Listener Question - Can Human Noise Damage the Earth? (GeoShort)
Podcast: PlanetGeo: The Geology PodcastPublished On: Thu Nov 12 2020
Description: In this GeoShort Episode we answer the listener question: Can human induced earthquakes damage Earth? The short answer is....no. Human seismic noise is actually really really small, but everywhere. Much like static in the radio signal, it creates a little background buzz in many place. In this episode, we talk about how small the human background seismicity is and also the misconception that earthquakes are rare events. Earthquakes are actually quite common; it's the big earthquakes that are rare. Small earthquakes are occurring all the time except that they just cannot be felt by humans. Our really sensitive instruments do pick up these vibrations though! Millions occur every year all over the planet but they don't have a major impact on our lives. —————————————————— Instagram: @planetgeocast Twitter: @planetgeocast Facebook: @planetgeocast Email: planetgeocast@gmail.com Website: https://planetgeocast.buzzsprout.com/ Download the CampGeo app now at this link.
