34. Have you ever asked why quakes happen? I think thats the better question.
I didn't know or particularly care much about earthquakes until I moved to California and was actually in an earthquake. Even then, I was not as interested I guess because I didnt realize we as humans had any direct effect on earthquakes.

Recently and even within the past few months, there have been threads, links to scientific and governmental studies dating all the way back to the 1950's which have approached the subject of earthquakes being a result of man's intervention and destruction of elements of the earth by various forms of injections of waste materials and fluids, along with the extraction of massive amounts of oil and other natural resources, and nuclear testing in the ocean. In other words, our depletion of the earth's resources along with injections of waste materials and other fluids cause earthquakes, because they demand a shift and change in the earths cores which causes logical shifts that will of course shift the earth's outer core. There has recently been posts containing information of nuclear testing affecting weather conditions and potentially tipping off earthquakes.

I dont think it takes a rocket scientist to conclude that something as destructive, invasive, and potentially widepread as a nuclear explosion could not easily affect and/or trigger a shift in the earth's core and/or outter rim.

The other night, as fate would have it*, I had the opportunity to speak with a wonderful women, age 78, who was a geologist by profession and had a thoroughly interesting discussion with her. She concurred that she had indeed been aware of these procedures (didnt have any information on the earthquakes) and mentioned her disappointment that our government has been less than forthcoming on such information.

Thought it was interesting.
