Using a complex model, he and fellow scientists came up with a preliminary calculation that the quake should have shortened the length of an Earth day by about 1.26 microseconds (a microsecond is one millionth of a second).</p> <p>Perhaps more impressive is how much the quake shifted Earth’s axis. Gross calculates the quake should have moved Earth’s figure axis (the axis about which Earth’s mass is balanced) by 2.7 milliarcseconds (about 8 centimeters, or 3 inches). Earth’s figure axis is not the same as its north-south axis; they are offset by about 10 meters (about 33 feet).</p> <p>By comparison, Gross said the same model estimated the 2004 magnitude 9.1 Sumatran earthquake should have shortened the length of day by 6.8 microseconds and shifted Earth’s axis by 2.32 milliarcseconds (about 7 centimeters, or 2.76 inches).</p> <p>Gross said that even though the Chilean earthquake is much smaller than the Sumatran quake, it is predicted to have changed the position of the figure axis by a bit more for two reasons. First, unlike the 2004 Sumatran earthquake, which was located near the equator, the 2010 Chilean earthquake was located in Earth’s mid-latitudes, which makes it more effective in shifting Earth’s figure axis. Second, the fault responsible for the 2010 Chiliean earthquake dips into Earth at a slightly steeper angle than does the fault responsible for the 2004 Sumatran earthquake. This makes the Chile fault more effective in moving Earth’s mass vertically and hence more effective in shifting Earth’s figure axis.</p> <p>Gross said the Chile predictions will likely change as data on the quake are further refined.</p>http://blog.originallgb.com/post/422154389http://blog.originallgb.com/post/422154389Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:28:04 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kylz9t5GLG1qa4pypo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.baubauhaus.com/post/419962104/i-3-polyhedrons-via" target="_blank">baubauhaus</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I <3 Polyhedrons (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/katemo" target="_blank">⟁</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://blog.originallgb.com/post/422150566http://blog.originallgb.com/post/422150566Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:25:12 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kynuo1GhMs1qz4v6zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://blog.invisiblecreature.com/?p=1163" target="_blank">Invisible Creature Speaks » Young The Giant</a></p>http://blog.originallgb.com/post/422145791http://blog.originallgb.com/post/422145791Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:21:37 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwk44imRgA1qz6whro1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://stellllllllllllllllllllllllllllo.tumblr.com/post/347001204" target="_blank">stellllllllllllllllllllllllllllo</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.youmightfindyourself.com/post/345362131/supersecret-alaina-married-to-the-sea-via-dm" target="_blank"><br/></a></p> </blockquote>http://blog.originallgb.com/post/421546069http://blog.originallgb.com/post/421546069Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:24:50 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kym79s4Wh81qz4v6zo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>who is this man?</p>http://blog.originallgb.com/post/420186286http://blog.originallgb.com/post/420186286Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:58:40 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyf114ZG1x1qz4v6zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>B00m h34d5h0t!!1!
