Space Forum / Astronomy / December 2004the recent near miss and earthquakes
Any chance the recent near-miss asteroid had any influence on the recent indian ocean quake? No, none at all! Darren in Bakersfield > Any chance the recent near-miss asteroid had any influence on the > recent indian ocean quake? > No, none at all! But (on a different topic) I am fairly astonished the quake altered the Earth's rotation enough for the difference in rotation to be detected. -Dave http://www.daveboll.com/ >Any chance the recent near-miss asteroid had any influence on the >recent indian ocean quake? It was 5 meters across- objects this size actually hit the Earth's atmosphere regularly (without earthquakes occurring). Every boat within miles of the fault zone had more gravitational influence than 2004 YD5. (That's the long way of saying "no" <g>.) _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com Thanks anyway :) >>Any chance the recent near-miss asteroid had any influence on the >>recent indian ocean quake?

Several days ago on CNN's Crossfire Al Sharpton asked if the quake had anything to do with global warming! >>>Any chance the recent near-miss asteroid had any influence on the >>>recent indian ocean quake?

Global warming theory has at least some of the polar ice-caps melting and global sea-level rising by metres. That's going to change the distribution of mass over the earth's surface and thereby the stresses on fault lines. I think a direct correlation may be hard to prove, but a statistical analysis over a number of global warming/cooling cycles may show something, if we have the data. Any geologists in the house?

Global sea levels haven't risen by meters *yet*, but the earthquake event has happened. How can a possible future event exert force on the earth's fault lines now? http://www.grida.no/climate/vital/19.htm >That's going to change the distribution of mass over the earth's >surface and thereby the stresses on fault lines.

No, but the one from the USGS who was also present on the show also dismissed this idea. > Any chance the recent near-miss asteroid had any influence on the > recent indian ocean quake? No--there was no impact and the gravitational influence was F = G M m /r^2 ... You can do the calculations. The asteroid had nothing to do with it. It was Planet X.

Who said it missed?! ;-) Cheers, Larry G. >Any chance the recent near-miss asteroid had any influence on the >recent indian ocean quake? You are suggesting that plate migration is related to asteroids? No evidence for that. Last asteroid to cause a tidal wave is proposed to have struck the Caribbean/Gulf area over 30 million years ago. The earth is a dynamic planet and doesn't need help. Did the asteroid cause the snow fall on Gulf beaches in Texas and Louisiana? 2004 will be remembered for a very unusual Christmas. Mt.Saint Helens again shows suspicious activity. Most peculiar of all - democratic elections are in the near future in Ukraine, Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq. > Any chance the recent near-miss asteroid had any influence on the > recent indian ocean quake? No. What recent near miss? |
