EARTHQUAKES IN AFRICA
Earthquakes in Africa are significant because Africa does not receive much earthquake activity. Does increased earthquake activity in Africa mean increased earthquake activity elsewhere in the world? In some cases it might. For example, could the Congo and Lake Tanganyika earthquakes send seismic vibrations up the Great Rift Valley that runs all the way up to Europe from Tanzania through the Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee possibly triggering the 4 major 5.0 - 5.4 M Earthquakes in Greece occurring on March 24, 2007, May and June 2007? Also see close link between East Africa 6.0M Quakes and 5.0M Quake in Greece on July 17, 2007.
EAST AFRICA-GREECE CONNECTION
Observe the connection between East Africa region and Greece. In the same period of the 5.7, 6.0M, 5.4M, 5.2M, 5.2Mb, 5.0M, 5.0Mb and 4.7M earthquakes in Tanzania, East Africa, we get 5.0M, 4.7M and 4.7Mb in Greece suggesting a possible Rift Valley connection.
2008 EAST AFRICA-GREECE CONNECTION
In 2008, we are already seeing a repeat of the 2007 East Africa-Greece earthquake connections, where earthquakes occurring in East and Southeastern Africa somehow "trigger" or to use a more scientifically accepted term for which there are none, "influence" or "suggest," this is as weak as we can now get using cautious optimism that maintains one's tenure and position within the holy, sacrosanct global scientific community, which does not control my thoughts, mind-set or frame of reference. For early February 2008 , see Africa: 6.1, 5.1, 5.0 and the seemingly related Greece: 4.9. |
