A massive area has moved over the past 24 hours (Nov. 1-2, 2015).
Seismically speaking, the whole Western portion of the North American Craton (plate) has moved on at least a M4.0 level.
This graphic below shows the past 24 hours of M4.0 and greater earthquakes across North America. Clearly the entire Western edge of the plate (craton) has moved.
________
This newest plate wide movement event is more proof of a controversial geologic theory that I have proposed over the past 4 years — the theory says that currently, earthquakes are progressing across entire regions over short periods of time, and moving in the OPPOSITE direction than the plates are supposedly moving.
This Oklahoma earthquake now makes FOUR different M4.0+ events, which struck over a time period of less than 24 hours across a region spanning several thousand miles from NW California, Southward to Arizona, and East to Oklahoma.
The locations which moved quite literally define the Western “edge” of the North American Craton. We were expecting to see new larger noteworthy movement along the West coast, as was mentioned in the most recent earthquake forecast video.
_____
What does this current M4.0+ activity mean? It means pressure is building to the Pacific Northwest, and in far Southern California / Baja Mexico.
See the forecast video (issued Oct 31 – Nov 1) which called for this flurry of Western craton movement to occur here, and what to watch for this week:
