More than 70,000 killed of missing and five million homeless in China due to a 7.9 earthquake. Cyclones and volcanoes in the news every week: some minor like Etna in Sicily and some major like Nargis in Burma. Common stuff or a run-up to some wild 2012 cosmic calamaties? Only time will tell.
Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth. The field also includes studies of earthquake effects, such as tsunamis as well as diverse seismic sources such as volcanic, tectonic, oceanic, atmospheric, and artificial processes. A related field that uses geology to infer information regarding past earthquakes is paleoseismology. A recording of earth motion as a function of time is called a seismogram. Now you know!
Earthquakes produce different types of seismic waves which travel through rock, and provide an effective way to image both sources and structures deep within the Earth. There are three basic types of seismic waves in solids: P-waves, S-waves (both body waves) and surface waves. But so much for the technical stuff.
There are literally dozens upon dozens of theories that researches and historians have put together to explain what they think the 2012 paradigm is all about including: comets, rogue planets, asteroids, galactic core explosions, mega-sun spot cycles, unique harmonics, unusual conjunctions, inverted field reversals, and so on. But it is the work of Alexey Dmitriev, a Russian geologist, who has put together increasing changes in the earth"s weather and seismic sensations that"s raising many eyebrows.
Because of it"s merit. :-)
Here"s his bottom line in his words, "A ten-fold increase in the layer of deflected interstellar plasma on the heliosphere boundary indiccates that the solar system is headed into an area of magnetized plasma that"s affecting our planet big time. Not global arming, but magnetized plasma! And you thought the pertubration theory was big! :-)
It"s not something that Al Gore is talking about, but a fact that scientists know- there"s an increasing incidence of plasma balls in the atmosphere which is interacting with the earth and bringing major transformational events to our little planet.
Sound way out there? It used to be, but it"s coming closer and closer to home. Can you say 2012 black hole? :-)
