Astronomical Alignments As The Cause Of Increased Seismic Activity.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE BIG EARTHQUAKE?

The New Zealand area is having a swarm of quakes that, layer-upon-layer seem to be never-ending.  The assault on their area of the globe seems to be something that is continuous with very few breaks between swarms.  What might be the cause of these quakes and how much have the continents moved due to the uptick in seismic activity?

What might be the cause of the uptick in earthquakes around the globe?  Here is a paper that has an interesting theory on the subject.  Take a quick read of this excerpt and tell me what you think.

In other words, this paper talks about Comet Elenin, planetary alignment, and other astrological events that are a possible cause for the uptick in seismic activity.  What do you think?

ARE YOU PREPARED? 

THIS IS FROM THE CDC WEBSITE INDICATING WHAT YOU SHOULD DO/HAVE IN CASE OF AN EARTHQUAKE.
