Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 got me... that region is EXTREMELY volcanic and earthquake prone.. but.. if there was a strong enough earthquake to produce a tsunami a. it would have been felt all over the Med, (the region is much smaller then the Indian Ocean) b. if a tsunami did occur, yer not gonna have a news story appear about receding shore lines..the water is going t o pull back, then come in...no time to speculate and post news stories about it... rvijay07 Jan 15, 2005 7:43 AM Turkey: 3 Meters Fall in Sea Level.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 i wonder.... at the beginning of the week, the moon, sun and earth were in syzygy (basically all in a line)... here they were worried about high tides..especially since it had rained all weekend... we always get floods in one part of SJ when we get this high high tide anyways... if it a higher then normal high tide in my part of the world, would it make sense to have a lower then normal low tide in turkey? tis the opposite side of world.... , rvijay07@m... wrote: > > Fraggle, what do you think of this ?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 It would seem to be logical.

Such events must as significant drop in sea level must have occured before also then. If not three metres then atleast a one meter drop etc., The point is where did all this water disappear ? Considering that this has even the experts baffled, I am just speculating here. I feel that there is an old used up oil well close to the sea (or underneath it) somewhere in that region. Maybe the covering for that Old Oil well gave way due to pressure with time. Then sea water entered and filledup that well. Or the sea water could also have entered the pure water system inland. How can all this be verified ? If the sea water in these areas doesn't reach to its normal levels is say three months or so, then this probably is adequate proof. If the sea water entered coastal fresh water system, then salty water in the land close to these areas would prove it. Otherwise, I am afraid we have to assume an unknown X Factor in this case and keep our fingers crossed. Comments, opinions and other speculations are welcome. Even those arguements against my ideas are welcome as this will result in good discussion and a great learning experience for all.

If this is true then we must see newsreports that sea water level in these areas is back to normal again in a few weeks. Vijay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 well, wots the followup? all i see is that one story, with the water slippin away.. as far as we know, everything is back to normal ya gotta figure, with the tsunami all over the news, anything REMOTELY similar is gonna get folks freaked out i doubt it could be a well... 1. it doesn't work that way(not like there are huge holes left behind) 2. if there was a larg hole that filled, enough to drop that much water level, you'd get a whirlpool even if you couldn't see it(due to the fog), you'd be able to hear it... lunar effects are going to be much more noticable in places like the Med, which is relatively shallow, as compared to say, the picific ocean, which is huge and deep..and if we notice a higher tide here..well then again..just guessing rvijay07 Jan 16, 2005 11:21 AM Re: Turkey: 3 Meters Fall in Sea Level. , "fraggle" <EBbrewpunx@e...> wrote:> > i wonder....> at the beginning of the week, the moon, sun and earth were in syzygy> (basically all in a line)...> here they were worried about high tides..especially since it had > rained all weekend...> we always get floods in one part of SJ when we get this high high tide> > anyways...> if it a higher then normal high tide in my part of the world, would > it make sense to have a lower then normal low tide in turkey?> tis the opposite side of world....> (I don't believe that condensation alone can do this.)Such events must as significant drop in sea level must have occured before also then.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 as far as i know, it already is if not, it would be all over the place, you'd have scientists flying there, lookin at all these ships high and dry the news focuses on the bad, and wot is happening NOW have you seen anything else about this?? my assumption was its already back to normal..one shot thing... rvijay07 Jan 16, 2005 11:30 AM Re: Turkey: 3 Meters Fall in Sea Level. , "Jo Cwazy" <heartwork@c...> wrote:> It would seem to be logical.> > Jo> > anyways...> > if it a higher then normal high tide in my part of the world, would > > it make sense to have a lower then normal low tide in turkey?> > tis the opposite side of world....If this is true then we must see newsreports that sea water level in these areas is back to normal again in a few weeks.VijayTo send an email to - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something special happens in this regard, I am sure that it will be reported again. If I notice this, I will share it here. I did see some news in regards to rising levels due to high tides in that same area. So, you are probably correct.
