I don't know, its kindoff peculiar, one earthquake occurring after another...

Well, the movement from one earthquake could knock something loose somewhere else and trigger a 'quake. It'd be kind of like a domino effect.

yeah, that could be one possible scenario

lol what we were talking about was on my rigionals test lol

[hanajitenshi]

i think we got 12th or higher

[smarticle13]

i think we got 12th or higher

fail!
jk

[hanajitenshi]

my team got a 5th in compute this and 3rd in wright stuff the medal in wright stuff makes up for what happen at the invittanol -.- forgot to regesor my arm we wolud have got first place too -.-

[smarticle13]

what was the hardest part of the test?

hatiti's was only 7.0 not even in the same league of destruction as the 9.5 in chile in 1960

I think the only thing wrong with that statement is the word "destruction". Yes, both quakes were devestating, but I can easily find people who would argue that the Haiti quake was much more "destructive" than the Valdivia quake. In those regards, I would change the word "destruction" to the words "energy release"

The Haiti quake released about 132 Petajoules of energy. (Peta is the next step from Tera)

The Valdivia quake of 1960 released about 744 Exajoules of Energy. (Exa is the next step up from Peta)

To put this in a little better persective, The recent Chile earthquake, magnitude 8.8, was about 1000 times the size of the Haiti quake energy wise. now raise that to the level of the 1960 quake. Thats A LOT in energy difference.
