- A 3.8 magnitude earthquake was centered off the Maine coast and felt for hundreds of miles around New England. WBZ-TV meteorologists Jacob Wycoff and Terry Eliasen break down what may have caused it.
What caused the earthquake in New England?
It could have been something else.
@RoxanneM- no. not really.
@ @jamesdriggers2011 : 5 causes of earthquakes:
1- Volcanic eruptions
2- Tectonic movements
3- Geological faults
4- Man-made, like nuclear bombing, heavy clubbing of water in dams, mining.
5- Minor causes: landslides, collapse of heavy rocks, etc.
When you studied geography, did you too get 💯 ? It doesn’t seem like you ever studied geography or traveled to see nature and study science for decades like I did as a hobby.
@RoxanneM-that was beautifully brutal. I'm always amazed how little they know while how confident they are about it
@RoxanneM-
1 happens because of 2.
3 is the same thing as 2.
5 wouldn't cause anything felt that widely.
So maybe 4, but if it was an explosion, they'd probably be reporting an explosion going off, instead of just an earthquake.
It's just common sense.
I'm not geology expert. But I'm going to go with a fault.....
🤦
Yeah but who's fault? Don't blame me!
chris christie has landed.
😅😅 haha yep I think so
The era of stability is in the past. Natural disasters continue to increase exponentially. They have already become a reality for hundreds of millions of people. And their consequences are worsening due to lack of timely action and ignoring the warnings that independent ALLATRA scientists have been reporting for 10 years.
Is the sky falling too ? Chicken little…
I knew it! Blame climate change.When has there ever been stabilty or lack of natural disasters? Remember this: ignorance can be corrected. stupidity is forever.
@@cestmoi1262OMG. 3rd graders online today.
@@bfranco1519it’s science. Many Americans are ignorant of it.
I don't think you understand what exponential means. Obviously cell phones are to blame. It's amazing how many natural disasters get reported since they were invented 🤦
As a Californian its strange to hear about Quakes hitting the east coast but i know they can happen there.
At that level, it's more of a murmer. Lol
No one even felt anything. This is fake news.
i think its very active, just very deep, in Northeast
@davidcarp5935 most east coast fault zones are older and less active but from time to time they act up.
"Doubling it" no. A 5.0 earthquake is 10x as strong as a 4.0 earthquake. It's a logarithmic scale
I felt this in my school in math class. Keep in mind I was in Chester NH a long ways from Maine
You're in Rockingham county. Across the piscataqua river is York county Maine..
You were closer than you think
Sorry for your loss.
@atomicwedgie8176 LOL!
They have bots in Maine??
Np point in New Hampshire is a long ways from Maine.
Good thorough explanation, well done.
In 2011 I felt one in my basement in RI , I don’t remember what state it actually happened in but I was standing in front of my washing machine and I had to grab onto it when the the floor just rolled under my feet, it was the freakiest thing ever, my friend who was upstairs said all the pictures on the wall started shaking , I think it happened in Connecticut back then. Very scary , I hope I never feel another one .
Felt it in Farmington, NH. I am originally from San Francisco, CA. I know an earthquake when I feel it.....been through a few of them in Calif. When the earthquake hit today, I knew exactly what it was. My friend tried to tell me it was him in the kitchen. Lol......until he saw folk talking about it on FB.

CBS: what caused the earthquake in New England?
Me: illuminati
Raytheon facility in Antarctica. Get used to them...
HAARP
Why did you stop the conversation like that? It was interesting to listen to something beyond the headlines.
In Montpeier Vermont, I haven't seen it.
Was felt in Blackstone Mass for a brief moment. Thought it was the quarry blasting. Surreal.
Im in bellingham, didn't feel it, hmm
I was 10 miles away, it had the loudest BOOM first, sounded like the biggest explosion I've ever heard!!! Then the rumble started. Earthquakes do that first?
Cool story
Raytheon facility in Antarctica does that...
@@TheMagnificentNothing-gh1lz it sounded like a massive explosion tbh
Underwater magma release?
@@genevieveanderson4330 I guess it's possible, just unheard of in this area, we sit on solid rock
New jersey first? Or thereafter
I love Jacob, but he apparently invited Terry on for a reason. But, he does most of the talking. Maybe I don’t understand the context.
Around 1620 occurred one of the strongest earthquakes ever was centered in central Connecticut according to the USGS
In HIngham, Ma...just south of Boston, on the water - Boston Harbor, not the Atlantic.
It woke up some people in the house. Not me. I'm annoyed with myself for missing it.
I haven't felt a quake since about 2013 or so. There was a little one in this area.
felt all the way in Western Connecticut as well.
I told my girlfriend while we were lying in bed “ I would rock her world “
Maybe because there are Mountains. That is how the land rose up to form mountains.
Live in Mass, added earthquake insurance to my homeowners policy about 15 years ago….next year I bet they won’t renew it😂
I'm in north east Kensington NH, so 20 miles away (or from the epicenter by Pythagorean theorem √(20^2+12^2) ≈ 23 and 1/3 miles😂), and I felt this and legit thought it was an explosion or nuke. My house shook like it was coming off the foundation. I know this is common elsewhere, but not here, so earthquake was my second thought.
I'd like to ask a question all the bombing in Ukraine and in the Middle East do you think that has anything to do with triggering these earthquakes
Next you will say its trumps Fault , lol.
@tuneafish no I won't I'm just asking a question
@@donaldcurtis9229 Utube is no place to educate yourself , good luck.
Cabot Fault is potentially the one to be concerned with.
Generally its techtonic plates.
yes i knew it here in maine (midcoast area) where i live my f'n trailer started shaking weirdly, i was telling my oldest what was going one, she thought it was the wind, i go no because i have gotten 60-80 mph wind thru and my trailer barely moves...i knew it thank you for confirming my suspicion (we live in the bowdoinham) so yeah we are south of augusta. the (2nd one in my lifetime) the epicenter was like in dresden maine, felt it, went right thru my trailer, shifted it, which isn't so much leveled like it was (minor damages) and VERY LOUD. so this one will be my 3rd the first one i felt is was when i was a teen and was in freeport at that time my sisters and i were visiting our father, we were all sitting at the kitchen table playing card when the house shook. my stepmother thought it was s d warran in westbrook that blew up, nope next day we learned it was an earthquake
You certainly appreciate the mid-coast Sue!
just like the last one slept right through it lol
Maine had a 4.1 like 2 years ago
What does Dutchsinse say?
Sure felt it in Pembroke NH.
The last “big” one that southern Maine had was in the fall of 2012. That one was a 4.5 (initially) in East Waterboro. Then as I recall it was downgraded a little, just like this one was. I’ll never forget - it felt like a giant roller going under our house from front to back. This one was different but just as alarming.
I Felt the one a few months Ago we had in New England right away..I felt one in ,1999 in Southwwest woke me up out of sound sleep bed shook ect..Thats how i knew imme ..what that last one we had off RI felt like
Felt it in Salem NH.
Why does it register one strength, and then after review you change it?
Didn’t notice anything whatsoever
Felt it in Springfield ma today.
Loveeeeee❤
Rocks
The earth moving underneath my feet at 1k per hr and I don’t feel that but the earthquake no problem…
The earth isn't moving under your feet at 1k per hr or whatever fake number you pull out.
You AND the earth are moving together through space not independently. The bigger an object you are on the less feel of forward movement you will feel unless there is an abrupt change in direction.
You are a shining example of red state education
@@stonedsasquatch Wow, the sarcastic joke BLUE right over your head....whooosh!
95.New York i felt one shake around 4.
Friend.
Chris Christie tripped at a Golden Corral again?
“Norumbeeeeegah” is the Bostonian pronunciation.
They were fracking
for shale oil
Oh great. Looks pretty close to Seabrook NPP!
Felt it in Falmouth MA cape cod. Lasted 30-30 secs
I Mainely think an earthquake caused the earthquake... Mainely. Case solved.
Western Ma (Berkshires)
Nothing felt ✌🏼❤️
These guys are NOT Gay.
Compared to virginia earthquake nothing
See Myron Cook for the explanation of how these passive coastal edges can become subduction zones.
Felt it in lynn mass
I have nothing nice to say
In many ways thats a stupid question.
Its like youre asking whos to blame.
Earthquakes occur, there are volumes full of what we dont know about inside the earth
Godzilla, that's why.🦕

We had one in Portsmouth, NH in 2001. The windows shook in the mansion I lived in and it woke us up...lots of quakes here...
It was me too much taco bell
Was there any kind of tsunami since it was off shore?
Must be global warming....
Dear President Trump, I applaud you designating Drug Cartels as Terrorist groups but there's 2 parts to the equation, one you promised, and that is you make it a Life Sentence to deal Drugs in the U.S.. I hope you follow through on this because as long as there is a Conduit for demand of Drugs you'll never Stop the Flow of Drugs. Life in Prison for the Sale of Drugs, make it Federal Law!

Trump is the greatest president !!! 🏆 Thank for supporting him
Wrong channel
And that has to do with the earthquake how?
It was nothing 😂
mark it down... trump will blame it on windmills
Good windmills are for smooth brains
The earth is responding to human emotions. Keep your anger in check! That’s what is causing these earthquakes.
God's message to the liberals in the north east 😅
if that was so... then what did He send JESUS for? You're literally invalidating Jesus's death on the cross by saying God is still seeking vengeance. He's not. He gave us FREE WILL and a choice for salvation. We're on our own with the real leader of this world... who even Jesus knew was the father of LIES. Read your book.
Trump caused the quake.
You are a completely foolish buffoon
Fracking.
Trumpgh tariffs caused those earthquakes everybody run😂😢😮😅😊🎉🎉
Reee Reee! 😂😂😂😂
Your mom
Did trump fall down.
Still mad that Kamala lost I see😂
He's going to name it the Kumhalluh Fault... and he should.
Sasquatch!
Everything is going back to 1940.
3.8 is a big one hahaha! We get those weekly in Ca…
Keep the fear high, and the sheep nervous!
I'm in Southern California but felt them in NY and it's a different feeling back east . I felt a 2.0 in NY and felt like what a 5 would feel like here. Soil composition is different
I live an hour away and thought a mack truck was about to crash through my house...
Your imagination. We certainly didn't feel it in Rhode Island as you said we did. Wow. This UA-cam and the media really suuuuckksss.
Who is "we"? There are dozens of reports from people in RI saying they felt it, and the seismometer in New London CT recorded shaking of an intensity that very definitely could be felt. Whether you personally felt it or recognized it as an earthquake doesn't mean others didn't. Holy main character syndrome!
Fracking
🤮
GOD!
Drilling!!
