i think i saw that data for increased earthquakes somewhere, i know there is an increase in solar activity.

it's the dolphins revenge?

the video of the people driving being swept away by the tsunami... idk

I'm pretty sure we've only been measuring the intensity of earthquakes since the early 1900's.

you're thinking of the richter scale. there are many other scales available that can also measure the intensity of an earthquake. and there are also some unconventional methods to translating values between these scales.

The guy they interviewed said exactly this:

"We can assure that here is no nuclear risk."

Reporter:

"What about reports of Fukushima?"

"Oh, yeah, uhh, we can't cool down the reactor because the water pumps have failed."

Reporter:

"Doesn't that mean it will melt down?"

"Not necessarily"

I'm talking about seismometers in general, not the particular scale we use. I know there have been different devices to detect earthquakes for a long time, but I don't think we had a way to measure them till around 1900...maybe a little earlier.

Are there others I don't know about?

well, there are documented records of earthquakes from thousands of years ago. most civilizations back in the day had a personalized way of recording the magnitude of an earthquake using their own methods and devices. today, we can "guesstimate" such magnitudes in modern terms by evaluating recorded evidence of the seismic event, i.e. overall destruction, how far it was felt, etc. translating such information into our richter scale is a bit foolish imo, but science can do that sometimes. :shrug:

finally, my geo classes came in handy.
