Earthquake in Oz

My mate lives in Melbourne and last week she was in bed and the earth moved, but not the kind you think either, they had an earthquake and things moved across the floor!

A couple days ago they had another one, only light this time, pretty scarey i think, as theyve never had one before

Isn't the volcanic activity happening in the Australasia area, Magica?

I remember being in Greece, when the ground shook and the water in the pool seemed to shudder with small waves. It only lasted a couple of seconds, but was both unnerving and beautiful to feel.

Im not sure about the volcanoes shine, but it was quite unnerving for my friend as its neverhappened before.

Makes you realise that Earth is so ancient and all these things happening, bit scarey really. Nature has a way of working itself out, so lets hope Oz doesnt see anymore earthquakes.

Remember, Magica, this stuff we call earth is only the crusty surface of a great molten ball of rock. I believe earthquakes and other forms of seizmic and volcanic activity have the potential to happen anyway on the the earth's surface.

I agree Shine, and its scary to think that nature has a way of fighting back isnt it?

This Earth is so so old, i suppose its bound to crack every so often.

A bit like my wife.
