Mt St Helens Quakes
Posted by Byron on August 19, 2005 at 12:41:48:

A while back I loaded the program "GoogleEarth.exe" and started playing around with it. It only works in Windows.
In the menu on the left side I checked the earthquakes layer.
Then I zoomed in on Mt St Helens. As you zoom in, red dots representing quakes start showing up. When you zoom in approaching 30,000' "eye altitude" a pattern starts showing up. At about 20,000' "eye altitude" a lot of the red quake dots start lining up in horizontal rows! And the quakes are not in sequence along each line.

I tend to suspect a flaw in the method Google enters each quakes info in the maps database. Maybe the flaw is in the program it`s self.

Comments? Opinions?
