Another Earthquake In Japan

A 7.0 earthquake.

Is 7.0 big?

Well last years was an 8.9 tremor.

Fucking hell, man... if I believed in God I'd be sure he's pissed at Japan.

People have the cheek to say "Pray for Japan"

Or this truly is the beginning of the end.

Nah.

They said it was nothing to worry about.

All good.

This is just the beginning of this...

Gonna sit in my room on that day and pray then wank all day.

7.0 is nearly 100 times less powerful than 8.9 by the way.

Still quite a big earthquake

My earthquake machine is working, good good.

Oh well. Nothing too shocking. There will be hundreds more in Japan this year, some with a much lower magnitude, some with a similar one, and some may even be higher. That's what they get for being on a plate boundary. I don't understand why people seem shocked when Earthquakes happen all the time in the same places. It's natural.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

Depends.

Richter Magnitude scale measures how much energy is released in an earthquake. Not how powerful the earthquake is.

A shallow 7.0 earthquake can reek huge amounts of damage (like in Haiti) while a more powerful but much deeper 8.6 earthquake could leave (for example, Chile of the same year) an area relatively unaffected. The area the earthquake affects also is a huge factor on how damaging it is, as the earthquake's waves can be spread over large amount of land (ie Chile) and thus less intense or in only a rather small area for mass devastation(Haiti).

nvm

hmmm well there a earthquakes pretty much all day everyday in Christchurch ATM

there was 9 today aye?

prob more between 20-40
