Long will they last? I spoke to a government expert
who studies this.
You'll get lots of aftershocks and they can continue for
months to years,
depending on how big the earthquake was.
And so, you know, we've,
we've seen a lot of aftershocks.
And so there are like on the order of 100
instruments in the area continuing to measure the aftershocks.
And then we're going to use that data to locate
earthquakes and to better image the fault and some of
the other structures in the area and,
and learn more about, you know,
where the earthquake occurred and.
You know how likely future earthquakes might be.
We got more to come.
So I said why do we get this earthquake?
He said a couple reasons.
One of them is this,
see Solon going on in the East Coast.
New England's actually rising up and we're falling down at
New England's expense.
That kind of up and down that seesaw.
That's part of the reason why we have the potential
for that earthquake.
Secondly, this is Iceland and Europe is literally going that
way and North America is coming that way.
That adds some pressure to cause some earthquake.
So that's part of the reason why we had an
earthquake in this area and the reason we had a
crack in the rocks here.
It's from one mountains form.
