Hi On Tuesday Sweden had its greatest earthquake in a century. Nothing was damaged but it was still noticeable. It was a 4.7 Richter quake.
Working with earthquakes is an important thing. Strong quakes can be very destructive. I can not see how traditional seismology is correct in explaining quakes. Most quakes seems to have a point origin. Plate tectonic stress do not cause points of increased stress but rather in large continuous areas or at the most in large surfaces or lines. Not in points. Further observations from space show a local change in elevation of the ground around the quake and there is also something going on in space above the epicenter prior to the quake. This implies a very local (compared to plate tectonic scale) cause of the quake. The only stress release which could cause a point wise collapse or breakdown is a point wise expansion or retraction which in turn would cause or be caused by a temperature increase or decrease which would require enormous energies to be removed or added to the point in the crust. Any process except heating seems unlikely to cause the expansion. These energies have to come from the interior, which has a lot of thermal energy, or from space, which seems rather void. Maybe the space effects alter the thermal conduction in the crust. Best regards, David David Jonsson Sweden phone callto:+46703000370
