Something is rumbling under ground and it isn't good

Maybe you heard about it or maybe you didn't, but just recently, there were seismic waves that rumbled around the entire world.

• Strange waves rippled around the world, and nobody knows why

The seismic waves began roughly 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte, a French island sandwiched between Africa and the northern tip of Madagascar. The waves buzzed across Africa, ringing sensors in Zambia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. They traversed vast oceans, humming across Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and even Hawaii nearly 11,000 miles away.

That is not a good thing, when scientist have an idea of where something started, but are baffled at the size and intensity. To top things off, it wasn't a scientist who noticed the waves that lasted up to 20 minutes.

Only one person noticed the odd signal on the U.S. Geological Survey's real-time seismogram displays. An earthquake enthusiast who uses the handle @matarikipax saw the curious zigzags and posted images of them to Twitter.

Here is his first Tweet on November 11th. The articles about it have been appearing in the last day or so.

In the National Geographic article, they point back to earthquakes in the Mayotte that happened in May. Of course, I picked up on the oddness of those earthquakes back then.

In fact, when they were still going on on May 24, I dug a little deeper into the area to learn if there was anything significant about it and I found that it was created by volcanoes. I connected the current theory that low solar activity leads to increased volcanic activity to the possibility of why this area might be seeing an uptick.

Madagascar - the Mascarene Plateau is said to have been formed by a volcanoes. I think we might have an awakening of an undersea volcano here. This would correspond with lower sunspot activity and increased earthquake and volcanic activity. The Sun seems to wake up dormant volcanoes when it goes to sleep

The National Geographic article also helps add information by giving a time frame and the hint that there might be a super caldera below the ocean near the island.

Mayotte was formed from volcanism, but its geologic beasts haven't erupted in over 4,000 years. Instead, The French Geological Survey (BRGM) analysis suggests that this new activity may point to magmatic movement offshore—miles from the coast under thousands of feet of water.

The BRGM isn't 100%, but they believe the island has moved 2 inches since July. That might not seem like a lot, but in geological numbers, that is significant. If there is magma moving the island and causing rumbles, what else might be happening?

• Large crack in East African Rift is evidence of continent splitting in two

Back in April of this year, a large crack developed in Kenya along an area called the Great Rift Valley.

The two plates that create Africa plate are called the Nubian and the Somalian. With Madagascar and Mayotte being part of the Somalian plate. Based on what is happening, my guess would be that the Somalian plate is the one moving. Madagascar itself is considered another minor plate itself, which could also mean that it is sliding off of the Somalian plate.

However, maybe they drew the Somalian plate down too far and it actually goes under the Madagascar Plate. If you draw a line through Moyette and up the Great Rift Valley, you can see what might likely be the new continent of East Africa.

Low Solar Activity Causes Volcanic Eruptions

• Possible Correlation Between Solar and Volcanic Activity in Long-Term Scale - 2003

This agrees with the explanation that volcanic dust and gasses cause a decrease of the observed surface air temperature. ... Solar activity governs the volcanic activity on the Earth in long-term scale. Volcanic activity is usually higher in periods of prolonged minima of solar activity and vice versa.

That's right, back in 2003, a Harvard study made a connection between increased volcanic activity and lower solar activity. So, ignoring the connection with solar activity and volcanic activity causing global cooling and the incoming ice age, is there a connection between now and when the Mascarene Plateau was created 4,000 years ago?

• Norwegian Scientists: Global Cooling Starting, Due To Low Solar Activity

The key part of this article is this:

In their groundbreaking New Astronomy paper, Norwegian professors Harald Yndestad and Jan-Erik Solheim indicate that the modern (1940-2015) Grand Maximum of very high solar activity — the highest solar activity levels in 4,000 years — has just ended.

A 4,000 year cycle in solar activity? And we hit its peak and now we are heading in to a deep solar minimum?

I'm not a scientist, just a person interested in things. I like to find patterns and believe that there are cycles everywhere in life. While politicians can yell about Global Warming or Climate Change all they want, they are ignoring the things that humans have absolutely no control over. The Sun is going to do its things, whether we protest or not. And when the Sun does it things, the Earth is going to react, whether we spend billions on things or not. There have been great catastrophe's that we know of in the past and plenty that we don't know about, because they caused too much damage.

Who are we to say that geological changes that happened thousands of years ago can't happen again?
