when this happend? ... when this happend? i was in school..... it was awesome!
i can barely see ... i can barely see that small? island
@rckn4ever ( ... @rckn4ever (whatever that means). The Cayman trench is a transform fault i.e. it moves mostly horizontally not vertically. It forms a pull-part basin which means that as the tectonic plates move apart, a ridge forms in the centre; i.e.? the bottom of the trench is rising not falling. Of course you can see small landslips along the edges, as you can with many trenches, but it is absolutely impossible for the Cayman islands to vanish in the way you are imagining.
Don't? forget the ... Don't? forget the 6.5 quake in California just days before the Haiti quake. The plates in the American hemisphere do seem to be showing a lot of activity recently.
North America and ... North America and South America are shifting. Central america is caught in the middle and is going to suffer incredible damage. All this activity in just one week? Once it lets go there could be? earthquakes of a level not yet seen or recorded. Massive tsunami's throughout the gulf of mexico & the caribean.
I would like to add ... I would like to add that if you take a closer look at the trench you can see signs of former landslides on its north wall, the southern edge of the Cayman islands. It would be akin to a house situated a top a steep hill. When a landslide occurs the soil beneath the foundation falls away first exposing the foundation which breaks under stress. Does'nt? take long after that and the house comes tumbling down the hill.
Impossible ... Impossible Blazin2guns? Hmm.. funny how they said it was impossible for the Titanic to sink as well. The Caymans rest? right along that edge. That deep trench was created by plate tectonics. Anything laying on its very edge is in a high risk zone. Major undersea landslides DO occur in these types of areas. To think that the Caymans are not in danger would be fool hardy. If the island was back far enough laying on the continental shelf then it would'nt be as bad.
WORLD JUST? ABOUT ... WORLD JUST? ABOUT TO END!
wow all you retards ... wow all you retards its the flipping cayman trench? and its impossible for us to slide down into it

Earth Quake Haiti 7.3
Cayman Islands? 5.8
more than 10 earthquakes in the carrbiean and south america in pass 1 week they from 4.0-6.4
Look at the how the ... Look at the how the Cayman Islands sit aside the top of that oceanic ridge. It looks like the whole Island could just slide south under? the ocean in one huge quake.That's a pretty deep trench along side the islands southern coastline. It looks very possible that an undersea landslide could take that island down in one piece. With the recent activity in this region I would say the Cayman islands are "Teetering on the edge" of disaster.
nothing biggg
have ... nothing biggg
have you? guys ever sit down n wondered who's next???? why??? when???
