World's dams cause earthquakes
Modern civilization
Cannot detect cause!

The damquake:
2016-08-24T01:36:33.590Z 42.714 13.1719 10 6.2 mwp 0.199526231 65.5611


The dams of the world input a surge energy of 989 times the energy released

actually by the 6.2 MM shallow quake at the hypocentre. Thus the many aftershocks.
Some numbers will capture the scale of destruction and deaths:
The worldwide dam content change of 0.14 BCM which caused the earthquake and the aftershocks

resulted in a vertical upward displacement of the focal point of 91.3 m in 12 seconds of rupture.

The rupture at the quake and the aftershocks all culminated in this upward displacement of the hypocenters.

And hence the total destruction and landslides. The vertical upward displacement rate was 7.6 m/s and the upward

ground acceleration was 0.634 m/s/s at the 6.2 MM quake focal point. The vertical velocity was 5 orders of magnitude fold

that which existed on the average for the earthquakes in the world till the time of the 6.2 MM quake at Norcia. The vertical acceleration of the ground was 10 orders of magnitude fold that which existed before this quake on the average. The destructive power of

the released energy at the focal point was 10.5 TW. For comparison the total electrical power capacity
of the world is 6 TW! The distance to the center of gravity of the dam contents to the hypocentre was 8117 km on the great circle. 
The data for the Norcia earthquake was retrieved  from

COMPARISON OF Norcia quake with the La’Aquila quake brings out the power of dams to lift mountains(cf Ref: The science of dams causing earthquakes and climate change and the reference 5(Fisher) therein). See the revised(11 October 2016) Table1NorciaLaAquila: The rupture duration data and the data on injuries for this Table are from

USGS: Significant Earthquakesof the World at

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/significant/sig_2008.php Updated information available now at:


http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/browse/significant.php

From  Table1NorciaLaAquila, observe that the vertically downward displacement of the hypocenter of 91 m during the 6th April 2009 La'Aquila damquake is restored by the vertically upward displacement of like amount during the 24th August 2016 one.
The Chisquared distribution probability of 88% between the ratio of injuries during the two quakes, the ratio of energy released and the ratio of power applied at the two locations shows that these ratios are interchangeable.  The destructive power of the dam surges is thus enormously more than what the plate tectonics theory is capable of mustering( cf USGS reports of these two significant earthquakes in the reference above with its speculations).








 

Modern civilization, a society of specialists, however, is built on false foundations

of specializations and is blind to this fact of horror caused by the world's dams. See

Predicting Earthquakes: The science of dams causing earthquakes and climate change at the link:



Have a look at the characteristics of the Italian quakes in the dam era 1900-2016 compared with the pre-dam era -1450 to 1899, Table 1:
See how the number of significant 6MM & + earthquakes in Italy and all significant earthquakes in Italy vary similarly with World Dam Capacity
