real seismologists dont use the richter scale

real seismologists stand as close to they can to the earthquake epicenter with their ear to the ground and do a spit test to determine intensity

And of course, we will never EVER see or hear from either of these two characters ever again.

:This lady on the news from Caltech just said "when these type of earthquakes happen they most likely cause other earthquakes"... thank you for the heads up..

*The seismologist is called Dr. Lucy Jones!!!

Strange waves rippled around the world, and nobody knows why

Instruments picked up the seismic waves more than 10,000 miles away—but bizarrely, nobody felt them.

The low frequency seismic waves weren’t caused by an earthquake. “A submarine eruption could produce these low rumblings, but evidence for such an event has yet to materialize.” It’s still a mystery!

On the morning of November 11, just before 9:30 UT, a mysterious rumble rolled around the world.

The seismic waves began roughly 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte, a French island sandwiched between Africa and the northern tip of Madagascar. The waves buzzed across Africa, ringing sensors in Zambia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. They traversed vast oceans, humming across Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and even Hawaii nearly 11,000 miles away.

“These waves didn't just zip by; they rang for more than 20 minutes. And yet, it seems, no human felt them.”

“They're too nice; they're too perfect to be nature”, Anthony Lomax, an independent seismology consultant

Only one person noticed the odd signal on the U.S. Geological Survey's real-time seismogram displays. An earthquake enthusiast who uses the handle @matarikipax saw the curious zigzags and posted images of them to Twitter. That small action kicked off another ripple of sorts, as researchers around the world attempted to suss out the source of the waves. Was it a meteor strike? A submarine volcano eruption? An ancient sea monster rising from the deep?

“I don't think I've seen anything like it,” says Göran Ekström, a seismologist at Columbia University who specializes in unusual earthquakes.

However, there was no big earthquake kicking off the recent slow waves. Adding to the weirdness, Mayotte's mystery waves are what scientists call monochromatic. Most earthquakes send out waves with a slew of different frequencies, but Mayotte's signal was a clean zigzag dominated by one type of wave that took a steady 17 seconds to repeat.

So what is actually causing the super-slow vibrations at Mayotte? A submarine eruption could produce these low rumblings, but evidence for such an event has yet to materialize.

“It's like a music instrument,” says Jean-Paul Ampuero, a seismologist at the Université Côte d'Azur in France. “The notes of a music instrument—whether it's grave or very pitchy—depends on the size of the instrument.”

Lucu Jones #seismologist of USGS explains to Press the# details about M6.4 earthquake, 4 July 2019, in NE #LA #losangeles #california , #CNN الان خانم لوسيا جونز ، #زلزله شناس #سازمان_زمين_شناسي_ايالات_متحه الان داره براي رسانه ها در #كاليفرنيا در مورد #زلزله اي توضيح ميده كه با بزرگاي٦.٤ كه ساعتي قبل شمالشرق #لس_آنجلس را لرزاند (و اين گزارش را به صورت زنده همين الان ساعت حدود١١ شب ١٣-٤-٩٨ به وقت تهران شبكه #سي_ان_ان داره پخش ميكنه). به خدا كيفيت توضيحاتش خيلي با توضيحاتي كه ما در مملكت خودمان در مورد زلزله ها و سوانح به رسانه ها مي دهيم فرق چنداني ندارد! (تازه خيلي سوالات را محافظه كارانه جواب نميده! كه معمولا ما به خبرنگاران هموطنمان جواب تفصيلي ميدهيم!) ، راستي كسي باور ميكنه كيفيت كار علمي ما در ايران امروز مشابه و همسطح كيفيتي است كه همين الان در كاليفرنيا همكاران آمريكايي ما ارايه مي دهند!؟ https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgWD06j68r/?igshid=1dfk2txyc9vvw
