Oklahoma And Texas Earthquakes Getting Stronger

Earthquakes in Texas and Oklahoma are increasing along the ancient Craton Boundary, both in number and in magnitude.

The quakes are a result of mounting Earth movement due to Earth changes, but the concentration of movement in these two states is exacerbated by the oil and gas industry’s fracking procedures.

Fracking

Oil pumps in the sunset.

Our addiction to oil and gas is creating more future problems.

Our refusal to lessen our dependency on oil and gas has led us to using very eco-unfriendly techniques of “bleeding the Earth” of every drop of oil we can get our hands on.

Fracking does not cause earthquakes, but fracturing the weakest parts of the Earth’s crust certainly exaserbates them. THIS is what is happening in Texas and Oklahoma today.

Human interference is weakening an already fractured crustDon’t blame Nature for your property damage – blame our gluttony and addiction to profits.

The Craton

The Craton boundary is where the ocean (now the Gulf of Mexico) once met the North American shore, and these are areas rich in ancient, fossilized natural resources that we, modern humans, are addicted to. Cratons are found on every continent, and every Craton boundary is rich in minerals.

As modern technology over extracts these “boundary” resources, the crust becomes weaker. This leaves the people in these areas susceptible to earthquake effects. It doesn’t seem like people living in Oklahoma or Texas are expecting any major damage, but what we are NOT considering is the fact that:

  1. the North American plate (crust) is moving;
  2. this movement will eventually affect the US West Coast;
  3. crustal movement will also effect the Mississippi River Valley.

Pay attention to these quakes on the Craton and along the Mississippi Valley because they are the warning signs that the USA will respond to movement at the North American Plate. Increase your awareness so you can prepare for the changes ahead.

The Earth Expansion Theory – Why Islands Rise From The Sea

A woman sweating.

When your body heats up, you sweat to naturally cool off.

What happens to your body when you exercise? Your body heat increases, right?

As body heat increases, it expands to escape through the pores of your skin. You sweat more as a natural cooling mechanism to keep your body temperature balanced.

Well, the Earth does the same thing – just on a mega-scale.

The Earth’s Core

The Earth's core.

The Earth’s core is hot, very hot, and as the heat rises, it expands at the surface of the Earth.

Our planet is hot, very hot, deep inside. There are three main sources of heat within the Earth:

  1. heat from when the planet first formed, which is still in there;
  2. frictional heating, caused by the dense core material sinking toward the center of the Earth;
  3. heat from the decay of radioactive elements.

Just as heat inside of your body expands to escape through your pores, the heat inside of the Earth expands to escape through the cracks in the crust.

Here’s a glitch, though – like your skin, the outer crust acts like a blanket that traps the inner heat. When the Earth gets hotter, the excess heat must release, so it escapes through cracks in the crust causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Fracking and excessive oil and gas drilling weaken the crust, and this opens the door to more Earth expansion at the fractures, holes, and cracks in the crust.

As heat rises from the core of the Earth, it escapes at the surface much like the inside of a boiling egg oozes out of cracks in the shell.

Earth Expansion

Now, what happens when you boil a pot of eggs? The heat of the pan increases the heat of the water, which heats and hardens the egg.

Well, the Earth does the same thing – just on a mega-scale.

As the Earth releases heat, the crust expands when the heat rises and escapes, much like the inside of a boiling egg oozes out of a crack in the eggshell.

The more heat – the more cracks.

Pakistan Island Rising

Following a swarm of large earthquakes in Pakistan on September 24, 2013, within hours an island rose out of the Arabian Sea.

Its appearance was caused by Earth expansion, and as the planet continues to release heat under the crust, more events like this are sure to happen all over the planet.

Check out the vimeo I did with Michael Edward on Earth expansion in the Gulf of Mexico after the BP oil spill in 2010. As you will see, there are lots of “cracks” in the Gulf – some are natural and many are man-made.

The Earth Expansion Theory is powerful information that explains crazy Earth movements like islands rising from the sea.

Hey, it’s not every day that you can watch an island form. I guess the Earth’s been working out lately.
