AI Thread Summary
Recent seismic activity off the central Oregon coast has been notable, with over 600 earthquakes recorded in just ten days, a significant increase for an area not typically known for such activity. Meanwhile, a small earthquake was reported in Ohio near Cincinnati. The conversation also touches on personal experiences with earthquakes in various locations, dismissing apocalyptic predictions for 2012 as mere coincidence. However, there is a caution against posting in older threads, referred to as necroposting, as it may mislead forum members about current events. New discussions are encouraged for ongoing topics.

That's called coincidence Monty lover, and welcome to PF

But careful with posting. You posted in a two year old thread, the specialists here have a technical term for that: necroposting. The problem is that this way the members, browsing the forums, may get the impression that something is going on in Oregon right now :rolleyes:

Please open a new thread if you want to discuss stalking earthquakes :smile:

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
