tsunami & Noah
[email protected]
I'm bringing this here just because this group's more open-minded. <g>
I look at these photos of Band Aceh and can't help but think of the biblical
flood. That all the animals found higher ground. That here may have been
some fellow named Noah who had Howard Gardner's Nature/animal
intelligence----and who had a clue. That the winners/survivors write history! <g>
Can you imagine how a country/people would view such devastation in the
absence of science and knowledge of earthquakes/tsunamis? Almost ALL the people
were wiped out---just a few survivors---but the animals knew enough to get out
of the path. God must have thought they were really wicked....
Also---does the ultra-funky weather in CA right now have anything to do with
the tsunami? Forty days & nights? <G>
These are incredible satellite photos of before and after the tsunami! You
can see from these photos the damage done to the land - devastating. Click
the before or after button at the top

There is new satellite imagery that showed the tsunami had an effect on all
open bodies of water around the world, including the east and west coasts of
the US.
I don't think the two are related, in the small picture, but I think they
are related in the bigger one. That of global climate, etc. I don't know much
about these things but your points are interesting to ponder.

Hi,
I dont recall what radio station I heard this on, but they mentioned that the tsunami affected the levels of water in wells in Maryland . . . I think it said the levels rose. Anyone else hear that?

Here's a little blurb from the NASA web site.

If you go to the above address and read there are images and links, but
here's the story.

How the Earthquake
affected Earth
The Dec. 26th Indonesian megathrust earthquake quickened Earth's rotation
and changed our planet's shape.
January 10, 2005: NASA scientists studying the Indonesian earthquake of
Dec. 26, 2004, have calculated that it slightly changed our planet's
shape, shaved almost 3 microseconds from the length of the day, and
shifted the North Pole by centimeters.
Dr. Benjamin Fong Chao of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and Dr.
Richard Gross of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said all earthquakes
have some effect on Earth's rotation. It's just that the effects are,
usually, barely noticeable.
This one was not usual: The devastating megathrust earthquake registered
nine on the new "moment" scale (modified Richter scale), making it the
fourth largest 'quake in one hundred years.
Chao and Gross routinely calculate earthquakes' effects on Earth's shape
and rotation. They also study changes in polar motion--that is, the
shifting of the North Pole.
According to their latest calculations, the Dec. 26th earthquake shifted
Earth's "mean North Pole" by about 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) in the
direction of 145 degrees east longitude, more or less toward Guam in the
Pacific Ocean. This shift is continuing a long-term seismic trend
identified in previous studies.
The quake also affected Earth's shape. Chao and Gross calculated that
Earth's oblateness (flattening on the top and bulging at the equator)
decreased by a small amount--about one part in 10 billion. This continues
the trend of earthquakes making Earth less oblate. Less oblate means more
round.
They also found the earthquake decreased the length of the day by 2.68
microseconds. (A microsecond is one millionth of a second.) In other
words, Earth spins a little faster than it did before. This change in
spin is related to the change in oblateness. It's like a spinning skater
drawing arms closer to the body resulting in a faster spin.
None of these changes have yet been measured--only calculated. But Chao
and Gross hope to detect the changes when Earth rotation data from ground
based and space-borne sensors are reviewed.
