That earthquake in Turkey…
Feb 8^th, 2023 at 11:31am

Watching people/kids being pulled out alive from rubble.
There was a newborn baby pulled out alive, having to cut the umbilical cord from the deceased mother!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of such a miraculous rescue as that baby.
It’s so hard to watch how many buildings collapsed and people still trapped alive.
Praise and thanks to the rescue workers and their efforts.
Australia donated $20 million I think it was… it should help with equipment needed and shelter.

Oops… typo… I fixed it.

That baby was born in that rubble… umbilical cord still attached…

That’s what I thought for eons… was told that water was put in place of extracted oil… but water isn’t as lubricant as oil. Undecided

The oil has been sitting there for millions of years, barely being touched by humans until they found a use for it. The oil is not lubricating tectonic plates making them move about more smoothly.

Whenever there is a volcanic explosion, it is usually preempted by an earthquake in the region. Tectonic plates make variating movements in response causing more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The oil is sitting well above the mantle and below the Earth's surface. If an eruption of lava mixed with the oil, my guess would be that the oil would be volatile in that it would boil and evaporate.

There is not enough oil in the world that could do anything close to floating a continent about on its tectonic plates. It is molten rock that does that.

My Geology teacher at Sydney Uni predicted earthquakes in Turkey would be devastating this was over 20 years ago.

Older buildings not designed for quakes fall down pretty quick. Lots of buildings down the death toll will be massive.

Predicting when earthquakes or volcanic eruptions happen is still beyond us.

Yes Baron but one thing is for certain....If you live near the edge of a Tectonic Plate you are going to have an earthquake or eruption sooner or later???

The Earth has three major earthquake zones. The first large area known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. The second major earthquake zone is along the mid-ocean ridges. The third major earthquake zone is the Eurasian-Melanesian mountain belt.

That's like a prediction the sun will rise tomorrow. Any geologist or archaeologist would tell you it's been happening for milenia on milenia.

Powerful earthquakes have been common in Turkey’s history. There were reportedly 33 major earthquakes in the country last century alone.

So far, there have been 18 earthquakes in Turkey since 2000.

Or predict the same catastrophe every year for decades until it happens.

Like the bloke who had predicted a global financial crisis every year since the 90s and jagged it in 2008 - then was hailed as a prophet.
