hey, I saw you mention at one point you had a cat named Nimitz! may I ask what inspired this name? (speaking as someone who used to have a bunny named Nimitz)

Ah, the Terror of the Underbrush, may she walk in quiet darkness. She and her adopted sisters were all named after admirals-- we had Halsey and Yamamoto-- but Nim was also a nod to Honor Harrington, which I was reading when she showed up when I was twelve. Appropriately, she turned out to be a shoulder cat.

I love Malice and Vice, and I loved Hazy and Yama, and Kitten Little before them, but I'll never have a cat better than the Terror.

He relates what happened then:

After my eyes became accustomed to the darkness I noticed that the spot seemed quite unsteady. Clearly this was more that what could be due to the continuous trembling of the earth, to the 'microseisms' that are caused by the pounding of the ocean waves on the shores of the Continent. It was due to the movements of my own eyes which in the darkness were not steadied by the surrounding picture of solid objects. Soon the luminous point gave me the feeling of being aboard a gently and irregularly moving vessel, so I braced a pencil on a piece of the apparatus and held it close to the luminous point. Now the point seemed steady and I felt as if I had come back to solid ground again. This was about the time of the actual shot. Nothing happened or could have happened. About a quarter of an hour was required for the shock to travel, deep under the Pacific basin, to the Californian coast. I waited with little patience, the seismograph making at each minute a clearly visible vibration which served as a time signal. At last the time signal came that had to be followed by the shock from the explosion and there it seemed to be: the luminous point appeared to dance wildly and irregularly. Was it only that the pencil which I held as a marker trembled in my hand? I waited for many more minutes to be sure that the record did not miss any of the shocks that might follow the first. Then finally the film was taken off and developed. By that time I had almost convinced myself that I must have been mistaken and that what I saw was the motion of my own hand rather than the signal from the first hydrogen bomb. Then the trace appeared on the photographic plate. It was clear and big and unmistakable. It had been made by the wave of compression that had traveled for thousands of miles and brought the positive assurance that Mike was a success.

How are earthquakes measured and reported?

Earthquakes are measured and reported using a combination of seismological instruments, scales, and reporting systems. Here’s an overview of how this process works:

1.Seismometers and SeismographsSeismometers: These keen devices track and identify ground motion brought on by seismic waves produced by an earthquake. Both tiny and huge earthquake tremors can be measured by them. Seismographs: These gadgets create seismograms, which show the frequency and amplitude of the seismic waves, by recording the data gathered by seismometers on paper or digital media.

2. Wave TypesPrimary Waves (P-waves): These are the initial and quickest seismic waves. They pass through both liquids and solids. Secondary waves, or S-waves, are waves that only pass through solids and arrive after P-waves. The time of their arrival aids in locating the earthquake. Surface Waves: During an earthquake, these waves typically cause the most damage because they move along the Earth's surface.

3. Magnitude RankingsRichter Scale: Developed in the 1930s, this scale gauges the size of an earthquake by measuring the amplitude of seismic waves. Because it is logarithmic, a tenfold increase in wave amplitude is represented by each whole number increment. Moment Magnitude Scale (Mw): This is the most commonly used scale today, providing a more accurate measure of an earthquake's size by considering the fault area, slip, and the rigidity of rocks. Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale: This scale measures the intensity of shaking and damage caused by an earthquake, using observations from people and structural damage rather than seismic data.

4. Choosing a LocationTriangulation: Information from at least three seismograph stations is utilized to determine the epicenter of an earthquake, which is the location directly above the focus. Each station's distance from the epicenter is found by measuring the interval between the arrival times of P- and S-waves. The position of the epicenter can be found by triangulating these distances.

5. Systems of ReportingSeismological Networks: Companies such as the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and other international networks keep a close eye on seismic activity and offer data and analysis in real time. Public Alerts: Websites, social media, and alarm systems are just a few of the ways that the general public is informed about earthquakes. In populous regions, early warning systems can send out signals seconds before the ground starts to shake.

6. Data Analysis and ResearchAftershock Monitoring: Following a significant earthquake, seismologists monitor aftershocks, which can be numerous and vary in magnitude. study Studies: In order to better understand seismic activity, develop building codes, and increase earthquake preparedness, data from earthquakes is used in continuing study.

7. Global CollaborationInternational Networks: To exchange data and enhance earthquake monitoring worldwide, nations work together via networks such as the Global Seismographic Network (GSN).established Reporting: To guarantee uniformity in the measurement, reporting, and interpretation of earthquakes worldwide, organizations adhere to established procedures.

Conclusion

Through a combination of advanced technology, established scales, and collaborative efforts, earthquakes are accurately measured and reported, helping to enhance public safety and understanding of seismic activity.

A Measure Of Things – Part Fourteen

The #Richter scale and how #earthquakes are measured #Science #geology

When an earthquake strikes, it is assigned a rating on the Richter scale. The recent Sea of Japan earthquake was assigned a rating of 7.6, but what does this mean and how much more powerful is an earthquake with a rating beginning with a 7 than one with a six? The Richter scale was devised by Charles Richter and Otto Gutenberg in 1935, after the duo collaborated to produce a standardised scale…
