Wow. Sal should really enjoy this one...

An animated map that plots all of 2011's earthquakes that registered above magnitude 6. Watch it in full screen, and keep an eye on two things. The change in activity at just under the 2 minute mark, and the pattern of yellow dots that forms, each dot marking the epicenter of an earthquake.

    I'm amazed Japan and most of Asia are still standing.
    That was impressive.

    Now, if only they could plot a 'good man' by that......with dots that form, well you get the idea!

    Paul, if you market this, I want royalties!

      Plotting that map would depend on what you are looking for...do you want to plot the "fire" ?
      - or the "ring"?

      (or as Carol King would say: "I feel the Earth, move, under my feet"?)

    There is another odd thing that I find VERY peculiar.

    Did anyone else catch it too?

    • I dunno David - you have a very interesting theory there...quite compelling -

      I mean, I've heard and read of the Van Allen Belt...

      So...what you're saying is, this is related to a Van Halen Belt?

      Is it somehow related to the Roth/Hagar Rift? :rolleyes:
