Stressed out: on the verge of a major geological event in the Pacific?

 

June 26, 2011 – Are we on the verge of an event in the South Pacific? We’ve seen a staggering number of signs in the last few days indicating major change may be unfolding. The Indo-Australian Plate is a major tectonic plate that includes the continent of Australia and surrounding ocean, and extends northwest to include the Indian subcontinent and adjacent waters. Recent studies suggest that the Indo-Australian Plate may be in the process of breaking up into two separate plates due primarily to stresses induced by the collision of the Indo-Australian Plate with Eurasia along the Himalayas which is pushing the mountain range up. The two protoplates or subplates are generally referred to as the Indian Plate and the Australian Plate. We have reason to believe we’re now seeing more evidence of that and feel we could be on the eve of witnessing major earthchanges to land masses in the South Pacific. The recent series of events in the last 24 hours indicates the nature of the rapid geological processes that may already be unfolding which could change the face of the South Pacific forever.
