2010 major earthquake la

Here's a bit more info on our desert:

Desert Centre Osoyoos - Canada's Only Pocket Desert

Thanks. That's very interesting. My sister used to live in Oliver and I once lived in Penticton so trips near there were frequent enough. She lived 10 miles out of Oliver so not really very far from Osoyoos at all. Brother lives in Cawston. Most of my family lives all over that area. I grew up in the Similkameen.

I watched 2012 tonight. What a lot of fun! The only place to survive was Africa. Loved it. Back to the beginning!

I find it interesting that all these apocalyptic scenarios are attributed to Mayan prophecies. What I understand is that the Mayan calendar just resets itself and starts all over again. Most of the predictions were made up in the last 30 years by psychics and other phonies.

As long as you live at the center of the universe (S. Ont) you don't have any problems. at according to Edgar Cayce.
The New Madrid (Missouri) fault is due for another big shaker may be this it will split N America &, Yellowstone is due for a blow.

my older sister told me that she saw an earthquake documentary that says that there are fault lines under toronto.8O

Their everywhere but dont blame me,it's not my fault.
My geologist used to say "there was a whole lotta movin and shakin going on back then".

Faulting is what makes B.C.'s coal beds so profitable,they are faulted and folded so bad that the seams are stacked on top of each other.

It's the Sonora Desert. Osoyoos - pronounced OH Sue EE Us (not O soy Yoos)


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In fact, Osoyoos is located on Canada's only desert - the northern most tip of the Sonora Desert. Situated in the heart of the South Okanagan, and boasting the lowest annual rainfall and the highest average temperatures, this is appropriately called BC's Desert Wine Country![/FONT]

Holland would be more than happy with 32 feet just about anywhere.

Southern BC is a series of fault lines with all our major valleys running north and south. The Arrow lakes is a fault and that is why there are so many hot springs here - "the valley of the hot springs" is our selling point to the touri until that fault opens up. Then according to a map of Edgar Cayces predictions, we will have ocean front property - if we survive the opening.

I really don't know if there is any natural growing cactus (cacti) in Kamloops. I do have a lot of family there though so I will attempt to find out. Sage Brush is very common in Kamloops.
I just googled it instead. Apparently cactus quite common all around that area.

I'm more familiar with the faults in south eastern B.C.but I'll check out the connections with those ones because Im a rock guy and love this stuff.

Quite a few of our mountains in Alberta came from B.C.
Waterton comes to mind.
And the Purcell sill and Crowsnest volcanics is good evidence that we had major ****e happening here at the time the mountains slid after flipping upside down.

If you look at a topo map of the Kooenays, you will see the Monashee range on the west side of Arrow Lakes and the Valhallas on the East. On the East side of the Slocan Valley you have the Selkirks. The Valhallas are far older than both of the others on either side of them. Can you explain that little trick of nature?

Upside down?
Ours are here as they slid from the flathead B.C. and flipped in the process so the oldest rock is on top of the mountains and the youngest is at the bottom.

My house is on the side of the Livingstone range,the selkirk is close. At least I'm not on top of the ring of fire.

The Canadian Rockies are the easternmost part of the Canadian Cordillera, the collective name for the mountains of Western Canada. They form part of the American Cordillera, an essentially continuous sequence of mountain ranges that runs all the way from Alaska to the very tip of South America. The Cordillera in turn are the eastern part of the Pacific Ring of Fire that runs all the way around the Pacific Ocean.

Not exactly exactly related to the topic, but does anyone old enough here remember a song in the 60s about an earthquake in LA called something like 'Shaking Away'?
