The main earthquake and the aftershock are on an fault line known as the New Madrid fault line. This fault line is known for making earthquakes up to 8 on the ricther scale. Last time that did happen was in the 19th century.

I am fairly sure that this event now is part of normal movement of the fault line, due to happen every 20 to 50 years.

People in the area should expect aftershocks in the next one or two weeks, maybe longer. Btu the aftershock pattern depends on many factors that I don't know all.

For those interested the waveform of the earthquake was recorded by people interested in recording earthquakes in nearby states. The plots can be seen here, http://www.simnet.is/jonfr500/earthquake/othersten.htm

But I have collected them into one nice web page. The data is near real time and is updated every 5 min, at least that is the case for most of the plots

As a amature in recording earthquakes and monitoring volcanoes. I was wondering if it is known if the fault line that did cose the forest to sink was on a subduction zone or other type of fault line. Since the only incidents that I know of ground falling or rising is when the plate slips and create a earthquake. Given recent examples (Solomon Islands, Sumatra and so on), I would think that the earthquake that did sink the the forest 300 million years ago must have been around mag 7.0 to 8.? on the richter scale.

I did try to find a map with outlines of the continental plates 300 million years ago, but didn't find any. So I don't know where the this forest was actually located 300 million years ago. But I have a great interest in seeing where the continentals where located during this time.

For your interest, as a geologist. Here is my earthquake page (link below). If you are lucky, you will see a earthquake there, sometimes many. But it has been quiet for few weeks here in Iceland. The plot mostly shows noise at the moment. Since I was doing a little maintaince on my geophone yesterday.

I've made a unified diff of the differences between the GPLv2 and GPLv3-draft, enjoy!

Here's a direct link to the trailer, feel free to hammer it;)

Here's an old site wich lists and describes a few of these programs: click me!

Some of them seem to still be in business.
