Why Earthquakes in the East are so much more Dangerous 

you make banger videos

Semangat, waiting your next videos

Take as long as you need, can't rush art my friend! I think I speak for us all when I say that a longer wait is more than worth it for such high quality content. Splitting it into a two parter makes sense, I'm curious though, will there be an extended cut uploaded after they're both done? Or will they just be paired in a playlist or such? Keep up the great work, this and your last channel very quickly became some of my favourites on the entire site :)

Thank you! you're very underrated!

Finally you're back. My most fave video is regarding Mt Baekdu in South Korea.

Agreed 👍🏼

I hear ya. Discovery use to be a great place to learn. Now all you see is people trying to get rich by gold or booze.

But they have an explanation for these earthquakes. Aliens - insert meme here I miss old discovery channel

There is no way you made that comment on your own. Aliens helped you.

Educating people? Pfft, no. Let's fill everyone's brains with reality show BS, just to make us all dumber.

I agree

Don't expect more of that considering the way RU-vid is going. I hate to say it but I believe the future of educational content will move to other platforms soon. Educational content can't succeed on a platform where there is no means of public criticism (ie. dislike button)

That will never happen. Google is a business. They stream line making money as the first priority. The average person will not click or sit through quality content over click bait dog ass.

@@linuxguy1199 Nonsense. Educational content is thriving right now. Also, there is a massive means of public criticism, it's called a Comments Section. When it comes to topics like history, science, and the like, a "dislike button" does not show you whether or not the topic is correct, it tells you if the topic and how it is being discussed is popular or unpopular. And not to steal a quote from a whiney manchild like Ben Shapiro, but facts don't care about your feelings. If you disagree with something said in an educational video, write a comment. Make a response video. Write a blog post. Make a Twitter thread. Those are ways to provide constructive criticism. All a dislike button does is have you say "I no liek!". And that, without context, is worth than useless. That said, I like the dislike button, and have added an extension so I can still see dislikes. It helps with knowing whether a video is a scam or not. But it is useless when it comes to evidence-based topics like this.

@@piercepluenneke7438 But it is happening, right now. Channels like Our World, SciShow, and Your Dinosaurs are wrong get hundreds of thousands of views per video. PBS Eons, SEA, History of the Earth, and History Time get millions of views on their videos. Yeah, some people watch mindless videos. Some people watch documentaries. SOme people watch videos discussing history and science. Some people watch art channels. Most people watch various different things. It's OK to not watch educational content all the time. The audience is here.

Nope

@@rzn2258 okay 😀

I live in a high rise apartment building in Philadelphia and it shook like it was on rubber bands. It wasn't scary to me, but it was a strange feeling. 😮

I live in New Jersey about 5 miles from the epicenter. My apartment shook like Jello. We’ve been experiencing aftershocks since.

It's a lot of work editing a video like this. Perhaps they just have other things they'd rather do. Content creator isn't the worst job in the world, but a skilled person can aim a lot higher than that.

He's a very intelligent young American. Few in earlier generations spoke to efficiently with crystal clear accuracy like that and when we did, it just flew over everyone's head for as as kid, they all told me to slow down when I was explaining something in detail or rattling off a ton of academic nonsense. However, he's really good at public speaking and keeping a clear line of thought. The level of knowledge today is truly astounding and it takes only a minute to find information and learn something that used to take many hours in a library.

And the dramatic reading of the extraordinary eyewitness accounts!

I was stationed in turkey during those quakes. Terrifying the ground groans like wood in a house

@@crazychase98 Ooh! That gives me goose bumps!

Hope you have a good Turkiye Day.

Agree.

We had a 4.5 just south of Watts Bar Dam a couple of years ago. I live 5 miles from the epicenter and I was laying in bed watching TV. I heard what I thought was a thunderstorm, then my bed felt like an air mattress floating on the lake. It was scary. Plus, the epicenter was about a mile from Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. That's scary, too. So they can happen around here, too!

There was a 4.0 that happened in southeast Missouri like a week ago, and EVERYONE felt that one, including myself in northeast Arkansas. I had heard reports that it was felt by some people several states away.

I lived in Chattanooga years ago and was almost at moccasin bend when a small one hit.

Because American typically, don't really have much general knowledge

@@zacharysmith4787 I live in Searcy and no one that I have talked to felt it. Someone I know from northern AR said they felt it though. The dog noticed it first. Then they felt it.

I would imagine those trees were thrown by massive sand blows. Geologists figured that the ground shaking to the southwest got as far as the Ark-La-Tex where cypress trees lining the Red River fell into the water and got stuck together creating massive river rafts near Alexandria and Shreveport. The rafts became covered with sediment and vegetation so settlers used them as bridges for their wagons. The geologists also believe that Caddo Lake was created by the NM quakes.

Spoiler alert: Really fucking scary shit is going on down there :D

I thought first, too, that the testimony they read out loud must have had been exaggerated, by either the original source or through "editorial liberties", shall we say - the latter was very common in newspapers of the era, after all. However, when they then went on to explain the sheer size of the sandblows, in particular when compared to more "normal" sandblows, I realised it might just have been more legit than I gave it credit for. Truly terrifying forces at play, there.

Eyewitness in 1811: "Whilst the trees rushed from the forest, precipitating itself into the water with force sufficient enough to have dashed us into a thousand atoms." Eyewitness in 2023: "Da ground waz all like, tisk, i dunno, fookin' all like shakey n' shyte?!? And I be lyke, Daayymn!, Foool! Da phuuuck yo???"

Greetings from Medicine Park.

What struck me in the first and second accounts was the amount of erupting material coming up out from underground, sending jets of material and even trees high into the sky. This seems like volcanic activity. The narrator skipped over quite a bit of the discussion of giant trees being uprooted and sent flying and of burning trees being sent sky-high and coal erupting out of the ground while giant caverns form. It made me think of plasma cosmology or electric universe theory regarding geology. A charge differential underground connecting to ions in the upper atmosphere.

Today,whats more SCARY,...is that there are all those NUCULAR POWER PLANT'S all along the MISSISSIPPI,etc..all the way to the OCEAN..!

@@Nphen oooookay. except for the geological and physics explanation for this--for which there was ample evidence provided and still visible today--of the soil liquifaction / blowouts. The aerial views of these blowouts and sand that spilled out, the visible craters. The archaeological evidence of similar craters in other cities... Probably the ground imaging radar evidence of the vents that led to these explosions. There is plenty we do not know, but going to the LEAST probable theories in the face of existing evidence that seems to be fairly well corroborated by empirical evidence does not make sense. If this was a massive electrical / ionosphere plasma event, there would also have been stupendously noticable and constant aurorae for the duration of weeks or months, along with the tremors.

@@gravityhypernova Wow you are wicked smart , not being a smart ass , I mean it ! So is Nathan ! Interesting conversation .

Yes he's good. New Zealand speaking; magnitude 6.5 is just a little quake.

@@terracotta6294h;bb

Why?

Hey Grandpa!

I understand that sentiment for sure. Born in CA myself and relocated to about 75 miles away from New Mardrid MO. I had no idea at the time we moved here. They have been predicting another huge quake in this area for the last 30-35 years that I’m aware of. We get quakes occasionally, just had two small ones about two weeks ago.

Well hello neighbor, I'm in Central Virginia too in Orange County 🙂

@@peternorton5648 I was stationed at Eaker AFB near Blytheville Arkansas in 1990 when they predicted the BIG ONE was going to hit. I was Security Police, and was guarding Nuclear Alert B-52s at the time. Imagine the international horror of a country loosing several hundred Nuclear weapons in an earthquake.

@@earlwyss520 I couldn’t even imagine the cluster of that magnitude were that to actually happen. I go down past the old airbase occasionally it’s now a commercial air freight operation but it all sat empty for many years before that. It kinda made me sad to see.

I was glad to see this coverage as someone who has been nervous about the Cascadia Subduction zone for a few years. I guess even if it spits out a 8.5+ Richter quake it wouldn't compare to this long distance, sinking, explosion, etc. stuff.

The greatest damage in the Loma Prieta quake in 1989 (the World Series quake, which I felt in sacramento, 120+ miles away, was in the landfill areas of SF, especially in the Marina district. We visited months later and many cracks were noted in sidwalks and buildings. The San Andreas is overdue for a big one. The 1916 quaked displaced the earth by 16 feet in the Point Reyes area. There is an 'Earthquake Trail' in the National Seashore which shows it. Fascinating.

@@coopergates9680 You need to be concerned about Mt. Rainier.

Most of the sand is gone. Its the fissures that are more worrisome if it were to happen again.

@@coopergates9680 same, but i personally dont believe in it anymore. its all fake news lol. i havnt felt a single earthquake since the one in like 2000

I know. Maybe.I am prerty sure. there is a extinct volcano in the gulf... Bad news I hear though.. Since we were drilling in gulf.. We leaked all oil from the fault.. it is a whole bigger now.. Very good chance we could split in half So. To No. Remember the huge cavern that the nice beautiful cars fell into.. that also happens to Be on top of the fault.. It also goes from Louisana to the North up to almost the end of No ..USA I followed as I believe the mid west experiences low quakes since the drilling in the gulf. They will only increase now.. Atleast thats the existing pattern. They say Fracking is ok, however.. It is my personal opinion..if the earthquakes are occuring as a result of what your doing.. its not a good sign. Maybe we should think twice. Just sayin.. Then there is the never ending sinkhole..thats been swalling Land for years.. people were paid by US gov.. To leave.. now Not accessable. They will drill as long as they can make money. We will continue to make war because that is how the rich get richer.. we were warned.. You know who makes the most $ in markets that's Been kickin since the 60's? All the elites know.. they all invest with this company... they don't want us to know because we wouldn't like it. .. its very dark.. When they frack..it creates Tiny cracks.. which only spread as time goes on. GSPS MONITERS, and actually lables quakes because of fracking Vs normal quakes by a faultline.

Ya, I was in Hawks Prarie less than a mile from the epicenter of the Nisqually quake. Scariest moments of my life, but will soon be dwarfed by the upcoming Cascadia Subduction zone rupture. Magnitude 9+ Hard to imagine over three thousand times bigger than our 6.8. Stay safe an God bless 🙏😇♥️

I was an inmate in Greenville Ms in 2011 and did emergency flood control work with the corps of engineers and the state of Ms on sandblows that were forming behind the levees on the Ms river when a lot of floodwater from thawing ice and snow from further north came down the river then. Seeing a phenomenon like that live was a once in a lifetime event.

I live pretty close to Jonesboro in Craighead Co. If the New Madrid decides to go again, that whole town will be destroyed. Same with Memphis.

@@zacharysmith4787 I used to live in Arkansas, in Jonesboro, and Rector, (my sisters still live in Arkansas) I now live in NC, and the New Madrid scares me greatly. I choose to subscribe to the theory that if the New Madrid ever goes BIG, Lake Michigan will drain into the Mississippi Bay. Which, regrettably, means everything along the Mississippi River Valley between the southern tip of Lake Michigan, and the Gulf of Mexico would be under water. I've been to Ephesus Turkey and seen what could happen to a city during an earthquake, but fear the worst.

@@earlwyss520 It looks like one of the embayment edges ends where the hills start near Pocahontas. So if your sisters ever need to evacuate, it sounds like they need to head towards Pocahontas and head northeast.

@@earlwyss520 The good news is the energy needed to open up that much rock would only be generated by the Earth crashing into another heavenly body. No amount of Earthquakes will cause this. As shown in the videos, part of the reason the New Madrid quakes can be felt so far away is because of the cold dense bedrock which is just going to ring like a bell versus rupture and crack. The Great lakes are above some of the deepest and thickest parts of the North American plate, with some of the northern parts in the Canadian shield being exposed to the surface nearly the same amount of time as Earth has existed.

I was going to say that lol

He said it perfect

There’s also a town in IL close to southeast missouri called Cairo - it’s pronounced “Kay-row”

@@adley.j I'm from East Prairie MO and you are right not Ki row but Kay row..lol im about 20 miles from cairo and 15 miles from new Madrid lived here all my life

I’m from Lilbourn, which is just a few miles West of New Madrid, and he pronounced it perfectly. It’s the only reason I came to the comments, lol

I was in my grandmas appt in Michigan, and she lived in the top floor of the appt so it was bizarre when I learned what happened. It’s only a matter of time until an actual substantial earthquake happens somewhere in the Midwest

That’s so cool , I’m glad your childhood self got their question answered lol.

Can you check records in 2011 for seismological activity in Ohio? Even if it was a small earthquake, it was no doubt picked up by someone and recorded if it truly did happen.

I grew up in New England and we were taught about a dead fault called Minute Man Fault Line, but Ive never been able to find a source on it when I try to look it up

@@razrv3lc Good idea. My dear aunt in northeast Ohio said they were aware of several small earthquakes (4.2 +/-) when I asked her about the earthquakes I had read about on the news as a result of fracking. She said they noticed them, but they weren't troubled.

Budum tiss

I was in upstate NY, mowing my lawn on a lawn tractor. Completely missed the whole thing...

@@NotMe6044 nice profile picture. I can see that you're a man of culture as well.

I was also in South Jersey when that happened. Out of all the possible reasons for my house to start shaking, an earthquake was the last thing I could think of. I remember the memes making fun of the East for freaking out over such a "small" earthquake-when California has deals with that magnitude of earthquake on a regular basis. While it was funny in the moment, I later found out just how far the damage reached. The next town over had some historical buildings that were damaged from that earthquake. None of the buildings here were built to withstand earthquakes like that, so it makes sense that it was damaged. But given how far away we were from the epicenter, it was still surprising that damage still happened.

Careful what you wish for lol

Hello I would just like to tell you that I am very irritated by the way your people say Madrid. I understand it is not your fault, but it is your fault if you say it that way

@@bencollier4254 Who are my people? I didn't know I had those. But glad to see you Spanish conquistadors are still in the enslaving business. Very promising.

@@bencollier4254 Just because we use the name of Madrid does not mean we have to use the same pronunciation of it. Many names changed slightly in pronunciation going from one country to another. It does not mean they are wrong, just different. Also, "our people" are Americans and we can say it how we darn like.

@@bencollier4254 just to be clear, we say it like you do when we are referring to the city in Spain. Also, it's not like it's a Spanish colony anymore. You should hear the way some old southerners say, "Italian"or "Cairo". You would be appalled. Language is alive and it grows and changes. Please do not take offense.

I just commented the same thing! I was born and raised in Martin, and we'd always take field trips out there. As an adult, I still go there all the time for the fishing and restaurants and even to visit the animals for the millionth time. You'd think everyone would know about an earthquake that is strong enough to create a permanent lake, but outside of our region, nobody's heard of them. It's wild.

I live in Martin right now and everyone knows this stuff and the earthquake room at the discovery park is something that we do when we go at our yearly trip 15 minutes over but it’s so cool to think that something sooo big happened in the tiny area we live in

Yip, and that's when the Gulf of Mexico from New Orleans to south Texas looked like the Bahamas. All the brown silt and crap you see in Galveston is straight swill from every state that sits on the Mississippi starting in Minnesota...fertilizers, garbage, pee, all of it...goes south. They need to clean their crap before they dump it in the river to go south.

I sctually live in that area, town of Paragould

Thank you for referencing this... I looked up some topographical maps of the Crowley Ridge, which plainly display this ridge's island-like rise above the surrounding, flat embayment surface! Very dramatic!!

The town of New Madrid on hwy 55 has a rest stop there that is very interesting,, shows alot about the earthquake ..if you get a chance stop by there..

and see the fault lines.............

the nature center in jonesboro has a presentation on it (or did haven't been to it in the better part of 10 yrs)

The phenomena you describe is actually very real, and did in one instance of catastrophe kill over 1700 people. It was a deep lake, somewhere in Africa I believe, where gasses - in particular, CO2 - had accumulated at the bottom, but due to the high water pressure, was kept in solution in the depths. Something, they're not quite sure what exactly, disturbed it. (Could be an earthquake, a landslide, plenty of things.) The lower waters were mixed up into the upper layers, resulting in the pressure decreasing rapidly, and immense amounts of non-breathable gas came out of solution and rose to the surface. To make matters worse, CO2 is actually heavier than air, meaning that concentrations of it will cling to the surface for some time before dispersing. So the gas erupted from the lake, and came creeping like an invisible cloud of death beyond the banks, and into the villages beyond. People and animals alike were just asphyxiated where they stood, leaving a scene of bodies and carcasses having seemingly just dropped dead everywhere. Edit: Joe Scott made a great video about this (here on RU-vid), titled "... And Then 1700 People Died." Can recommend.

Bro: Stop shaking the house, dude! Me: HOW THE F@CK CAN I SHAKE A HOUSE!?

I remember when an Earthquake hit Kentucky. It was several years ago, but we felt it up here in Southern Ohio. I was in a bank at the time lol. That was the last Earthquake around here i believe.

That was August 23rd, 2011, my 60th Birthday, I am in PA

I remember that earthquake. We felt that all the way up in Harford County Maryland. I know Washington DC got hit pretty good.

That would be the more modern chemistry view on the atom. The idea that matter was comprised of tiny indivisible parts has been around since the ancient Greeks in the 5th century BCE.

The word atom before atomic theory just meant tiny bits. That's why the atom was called the atom, it was tiny bits.

I wonder how much was artistic license on the part of the reporter and how much was the words of the sailor. Papers tended to have quite flowery language in that era.

I was in school in NC and the teacher tried to say the earthquake was just from the construction going on nearby. The shaking lasted way too long to be due to any large construction equipment and with no noise from some horrible accident it was clear that it was an earthquake. I heard about the VA earthquake later that day on the news which confirmed it. Super weird to experience and for a science teacher to not even recognize it as an earthquake lol

Yeah, the earth throwing an unexpected tantrum does sound like it would be dangerous

I remember the large quake in Japan a few years ago. It came from the ocean on their sea facing area, but much damage occurred as well as many deaths. The most worry is that it was off the coast that was a location of a plant that caused damage.

If you look at the fault structure in the Himalayas it actually still looks quite like a subduction zone albeit one where both plates are continental so the plate sliding below is still more buoyant than the mantle below just resulting in a pileup of continental crust. Thus many of the fault systems in the Himalayas are in effect a variation on a megathrust fault and so naturally are quite devastating not unlike their marine cousins. On the bright side at least they don't produce Tsunamis though the landslides and dam bursts are extremely dangerous too and can appear suddenly with little warning. Especially when much of the crust is quite "gooey" under all that heat and pressure.

@@Dragrath1 There are even a couple very odd volcanoes up on the Tibetan plateau
