A bit wet

[Outlaw Yogi]

Naffie got an F for geology.

I showed the faults you mention, that man’s activity might accelerate movement in—might—were put there by tectonic events.

The only “earthquakes” man has caused is subsidence by removal of underground material.

Cretinous phuken halfwit is so dazzled by his imagined brilliance he's completely ignored 40% of the cause of quakes, vulcanism/plutonism as if it never existed. Then hallucinates about showing something.

Ah well, I come across halfwits on a semi regular basis ... just most aren't as eager to illustrate how stupid the are.

Thanks for the information Yogi.

Four main activities contribute to this phenomenon: constructing large dams and buildings, drilling and injecting liquid into wells, and by coal mining and oil drilling.

Even without confirmation by geologists - logic would tell you that you can't keep penetrating the earth's surface without some collateral damage.

Vulcanism is but one type of orogeny.

Vulcanism is but one type of orogeny.

Actually vulcanism/plutonism/volcanism is independent of tectonics, and oregeny is tectonic specific.

[Jovial Monk]

Mountain building = orogeny.

And vulcanism is so unrelated to tectonic events that it is purely coincidence that the Pacific is said to be girdled by a “Ring of Fire.”

Orogeny
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orogeny#Orogenic_cycle

Orogeny refers to forces and events leading to a severe structural deformation of the Earth's crust due to the engagement of tectonic plates. Response to such engagement results in the formation of long tracts of highly deformed rock called orogens or orogenic belts. The word "orogeny" comes from the Greek (oros for "mountain" plus genesis for "creation" or "origin"), and it is the primary mechanism by which mountains are built on continents. Orogens develop while a continental plate is crumpled and thickened to form mountain ranges, and involve a great range of geological processes collectively called orogenesis.[1][2]

Check the whole page, guess what? ... not a word about vulcanism/plutonism/volcanism.

While metamorphism is vulcan and oregenic, vulcanism is still independent of tectonics.
Vulcanism is opportunistic and will use any weak spot available, whether it be on plate boundaries (as per Ring of Fire) or within the continental lithosphere. Orogenesis and vulcanism can impact upon each other, but still operate independently.

Do some more research before pretending to be expert, Brainstorm

Spotted this purely by chance while skulking 'round a U$ doomsday nutter's site.

Here is the latest example of vulcanism impacting on plate tectonics and clearly illustrates JM's ignorance concerning a topic he would have us believe he is knowledgeable in.

Violent Seismic Activity Tearing Africa in Two
http://www.spiegel.de/international/wor ... 41,00.html

The fissures began appearing years ago. But in recent months, seismic activity has accelerated in northeastern Africa as the continent breaks apart in slow motion. Researchers say that lava in the region is consistent with magma normally seen on the sea floor -- and that water will ultimately cover the desert.

The earth is in upheaval in northeastern Africa, and the region is changing quickly. The desert floor is quaking and splitting open, volcanoes are boiling over, and seawaters are encroaching upon the land. Africa, researchers are certain, is splitting apart at a rate rarely seen in geology.

Oh wow, you had to go a wiki page???

I just spent 3 years studying geology.

The how come you know so little about the subject?

Bet my rock collection is bigger, more interesting and more valuable than yours.

Yet no degree...
Anyone who says they "studied" a particular subject really mains they "failed"
