Did Australia move ?
 
I heard that the island of Sumatra has moved 35 meter.

Is or was there any anomalies in GPS positioning on the "Australian
Plate"?
Is it regulated by the satellites ?
As far as I can guess, a datum change would be necessary ?

Does anybody know any reliable sources for answers to these questions ?

Understand this. Not just isolated islands moved. The entire tectonic plate
in the area of the quake subsumed and everything on this plate moved along
with the plate. If the tectonic plate moved three meters then Australia
moved three meters provided the whole of Australia is on that plate.

Pate tectonics are not hard to understand. Since Pangea plates have moved.
Over the millennia Pangea broke up into the continents we see today which are
pretty evenly spaced around the globe.

You didn't answer any of my questions.

There were only a earth quake in the western end of the plate.
The north part of New Zealand is on the same tectonic plate as Sumatra, but
not on the same tectonic plate as the southern part, and I think it would
not have gone unnoticed if half of the Northern Island (Auckland) had moved
36 meter relative to the other half (Wellington). (yes they are on different
tectonic plates).
So I can't see that it is simply the matter of the hole plate moving 36
meters.

Anyway my question was about the consequences for navigating the area, using
GPS.

I also find it interesting to find out how the whole plate moved, but I
can't se that it could be as simple as you suggest.

Does any of our colleagues down under se any change in their GPS positions ?

Look you closet geologists...... if the friggin continent of Australia or
any related tectonic plate subduction resulted in a land mass move of that
severity in such a small time frame.... we'd be facing much greater
cataclysmic disturbances than an oceanic shock wave.

35 meters?...... Not! Hell... even the severest case of isostatic rebound
doesn't amount to more than a centimeter every century.

Isostatic rebound is not uniform.... it is the result of removal of
pressure from Glacial encroachment. It is entirely subject to underlying
geomorphology

No accurate data exists beyond about 50 years ago.... the data is
interpolated from archeological investigation is based on proximity to water
of ancient campsites.

The Laurentian Shield is not undergoing isostatic rebound at the rate you
posted.

If this were so...... we could buy sea frontage and expect our investment
to gain a meter every hundred years. I can assure you nobody has reported
such gains in the last 3 centuries.

The mid Atlantic Ridge is the opposing the subduction of the Pacific plates.

Now cry to your God about how unfair life is and that Creationism is still a

Peter,

Your questions are good questions. Where did you get get the information
about Sumatra? Are you sure of that information?

It would be difficult to get a good accurate Sun sight at this time of
Solstice. I would have a greater question about the sighting that shows
it moved 35 meters than how to prove it did.

The only answer I have for you is Sun Sights averaged over a few weeks.
The noon sight shouldn't be to hard to determine GMT Local Noon for
Longitude. It may take a lot of "Witch's Hats" to average Latitude.

Again, I'd really question the single sighting on Sumatra? That is the
one that sounds strange.

Good Luck on your questions.

We here in Western Washington are on a fault line but the Pacific Plate
is sliding under our Plate and our position has remained the same for
the thirty-five years I've been here but Mt St Helen has let us know
that changes are occurring under us

I just read in today's paper that the source seems to be Ken Hudnut from the
US-GS. He has been quoted for saying something like:
"The earthquake changed the world map"
"Small islands in the Indian Ocean has been moved up to 20 meters, while the
north-western tip of Sumatra may have moved up to 36 meter."
(my translation from the Danish translation).

Erik Schou Jensen, from The Geological Museum at the University of
Copenhagen, thinks that Ken Hudnut has been misquoted, and says:
"What he (KH) is talking about, is a small splinter (?) of a plate located
on the sea-bottom north of Sumatra. This, he (KH) thinks, can have moved up
to 36 meter"
"It has not been possible to perform the necessary measurements, since the
Indonesian authorities has closed the whole area down (?) but the island can
have moved a few centimeters..."
"During the earthquake, it was the Indian plate that slid down under the
plate with Sumatra, so it would not have been Sumatra that moved, but the
sea-bottom under the Indian ocean and not more than five to six meter at one
time."

So it looks like it was just another example of the press not being able to
present the facts.

Isostatic rebound is usually exponential if the load is removed
instantaneously. Here's accurate rebound information for Lake Bonneville
from over 50 years ago:

http://www.geog.utah.edu/geoantiquities/rebound.htm

Now, since you said that data from over 50 years ago is highly uncertain how
can you support your claim that isostatic rebound is no greater than 1 cm/
100 years?
(You've shot yourself in the left foot)

Also what does isostatic rebound have to do with earthquakes and lateral
movement of land masses? Very little, unless you've discovered something
radically new in Geophysics. (Now you've shot your right foot).

And now, for the final blow, I will get you data of isostatic rebound of 1
cm/yr or greater, measured within the last 50 years.

One more thing, why do you refute published, peer reviewed data? Where is
your field work?

Prepare for a beating!

Says:

"The greatest measured rates of isostatic or postglacial rebound in North
America occur in the Richmond Gulf area of southeastern Hudson Bay
(presumably where the ice was thickest). There, a kind of "staircase" of
185 Holocene (postglacial) strandlines (former shorelines) provide a
continuous record of emergence from about 8,000 years ago until the present.
At least 935 feet of recovery (isostatic rebound) has been recorded by these
strandlines. By determining the age of these strand lines, and by
subtracting the apparent component of uplift due to relative sea level
fluctuations, geologists have been able to measure rates of isostatic
rebound. The rates of uplift have declined from a maximum of 33 to 39 feet
per 100 years immediately following deglaciation (8,000 years ago at Hudson
Bay - in North Dakota deglaciation occurred about 5,000 years earlier) to a
current rate of about 4.3 feet/100 years. In other words, the shoreline at
Churchill, Manitoba on the shore of Hudson Bay is currently rising about 4.3
feet per century."

Not only are you remarkably wrong in your statements, the fastest North
American rebound on record is right under your own two feet! And you've shot

That seems a whole lot more plausible Peter. Plate subduction can be extreme
at times of failure..... but what will be most interesting is the cause of
the massive plate movement in the first place.

Tectonic Plate subduction is the primary cause of "Earthquakes" as well as
volcanic formations. Fault line slip is not the culprit... it's the
weakpoint effected by amassing pressure due to tectonic plate movement.

I'm certain our lovable Bible Toting Bob will provide us with further proof

I just read in today's paper that the source seems to be Ken Hudnut from
the
US-GS. He has been quoted for saying something like:
"The earthquake changed the world map"
"Small islands in the Indian Ocean has been moved up to 20 meters, while
the
north-western tip of Sumatra may have moved up to 36 meter."
(my translation from the Danish translation).

Erik Schou Jensen, from The Geological Museum at the University of
Copenhagen, thinks that Ken Hudnut has been misquoted, and says:
"What he (KH) is talking about, is a small splinter (?) of a plate located
on the sea-bottom north of Sumatra. This, he (KH) thinks, can have moved
up
to 36 meter"
"It has not been possible to perform the necessary measurements, since the
Indonesian authorities has closed the whole area down (?) but the island
can
have moved a few centimeters..."
"During the earthquake, it was the Indian plate that slid down under the
plate with Sumatra, so it would not have been Sumatra that moved, but the
sea-bottom under the Indian ocean and not more than five to six meter at
one
time."

So it looks like it was just another example of the press not being able
to
present the facts.

Big problem there is that this is based on uniform movement.... an
implausible assumption which corrupts the basis of the estimate.


At least 935 feet of recovery (isostatic rebound) has been recorded by
these
strandlines. By determining the age of these strand lines, and by
subtracting the apparent component of uplift due to relative sea level

Not rates so much as limits...... rates are "estimated" based on

You can attack me or my sources all you want. But you can't refute a single
fact. The bottom line is you said isostatic rebound is never more than a few
cm/100 yrs. I've found numerous references that show otherwise by a large
factor. Every challenge you presented I've met with data published by
geologists at Universities. All you've done is reduce the scope of your
statement or added qualifications. The bottom line is your statement of fact
is wrong. The statement of fact is not altered by your summer job or any

There were only a earth quake in the western end of the plate.
The north part of New Zealand is on the same tectonic plate as
Sumatra,
but
not on the same tectonic plate as the southern part, and I think

it
would
not have gone unnoticed if half of the Northern Island (Auckland)
had
moved
36 meter relative to the other half (Wellington). (yes they are on
different
tectonic plates).
So I can't see that it is simply the matter of the hole plate

moving
36
meters.

Anyway my question was about the consequences for navigating the

area,
using
GPS.

I also find it interesting to find out how the whole plate moved,
but

I
can't se that it could be as simple as you suggest.

Does any of our colleagues down under se any change in their GPS
positions
?

Understand this. Not just isolated islands moved. The entire

tectonic
plate
in the area of the quake subsumed and everything on this plate
moved
along
with the plate. If the tectonic plate moved three meters then
Australia
moved three meters provided the whole of Australia is on that
plate.

Pate tectonics are not hard to understand. Since Pangea plates

have
moved.
Over the millennia Pangea broke up into the continents we see

today
which
are
pretty evenly spaced around the globe.

I heard that the island of Sumatra has moved 35 meter.

Is or was there any anomalies in GPS positioning on the

"Australian
Plate"?
Is it regulated by the satellites ?
As far as I can guess, a datum change would be necessary ?

Does anybody know any reliable sources for answers to these
questions
?

I see you here administering a severe beating to CM with your
every post. Who says men of the cloth are narrow-minded and
ignorant? You, sir, prove otherwise with your every erudite,
factual and insightful post. Your grasp of the physical world
is ever so much worldly than a certain, drunken, Nova Scotia,
neophyte sailor's ever will be.

In spite of being soundly pummeled about the head and
shoulders, I see CM remains in total denial. How is it some
folks can't seem to accept reality, admit their mistakes
and step out of the pyre that consumes them?

Could it be they are so possessed by Lucifer that they have
come to enjoy ignorance and pain? Surely such as CM will
have their immortal souls reincarnated in canine form so
they will have two more feet to chew off when they get
caught in the inevitable bear trap of their own stupidity.

Praise! Glory.

A report on the news tonight said that some Islands close to the

epicentre
had moved 120 metres.


Do you have any idea of how ridiculous that sounds.??

Thank you, kind sir. The current beating I'm administering pales in
comparison to the beatings you deliver on an almost daily basis to the
liberals, liars, cowards, lubberly types, Tugboat Captains, Bobsprit and, in
general, those destined to burn in the flames of hell. It is a small thing I
do to relieve you, a Master Mariner, of your righteous duty to administer a
flogging to those who lag.

Perhaps one day, one time, one of them will realize the error of their
thinking and straighten out. Until then it is an almost thankless task only
appreciated by those who understand the purpose of living on God's good
earth. Amen! God Bless you and Master Mariners everywhere!
God bless George Bush and the right wing of the Republican Party! God bless
John Wayne, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and George Wallace! God bless
General Patton, Chester Nimitz, General Sherman and Jefferson Davis! God
bless the Confederacy and Robert E. Lee!

Amen!

I just can't stop thinking about pedophilia. It's on my mind almost
constantly. Every other post I make is about it. I do extensive research
on Google about it - I even have Ganz beat.

You make many good points.
I must point out here, however, that the Great General Lee, a man for whom I
hold great admiration, admitted that in his heart, he was a humanitarian,
and by today's definitions, was as close to the left extreme as he was to
the right!

It's incredible that no one from the authorities has yet to investigate Neal
Warren's boat for pedophile material. Of course, he was gone from the
newsgroup for a long time, so possibly he was in jail.
