Do earthquake numbers matter?

Continuing on the theme of the supposed “increase” in earthquake activity one of the things I often come across is the nonsense graph that shows earthquakes going up and up since 1970.
This takes the data from the USGS it says. The page referred to is probably this one.
Aside from the fact that the graph is now 10 years out of date, let’s take a look at the figures. Please also bear in mind that, as the site states:
As more and more seismographs are installed in the world, more earthquakes can be and have been located. However, the number of large earthquakes (magnitude 6.0 and greater) have stayed relatively constant.
First World wide figures for 1990 to 1999
Now the earthquakes for the United States
It is relatively easy to see that the USGS statement is correct. It is also relatively easy to see that the US quakes are fairly constant as fewer new seismographs were installed pro-rata than worldwide.
If we take the total of the quakes compared to the total number of 5.0+ we can see that the number of the larger quakes in that time period actually went down.
Basically the Mandeville graph presented is based on bad science and serious logic flaws.
So to the numbers
Let us look at Baja California since 01-01-2010. Since that date there have been 22,247 earthquakes from mag 1 upwards – counting up to a day ago.
For each band of earthquakes I calculated the energy released using the formula
(10^(4.8+(magnitude*1.5)))/10^12
which gives us the gigajoules of energy released.
I have bunched everything under 3.0 into one band.
- 1.0 to 2.99 – 20,766 earthquakes released 2.5611 GJ energy
- 3.0 to 3.99 – 1,316 earthquakes released 11.92 GJ energy
- 4.0 to 4.99 – 153 earthquakes released 40.4201 GJ energy
- 5.0 to 5.99 – 11 earthquakes released 80.3913 GJ energy
- There were no 6.0
- 7.2 – 1 earthquake released 3,981.0717 GJ energy
The ONE 7.2 was 29.42 times more powerful than all the 22,246 quakes put together.
SIZE MATTERS – numbers do not.

Hi, If we look att all earthquakes in the last 50 years and do nthese graphs over it might show a very different picture. As earthquake numbers have been on the rise dramatically for the last few years. Yes in terms of power, size matters.And we cannot just select the earthquakes from a paticular region as it will bias the results. But we need to look at all the earthquakes from around the world to see the bigger picture? The planets in the whole solar system are heating up as is the earth. And extra heating causes more expansion of the earth at all levels. Which is partially responsible for the large uptick in earthquakes and weather related disasters, as well as volcanoes. We cannot just blame the sun as it has been affected as well by some outside unseen force that is little understood by our scientist as of yet. Face it mankind is a child,and is a long way off from understanding the universe and its workings.Its high time for the comman man to wake up and shed the government lies and disinfo. And start to realize the earth is in trouble as is mankind and our childrens future!!
