Witness 1.8 Billion Years of Earth’s Tectonic Dance in a New Animation

ByAlan CollinsOctober 8, 2024
Scientists have created an animation of Earth's tectonic plates stretching back 1.8 billion years

Using information from inside the rocks on Earth’s surface, my colleagues and I have reconstructed the plate tectonics of the planet over the last 1.8 billion years.

It is the first time Earth’s geological record has been used like this, looking so far back in time. This has enabled us to make an attempt at mapping the planet over the last 40 percent of its history, which you can see in the animation below.

The work, led by Xianzhi Cao from the Ocean University in China, was recently published in the open-access journal Geoscience Frontiers.

An article in today's newspaper...

A magnitude-3.8 earthquake struck
at 9:08 a.m. about 8 miles northeast of Borrego Springs and 20.9 miles
south of La Quinta, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

A small rattle was felt in the Coachella Valley, including in Indio on Day 2 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival.

There were no immediate reports of damage.

I didn't even feel it.

Now, with this ~ M4  aftershock the aftershock forecast has changed over the next week. You now have a 16% chance of an M4 ( but less than 1-2 % chance of an M5) and a 76% chance of an M3-3.9. So, you’ll likely feel another shake but they SHOULD all be lower than the M4.8 main shock.
There’s a lot of science regarding aftershocks, they decay almost exponentially in most earthquakes, so, for this size earthquake they should be done within a week. Larger earthquakes have longer aftershock periods. M7+ earthquakes can have aftershocks for months. I’ve been in some large earthquakes and have been studying some very large ones right after they occur. The aftershocks for those can be large, M5 -6. Those make me jumpy.

no alerts. just the low rumbles like a big truck was going by.
they're reporting this the biggest quake on record in Philly area. although the one in 2011 (centered in Virginia) shook us a lot more. I saw the frickin' wall  and floor waving. 


I was at work when that one hit. In a mobile trailer type thingy, and was standing in the hall outside my office talking to a co-worker when I notice my snake plant swaying. I said: "I think that was an earthquake." He hadn't even noticed. When I got home (closer to the epicenter than work), Middy (remember Middy?) was beside herself. As if to say: "I didn't do it, Mom!" Nothing off the walls, but all the pictures were askew and some things were knocked over.
