Re: Earthquake

I have got the map ref - 53.679n 2.404w (from an earthquake report site)
Earthquakes around the British Isles in the last 50 days

In google earth it shows it to be in the middle of moorland south east of Darwen.

It is too far west to be on the shale gas bearing rock.
...do please pay attention (in class)

A 2.2 is so miniscule that it doesnt show on the world earthquake map.

I have noticed that low rate quake clusters do get reported, maybe because they sometimes are a prelude to one bigger.

Our Uk fault lines have a different cause
Ancient fault lines that crisscross crust beneath Britain | World news | The Guardian
"in Britain, earthquakes are driven by the enormous stresses inflicted by the shifting Eurasian plate in the Atlantic Ocean. This "continental drift" squeezes Britain from the north-west, building up stresses in the crust only relieved by slippage at fault lines. Earthquakes are more common in the west of Britain, with north-west Scotland, Wales, and the West Midlands the most active."

4.3 miles under Ossy ? Ossy is bad enough on the surface, so far down really would have been the pits

Re: Earthquake

It was caused by the sound of thousands Rovers fans leaving the Riverside Stand in order to beat the traffic, 27mins before kick off.
