How earthquakes trigger tsunamis

Earthquake sensors in Michigan Tech's geological and mining engineering and sciences department picked up the earthquake in Japan about 12.5 minutes after it happened, as shown in this chart. The large vibrations reveal the magnitude and length of the quake; the smaller jumps in the bars below show the aftershocks.

Newswise — Researchers at Texas Tech University’s Center for Geospatial Technologies have created a near-real-time map of the aftershocks occurring globally following the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that rocked Japan Friday.

Kevin Mulligan, director of the center, said the map was developed today following a lack of new information presented on major news outlets. The map connects to near-real-time remote feeds from the United States Geological Survey’s Earthquake Hazards Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Tsunami Warning Center.

“This map is a dynamic map surface that shows the distribution of recent earthquakes from a USGS live remote feed,” Mulligan said. “It provides map information, satellite imagery and location of recent earthquakes. As part of this major earthquake, there are hundreds of aftershocks that follow.”

I'm coming up only to hold you under

I'm coming up only to show you wrong

And to know you is hard and we wonder

To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for

Morning to wake you; it's all we got

To know me as hardly golden

Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral

At every occasion once more is called a funeral

Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral

At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for

I'm coming up only to show you wrong

To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)

For'e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral

At every occasion once more is called the funeral

At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral

At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

There is no force on earth more powerful than the will to live

Are we born to run?
