Humanity is in Peril

THE powerful 7.7 earthquake that shook Thailand and Myanmar, is a graphic reminder to humanity that nature has the power to rock planet earth.

The ring of fire is on the rampage. Monster earthquakes are going off all around the Pacific Ocean's ring of fire. The amount of devastation is going to be unbelievable. Historical records show earthquakes became more frequent and much more intense during the 20th century.

One Japanese earthquake was so powerful that it shifted the earth on its axis, in amounts estimated to be between 4 and 10 inches. About 90 percent of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the ring of fire. In a 40 000km horseshoe shape, it is associated with nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs and volcanic belts and/or plate movements.
