[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not talk about the ones in Italy and Myanmar?  I don't recall seeing two 6 plus earthquakes in separate parts of the world on the same day. [/quote]

Because the author of this thread is a troll and doesn't know any technical info.[/quote]

The author of this thread addressed this question earlier. Not sure where you get the idea that she doesn't know what she's talking about. If I asked a lawyer questions about their job, do you think they'd spit out Blue Book cites?[/quote]

The OP hasn't posted anything that shows superior knowledge on this subject. Every answer to very specific questions has been vague and very easy to find info from news reports. If I was a lawyer I could post about the laws at a level higher than the average person. OP is not doing that and hasn't addressed much. [/quote]

I am trying to answer the questions at a level so that the average person can understand.  I could talk about focal mechanisms, moment tensors, finite fault inversions, radiated energies, geophysical inversion, but that will not help in the understanding of the field.  I thought this would be fun to do on the 5th anniversary of the Lousia Earthquake.  I had no idea the Italy or Burma quakes would happen.  Oh, and yes, you can find most of the information on line.  As a discipline, seismology is extremely good at sharing data and reports.  We understand the fear of earthquakes.  We try to educate the public.

For example, you can get data from many seismic stations globally through an NSF funded university consortium, IRIS ([url]http://www.iris.edu[/url]).  The data is as recent as 10 seconds old.
