As spring comes, so does the threat of earthquakes, especially along the west coast. The earthquakes and magma discharge from the Gulf of Alaska creates shifting in pressure under the plates and this may cause an acceleration earthquakes, only time will tell. The main cause is the energy shift as the conduction of heat flow shuts down and heat begins to build causing expansion in the plates. Here is earthquakes along the California coast to today.

The Gulf of Alaska is finally settling down, so the weather will warm within the next couple weeks. There is a lot of snow to melt, and with it will come more clouds and precipitation on top of the snow melt we already have. This will threatening many regions with flooding water this spring. The Gulf of Alaska is .5C warmer than last year at this time.  We are not going into an ice age, it's weather, short term alterations. Climate is long term over many years. We experienced this cooling effect across North America in 2001. This graph is Temperatures from the Swann Lake Research Farm near Morris, MN, and rapid flooding occurred due to the late thaw and rapid melt that followed. All regions should be preparing for this. Here is a USGS report on this 2001 Minnesota flooding.  |
