US Craton And Mississippi Valley Shifting Again

Some very interesting movement is taking place in the interior USA. Small to medium-sized earthquakes are again shaking the Craton boundary and the Mississippi Valley.

Beginning November 1, 2013 through November 6, 2013, the following quakes occurred. Some movement is subsurface volcanic activity (Oregon), some is the weakening of the crust from fracking (Oklahoma), and one appears to be from a quarry blast, but ALL should be recognized as crustal movement, and that’s always significant:

  1. 2.7  Beatty, Nevada
  2. 3.7  Edmond, Oklahoma
  3. 2.6  Spencer, Oklahoma
  4. 2.7  Jones, Oklahoma
  5. 3.6  Spencer, Oklahoma
  6. 2.5  Spencer, Oklahoma
  7. 2.7  Spencer, Oklahoma
  8. 2.6  Spencer, Oklahoma
  9. 2.7  Jones, Oklahoma
  10. 3.1  Dillon, Montana
  11. 3.3  Spencer, Oklahoma
  12. 3.2  Countryside, Illinois (quarry blast?)
  13. 3.8  Jones, Oklahoma
  14. 3.2  Spencer, Oklahoma
  15. 3.2  Bandon, Oregon
  16. 2.7  Baker City, Oregon
  17. 2.6  Reno, Texas (west of Ft. Worth)
  18. 4.0  Offshore Oregon

Human Interference

We must remember that human interference is weakening an already fractured crust. Don’t blame Nature – blame development.

The old Craton boundary is where the ocean once met the North American shore, and these are areas rich in ancient, fossilized natural resources that we, modern humans, are addicted to.

As technology taps into, and over extracts, these resources, the crust becomes even weaker. This leaves Americans susceptible to earthquake effects.

Pay attention to these shifts at the Craton and Mississippi Valley because they will move as the Earth moves. This not only signals the shifting at the poles, but it also reminds us how human interference in the natural Earth/cosmic cycle will cause more damage to the people living within these areas.

 

Pay Attention To Unusual US Earthquakes

There is an increase in earthquakes worldwide today.

It’s human nature to worry about the large earthquakes happening around the world today, but some of the smaller quakes can be just as intriguing – especially when they occur in odd places.

The Craton

There is an ancient geologic plate boundary that was once the southern seashore in the USA called the Craton boundary.

Craton boundaries are found all over the Earth, and these are the ancient continental boundaries that we can “no longer see.” Rest assured that they are still there, and they are becoming more active as the Earth’s poles shift and reposition the planet’s crust.

The North American Craton runs alongside/parallel to the Appalachian Mountains and turns west in Northern Georgia. It goes through Northern Alabama, Mississippi, Southern Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Northern Texas. At the foothills of the Rockies in Northeastern New Mexico, the Craton boundary shoots north and parallel to the Rocky Mountains through Canada.

The Craton boundary is the location of the North American continental shoreline over 65 million years old, and earthquakes along this ancient southern plate boundary are increasing in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and along the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi River Valley.

This is something that we need to pay attention to.

US Craton Quakes Within the Past 5 Days

  1. Trinidad, Colorado – 2.9 and 2.6
  2. Ridgeville, South Carolina – 2.5
  3. Whitehall, Montana – 2.6
  4. Alamo, Nevada 2.6
  5. Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming – 3.4, 3.2, 2.7, 2.7, 2.5, 3.6, 2.6 (all on 9/15/13)
  6. Boley, Oklahoma – 3.1
  7. Greenbrier, Arkansas – 2.5
  8. Anthony, Kansas – 2.9

The magnitude doesn’t matter in this case – it’s the LOCATION that matters, and the locations are most intriquing, wouldn’t you say?

We Saw It Coming

On September 14, 2013, the day before the US Craton began to move, their was a major earthquake swarm in the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea south of the Craton boundary.

This Virgin Island transform fault zone experienced over 35 earthquakes in less than 12 hours. The quakes stopped once the swarm began at Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming.

The North American Plate is moving, no doubt.

Heads up, all you States along the Craton. You might want to take your great-grandmother’s antique China bowl down from the top-shelf.

 

 

Earthquake Activity Increases In Yellowstone

Earthquake activity is increasing in Yellowstone National Park, but, actually, small quake activity is increasing all over the USA in places that typically do not experience much noticeable ground shaking.

Quake List

Since June 30, 2013, the USA has experienced the following quakes in order of occurrence: (I did not include Alaska, Hawaii, or California because the list would be too long.)

  1. Madill, Oklahoma – 3.0
  2. La Pine, Oregon – 2.5
  3. West Yellowstone, Montana – 2.7
  4. Englewood, Tennessee – 2.5
  5. West Yellowstone, Montana – 2.5
  6. Fairport Harbor, Ohio – 3.2
  7. Enid, Oklahoma – 2.9
  8. Enid, Oklahoma – 3.3
  9. West Yellowstone, Montana – 3.1
  10. West Yellowstone, Montana – 2.7
  11. Meeker, Oklahoma – 2.6
  12. Battle Mountain, Montana – 2.5
  13. West Yellowstone, Montana – 2.9
  14. Fairfield Bay, Arkansas – 2.8
  15. Spanish Springs, Nevada – 2.8

The magnitudes may seem small, but the list is long for the continental US. Most of the movement is along the old Craton boundary, but when Yellowstone increases in activity, pay attention to that ...
