What caused 2021 Haiti earthquake?

According to the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred as a result of oblique-reverse faulting on the Enriquillo–Plantain Garden fault zone 125 km (78 mi; 67 nmi) west of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, consistent with its location and the observed focal mechanism.

Is a 9.0 earthquake possible?

A 9.0 earthquake is also possible in Alaska, the most earthquake-prone state in the U.S. In 1964, the Aleutian fault separating the Pacific and North American plates ruptured near the city of Anchorage, resulting in a 9.2-magnitude earthquake the second largest ever recorded on a seismograph.

How is the distance between Voyager 1 and Earth determined?

This is a real-time indicator of Voyagers’ distance from Earth in astronomical units (AU) and either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Note: Because Earth moves around the sun faster than Voyager 1 is speeding away from the inner solar system, the distance between Earth and the spacecraft actually decreases at certain times of year.

Why is the one way light time between Voyager 1 and 2 decreasing?

Note: Because Earth moves around the Sun faster than Voyager 1 or Voyager 2 is traveling from Earth, the one-way light time between Earth and each spacecraft actually decreases at certain times of the year. This meter depicts the dramatic changes in readings by Voyager’s cosmic ray instrument.

How long does the shaking of an earthquake last?

Earthquakes can vary in their magnitude, the size of the earthquake at its source, and length, lasting from seconds to minutes. Research has shown, that shaking of an earthquake displays a characteristic pattern.

What happens if you predict an earthquake and it happens?

If an earthquake happens to occur that remotely fits their prediction, they claim success even though one or more of their predicted elements is wildly different from what actually occurred, so it is therefore a failed prediction.
