FAQs

Who is Dutchsinse? ›

Dutchsinse is one person, Michael Janitch (from St. Louis Missouri). I am a highschool graduate (education wise). Just a person who made some discoveries relating to geophysics, in particular a progression of earthquakes occurring across distances, originating from deep earthquake locations.

On 4 December 1991, the first induced earthquake of the Groningen field was measured, with a magnitude of 2.4 on the Richter scale. In 1993, after research, NAM recognized a link between earthquakes and gas extraction. In the following decades, the number of induced earthquakes increased.

Parkfield, California, is known as “The Earthquake Capital of the World” and has a bridge that spans two tectonic plates. Earthquakes are mostly caused by geological faults, but they can also be caused by landslides, nuclear testing, mine tests, and volcanic activity.

Credit: USGS (Public domain.) The largest recorded earthquake in the United States was a magnitude 9.2 that struck Prince William Sound, Alaska on Good Friday, March 28, 1964 UTC.

The earthquake hit at 3:11 pm approximately 100 miles (160 km) off the coast of Chile, parallel to the city of Valdivia. The shock is generally agreed to have had a magnitude of 9.5, though some studies alternately proposed that it may have been 9.4 or 9.6.

The Netherlands has relatively mild earthquakes. This is because our country is not located near the edge of a tectonic plate. Nevertheless, earthquakes that can be felt do occur from time to time.

1. California

The seismic activity in California is widely known, and high-hazard areas cover large sections of the state, including the San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The San Andreas Fault has caused some of the most notable earthquakes in recent memory.

As it is not located on a plate boundary, Singapore has no recorded earthquakes, and has only felt light tremors from other seismic events. The country is also protected from open waters thanks to Malaysia in the north and Batam Island in the south.

For which country do we locate the most earthquakes? Japan. The whole country is in a very active seismic area, and they have the densest seismic network in the world, so they are able to record many earthquakes.
