LoonylionIt would happen instantly, and the only affect on life it would have is a lot of inconvenience. People and animals would get lost a lot more but other than being annoying it wouldnt do any harm.
Migratory birds & homing pigeons might have issues with their internal magnetic compasses at first, but they can adapt.
LoonylionMost earthquakes are not newsworthy. Case in point the one in Mexicali last week, the report mentioned that the region had been experiencing 3.0s all week. As our Mexican friend Patton said, Mexicali is always having earthquakes. The media just dont take any interest until its a big one like the 7.2 last week.I think there's been an increase in big earthquakes lately, but thats a cyclical thing that happens every so many years.
Being inside the Pacific Ring of Fire myself, I'm aware that a lot of low level earthquakes (3.0s & below) are frequent, it's just that a lot of higher intensity earthquakes (5.0's & up) have indeed been more frequent lately.
klaimoreI think earth has the same number of earthquakes, but just that it's near like USA or something everyone has to make a big deal 'bout it.
If an earthquake happened where eskimos live, no one would care.
I see we have another "proud" American on here.
Remember Some Eskimos (or properly called as the Inuit people) do live in one of your States, Alaska to be exact. So you fail at dissing other people as you're dissing yourself as well.
Damn earthquake after earthquake, whos gonna get hit next?

Bloodlust_NSIs it just me or does Earth have more frequent earthquakes than usual?
I just think more of the earthquakes are news-worthy, whatever the hell that means.
Apparently in California we have an earthquake every few seconds, but no one can feel it.
Eh ? This happened 6 days ago ?
I don't know about this news until today, well I live in a different island so I don't feel the effect.In Sumatra huh ? Hope Java doesn't get hit.
