been stated that england and a good portion of northern europe will become the new alaska.

I'd rather have a Tsunami any day then an earthquake. At least with a tsunami we'd have some warning since the Pacific has an emergency warning system.

That's an interesting point. Does anyone know how long it was before the tsunami hit land after the earthquake?

davethetruth · 12-29-2004, 11:51 AM

It took 2 hours to get to Indonesia, travelling at speeds as fast as 500mph.

Furious_Male · 12-29-2004, 11:52 AM

Its pretty amazing when you stop to think about it. You have to wonder what a series of quakes like what just happened could do. Its not out of the realm of possibilty in our lifetime.

Earthquakes vs. the Earth's Rotation
How major tremors alter the planet's wobble.
By Sam Schechner
Posted Monday, Dec. 27, 2004, at 5:05 PM PT

In covering the massive, tsunami-generating earthquake off the northwest coast of Sumatra this weekend, many news outlets picked up a statement from Enzo Boschi, head of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics, saying the temblor was strong enough to disturb the Earth's rotation. Can an earthquake really affect the way the planet spins on its axis?

Yep. As you'll recall from science class, the rotating Earth resembles a spinning top: The planet's axis does not always point in exactly the same direction but wobbles very slightly, describing small but measurable circles at the poles. A very large earthquake?one of a magnitude of 9.0 or greater?can shift enough mass relative to that of the entire Earth to alter, very minutely, the course of that wobble. But the planet's speed of rotation (which, of course, determines the lengths of our days) remains unchanged, so we don't need to worry about adjusting our watches.
