Diving between the American and Eurasian continental plates at Thingvellir National Park. Water temp is 37º fahrenheit (2.7º Celcius) and comes from geothermal vent's far below the earth's surface. The clarity is so extreme that some people experience vertigo after jumping in (with a mask of course). The water is so clean and pure that you can drink from it at any point during the dive and has traveled ten years to reach this destination. An AMAZING experience, not for the claustrophobic!!

A massive 6.4 Magnitude earthquake has just stuck the southwest of Pakistan. More than 100 are already dead and hundreds more are flocking to nearby hospitals. The quake brought down hundreds of mud walled homes, and authorities are expecting the death toll to rise. For more news and videos visit ☛ ntd.tv Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on Facebook ☛ on.fb.me The quake struck early at 5:10am Pakistan time, hitting 60 kilometres (40 miles) northeast of Quetta, in South West Pakistan. Pakistans Meteorological Department said the two tremors struck before dawn, and the second one was bigger than the first. Hospital staff and officials said scores of people are injured. Most when their homes collapsed or in the panic when rushing from their homes. Large parts of south Asia are seismically active because a tectonic plate known as the Indian plate is pushing north into the Eurasian plate.

I do not know if Nancy is really recieving from the Zetas and if so, if the recieving is clear or not and merely imagination or misinformation. earthchanges.ning.com The map by Nancy Lieder differs from all well known maps. I believe lands will sink and new lands will rise, but the Zeta map shows only India and Australia sinking! Also shows the south pole to be over India. Interesting to note Mythi on Captain Bill's channel, in one of his videos, discounts the projected map more likley some parts of India may sink, but not the whole subcontinent. The Indian plate is pushing against the Eurasia plate, since both are hard rock the land has no choice but to go upwards, hence the Himalayas which are still rising. The Indian plate is being pushed under the eurasia plate, as are all the plates, pushing against each other and parts of every plate going under another. But it also depends on the crust and magma underneath the plate. As for instance the British Isles is tipping with Scotland rising and England sinking. We can surmise Islands and lowlands will be going under. The maps by Edgar Cayce, Gordon Scallion and Lori Toye all show Bangladesh and Pakistan gone. with India effected only near areas bordering these areas. Bangladesh is below sea level and sees regular flooding. Holland is also below sealevel and have barriers against the sea, so these maps seem to be accurate in projection.

Updated: 04 May 2012

On September 18, 2011, a large earthquake struck near Sikkim, India. Tectonic Summary: The September 18, 2011 India-Nepal border region earthquake occurred near the boundary between the India and Eurasia plates, in the mountainous region of northeast India near the Nepalese boarder. Initial analyses suggest the earthquake was complex, likely a result of two events occurring close together in time at depths of approximately 20 km beneath the Earth's surface. At the latitude of the September 18 earthquake, the India plate converges with Eurasia at a rate of approximately 46 mm/yr towards the north-northeast. The broad convergence between these two plates has resulted in the uplift of the Himalayas, the world's tallest mountain range. The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake suggests strike slip faulting, and thus an intraplate source within the upper Eurasian plate or the underlying India plate, rather than occurring on the thrust interface plate boundary between the two. This region has experienced relatively moderate seismicity in the past, with 18 earthquakes of M 5 or greater over the past 35 years within 100 km of the epicenter of the September 18 event. The largest of these was a M 6.1 earthquake in November of 1980, 75 km to the southeast.

Mount Etna Erupts Furiously As Volcano Spews Lava And Ash April 13th 2012

Updated: 05 Sep 2012

Europe's tallest active volcano, Mount Etna, has been blasting flaming lava and ash into the air in its sixth eruption this year. The eruption is the 24th in a series that began in January 2011. Rock blew off the southeast side of the mountain, which is only 10 miles from the Zafferana Etnea village and 18 miles North of the town of Catania on the Italian island of Sicily. Mount Etna Facts :: 25% of Sicily's population live on Etna's slopes. :: Height: 10925ft (3330m). :: It has been growing for 500000 years. :: Longest eruption: 13 years in 1979. :: Base: 93 miles (150 km) around. No warnings of danger have so far been issued by authorities and Catania International Airport has remained open. Eruptions from Etna, which reaches 11000ft, have been caused by the African tectonic plate sliding below the Eurasian plate. The Eurasian plate is melting as it moves downwards and hot magma is being forced up to the surface. Etna's most powerful recorded eruption was in 1669 when the mountain top was destroyed and lava ran in to the Mediterranean Sea. It is difficult to predict when the mountain will erupt next. But Dr John Murray estimates that between 2007 and 2015 Etna's output will be about half of what it was between 1987 and 1995. There is no chance the volcano will stay quiet, though.

The Philippines, like Japan, sits in one of the most volatile tectonic areas on Earth but unlike Japan, the Philippines is under geological assault from plate movements on all sides. The Philippine plate is squeezed in between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific Plate, but the situation is more complex than that. The Philippine Islands are surrounded by complex plate boundaries, and the Philippines Plate rather consists of several micro-plates -- squeezed in between two convergent plate margins. The lines with black triangles are active subduction zones with teeth on the over-riding plate. Lines with white triangles are passive subduction zones with teeth on the over-riding plate. The major Philippine fault zone is shown as a black line with arrows showing the movement direction. The volcanoes Pinatubo and Mayon are shown as red dots. The volcanoes of the Philippines are probably the most deadly in world. Both Pinatubo and Mayon are both capable of producing VEI6 type eruptions. Because the moon's tidal influence is so great in the Pacific, volcanologists warned in 2006 that Mount Mayon could explode at any time and that the gravitational pull of a full moon could provide the final push. A full moon coincided with at least three of Mayon's nearly 50 explosions over the last four centuries, including the two most ...

Located in the Þingvallavatn Lake in the Þingvellir National Park in Iceland, Silfra is a rift that is part of the divergent tectonic boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates. Silfra, by virtue of its location in the Þingvallavatn, contains clear, cold water that attracts scuba divers drawn to its high visibility and geological importance; divers are literally swimming between continents. The rift claims a shallow depth nearest to the bank, but deepens and widens further out. The rift offers amazing visibility and has been placed on the top 3 diving destinations list by multiple publications. The visibility reaches end-of-sight and is rated at 150 to 300 meters. The water is 50 to 100 years old once it reaches the lake from the melting glacier through the lava field, and is drinkable.

Qinghai lies in the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau, which formed due to the ongoing collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate. The main deformation in this area is crustal shortening, but there is also a component of left lateral strike-slip faulting on major west--east trending structures such as the Kunlun and Altyn Tagh fault systems that accommodate southeastward translation of the Tibetan area. The Chinese Government has put into action a 3 year rebuilding plan. The initial reaction has been mixed. The worry comes from the local populace that the traditions and architecture of the tibetan culture will be lost or painted over in the name of modernization, in this rebuild of the "New Yushu"

Iran - East Azerbaijan - August 2012 Earthquake about 500 died ====== The August 11, 2012 M 6.4 and M 6.3 earthquakes in northwestern Iran occurred as a result of oblique strike-slip faulting in the shallow crust of the Eurasia plate, approximately 300 km east of the plate boundary between the Eurasia and Arabia plates. The two earthquakes are separated by just 10 km in an east-west direction. Focal mechanisms, describing the style of faulting for the earthquakes, suggest slip on either fault planes striking roughly east-west, or those striking roughly north-south. Because these earthquakes are intraplate events, away from the main plate boundary structures in the region, precise identification of the causative fault(s) is difficult at this time, though their offset suggest they may be associated with an east-west striking structure. On a broad scale, the seismotectonics of this region are controlled by the collision of the Arabia and Eurasia plates; at the latitude of the earthquakes, the Arabia plate moves almost due north with respect to the Eurasia plate at a rate of approximately 26 mm/yr. The collision between these plates deforms an area of ~ 3000000 km2 of continental crust.To the south of today's earthquakes, towards Iraq and the Persian Gulf, tectonics are dominated by the Zagros fold and thrust belt. To the west, in Turkey, tectonics are dominated by strike-slip faulting on the East (in southern Turkey) and North (in northern Turkey) Anatolian fault zones ...

www.youtube.com The earthquake was unusually large in geographical extent. An estimated 1600 km (994 mi) of faultline slipped about 15 m (50 ft) along the subduction zone where the India Plate slides under the Burma Plate. The slip did not happen instantaneously but took place in two phases over a period of several minutes. Seismographic and acoustic data indicate that the first phase involved a rupture about 400 km (250 mi) long and 100 km (60 mi) wide, located 30 km (19 mi) beneath the sea bed—the longest rupture ever known to have been caused by an earthquake. The rupture proceeded at a speed of about 2.8 km/s (1.7 mi/s) or 10000 km/h (6300 mph), beginning off the coast of Aceh and proceeding north-westerly over a period of about 100 seconds. A pause of about another 100 seconds took place before the rupture continued northwards towards the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. However, the northern rupture occurred more slowly than in the south, at about 2.1 km/s (1.3 mi/s) or 7600 km/h (4700 mph), continuing north for another five minutes to a plate boundary where the fault changes from subduction to strike-slip (the two plates push past one another in opposite directions). This reduced the speed of the water displacement and so reducing the size of the tsunami that hit the northern part of the Indian Ocean.[9] The India Plate is part of the great Indo-Australian Plate, which underlies the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal, and is drifting north-east at an average of 6 cm/year ...
