Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands
"This week's deadly Asian Quake and Tsunami may have been so powerful,
that it changed the rate of Earth's rotation. In a Reuters article, a NASA <A HREF="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=IESG1YFI1NHI2CRBAELCF FA?type=scienceNews&storyID=7195443">geophysic ist theorizes that the quake compacted the Earth</a> enough to speed up the planet's rotation by 3 microseconds. A second article says the <A HREF="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=IESG1YFI1NHI2CRBAELCF FA?type=scienceNews&storyID=7194479">quake moved undersea tectonic plates</a> by up to 98 feet, shifting islands near Sumatra out to sea an unknown distance. Also, a <A HREF="http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqinthenews/2004/usslav/">USGS team wants images from commercial satellite operators</a> to help pinpoint coastline damage. Lastly, an interesting article from the Australian Spaceguard Survey about the <A HREF="http://www1.tpgi.com.au/users/tps-seti/spacegd7.html">need for a Tsunami warning system</a> in the Indian Ocean. The author comments that tsunami warnings may not help much, as people often flock to the coastline to see the giant waves."</i> The current estimated death toll is now nearly 70,000; Amazon, Apple and Google, among others, have added front-page links to simplify donating to the disaster relief effort.
