sanjo 2 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 0336: It may seem slightly immaterial given what has followed, but Japanese officials have revised up the strength of Friday's quake from 8.8-magnitude to 9.0. US officials had measured it at 8.9. Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 This is 'sobering' to say the least: Quote: Oki warned that increases in seismic activity, especially of the inland type, have been historically noted before and following plate boundary earthquakes, although she said it was difficult to determine whether it had any relation to the magnitude-6.7 earthquake that hit Nagano and Niigata prefectures early Saturday. "Plate boundary earthquakes happen every 100 years or so, but one of this magnitude happens only once in 1,000 years," Oki said. Yuji Yagi, associate professor at Tsukuba University, said an earthquake of this scale could trigger other earthquakes at faults that are already on the brink of a tectonic upheaval. "The stress created by a massive quake increases the possibility of other large tremors; extreme caution is needed," he said. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Perhaps that is what has happened with the big one we had yesterday morning in Niigata. They were saying on the local news that the theory is that it was some remaining pressure that was released after being given a poke by the Tohoku one. We can only hope there are no more chain reacion quakes like that. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 One month of aftershocks due in the tohoku and kanto areas. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I remember after the Chuetsu Initially something like: "Aftershocks for at least a week" Soon changed to: "Aftershocks for at least a month" Next day: "Aftershocks for at least a month" Next day: "Aftershocks for at least a month" A week later: "Aftershocks for at least a month" A week later: "Aftershocks for at least a month" A week later: "Aftershocks for at least a month" Got to the point where you wanted to thrown something at the tv. Ended up, if I remember correctly, being at least a few months Niigata getting regular shakes. Link to post Share on other sites
