<< Thanks for the comments.
I agree with yours and Wally's idea of normalcy. I must say, with certainty,
that after having worked in communications and Intel in the Army for over 10
years, there have been tests done in the past of which no one aside from a
few, including our Russian counterparts, were aware. This of course does not
mean that this is an instance of these cases. Wally gives a http from which
the data is collected. I could not find however any specific mention of the
timing. It may show an accumulation of occurrences for individual years, but
where is the data for this specific time period and the magnitude. Is the
magnitude of these quakes normal for this time period. I am not a
seismologist. That said, are not earthquakes of greater magnitude more
common during periods of climatic change? If so, then is it normal for there
to be quakes of this magnitude during the winter?>
KVE: Never heard of this one! If I remember correctly, the focal depth for
the latest Afghan earthquake was at 50 km depth. A few degrees temperature
change or a bit less rain at the surface is not going to make any difference.
< Understand that I am not
trying to draw a conspiracy theory. I have had a few friends who question
this and I would prefer to have some concrete scientific reasoning for the
quakes. Any info on this would be appreciated. Also, would either of you
know what role the drought in that area would play on these quakes?
Thanks again.
