Earthquakes in Scotland?

[lcafiero]

What's shakin'? As a Californian, I have set up on my email -- like probably everyone else in the state -- a notice to be sent whenever there's an earthquake anywhere in the world that is over 2.5 on the Richter Scale. It's a service provided by our friends as the U.S. Geological Survey, which monitors earthquakes worldwide.

Apparently Tuesday morning at around 1 your time, there was a quake measuring 3.1 on the Richter scale -- but it only got a 2.9 from the East German judge (a standard California joke) -- 17 miles west-northwest of a place called Lochgilphead on the West Coast of Scotland, at a depth of 10 kilometers (that matters, the deeper it is, the weaker it is on the surface).

Just curious - anyone feel it?

I've driven up to Lochgilphead Larry, it's in the wilds of Argyllshire, about 80 miles from Glasgow
Probably the most exciting thing to happen there since the invention of sliced bread

As I have a keen interest in geology, these thing always interest me, they always seem to happen at night and I always sleep though them
It’s movement of the highland fault line that runs diagonally across the middle to top half of the country, that’s formed the great glen and Loch Ness, we normally get 2-3 very small tremor’s a year, but that one was as big as we get here

There was one up in Dundee couple of weeks ago, just after wee Fat Charlie bounced of young Tony.

The earth didn't move for me Larry.

There's plenty of apps you can download on the subject. I find it very interesting how many earthquakes of various sizes there are every day. There are between 200-300 earthquakes every year in the UK however only about 20-30 are felt.

The epicenter was in fact traced to 150 Edmiston Dr, Glasgow.
Apparently big Dougie Park fell flat on his back when he got the Big Mike bill in

Did ye know that the Richter scale works on a non linear scale. Every 1 on the Richter scale is multiplied by 33. 2 on the Richter scale is 33 times the power of 1.
I just saw something recently about the worlds oldest earthquake monitoring station. Its in a wee croft in the Highlands. Modern geology was developed in Scotland by a guy called James Hutton.

Would that mean if we measured cheating on a Sevco Scale it would be 55 times the power of 1?

Modern geology was developed in Scotland by a guy called James Hutton.

I was visiting Edinburgh Uni yesterday to discuss new lab analysis techniques for hydrogen storage (which will be needed as they need to produce hydrogen for fuel from green energy as it can't cope with the peaks and troughs of normal energy consumption - you'll hear about it in 10-20 years time when you need to get new boilers, cookers, heaters, etc).

This is where James Hutton was lecturer and they still have his desk & office as the Geosicence building also has many museum exhibits. Although he is hardly known in Scotland he is considered one of our greatest scientists and on a par with the likes of Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawkins who are associated with other branches of science.

If we measured the Huns cheating if wid be aff the scale

 

[Richybhoy]

I was amazed at how many engineering, scientific and medical breakthroughs were first proposed in Scotland. James Clark Maxwell one of the most important Scientists of the Modern era (He was Einsteins hero) is virtually unknown in Scotland.
