I don’t see how this could of happened. The dam was far away from the center of the earthquake and I doubt that the dam caused it, but I guess you never know.

Someone wrote this info on my blog the other day, and I wrote something obscene about them, because I was too stupid to realize what science has been saying.

I am really stupid and mean, but mostly stupid.

I can see now that Brenda Preece was right about the earthquakes perhaps being caused by damming of water. I owe Brenda Preece an apology and I would like to do that now.
She was right, and I was wrong.

I am so used to calling people names when I really don’t know the real answer.
I only have a high school education, but I guess that is my fault

I hate everyone. On my blog Spatula City I trash everyone, because I know I am better than all of you.
I hate all of you people, I dare you to write anything on my blog, that I don’t like.

I block IP addresses so I can always be right in my small little world.

I am an ass, but that is who I am.
People hate me because I hate them.

Could all that water, under pressure, lubricate the fault and trigger a release?

I strongl believe that the chineese goverment is dealing with the land mines efficantly. The citizens who step on them are just stupid.

i think the chinese governement is dealing with this the same way as with the land mines. He figures eventualy all the earthquakes will happen, then it’s over. with the landmines, he figures eentualy random citizens would step on them all over time. Pethetic

In fact, the distance between the reservoir and the fault line is very interesting.
Anyone who has a little knowledge about levers knows that one can use a little weight on a long arm to lift a large load on a short arm. If the dam happens to be sitting on the long side of a focus, it can really tilt a big slab of rocks on the short end of the focus. The water behind the Three-Gorge dam may cause an earthquake hundreds of miles from it, depending on where the focus is.

Jon– scientists do say that if the dam was a trigger, it would have simply brought on a quake that would have happened eventually anyway. But I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the idea all together. The dam was about one-third of a mile from the fault line.

The New York Times just came out with a good article about this. It mentions “a 1967 earthquake triggered by the Koyna Dam in a remote area of India, with a magnitude of about 6.5 and a death toll of about 180 people.”

The possibility of such an unintended (and devastating) consequence needs further investigation. But with the present climate of censorship in China, it’ll be more potential dirt swept under the rug of cover-up.

Absurd. Not only is the dam three miles away, the epicenter was 12 miles deep below the surface, in solid granite. That makes the Zipingpu dam the equivalent of a mud puddle. If that splash of water triggered an earthquake in that much rock, then the quake was going to happen any way.
