The Earth's revolt against Nuclear testing?
The thought ocurred to me about the testing of nuclear weapons undersea and a link to the Earthquake that caused the tsunamis....makes you think about the possibility

Nope. If Nuclear weapons had owt to do with it, then the fracturing of the lithosphere would have occurred earlier. Less stress would have been built up, the release of energy would have been less and the force of the tsunami would have been weaker.

There's a possibility that nuclear weapons activity might trigger an earthquake, but I'm pretty sure that the earthquake would have to happen almost instantaneously after an explosion to be linked convincingly. The physics of plate tectonics is no different to the physics of any inelastic material subjected to stress. It's just big!
Basically, you won't get an earthquake unless massive stress is built up in gigantic areas of crust, and the stress is relieved catastrophically by snapping of the material of the crust. That's what an earthquake IS. Sometimes the stress is relieved gradually by hundreds of thousands of minor 'quakes, if the material of the crust in that area is not very strong. Sometimes the stress builds up massively until there is an enormous failure.. like the one that has caused the tsunami.

I'm sure nuclear weapons weren't around when Pompeii went under. Although, who is to say that Nuclear Weapons didn't wipe out a previous civilisation

What about a Meteorite
Surely this would have been covered up to dispell mass panic
well it happened in Tunguska!!!

Tgs, is your keyboard broken? Maybe it's from being used to post too many completley worthless posts such as the one above! 
Oh and don't bother getting a huff on and copying and pasting summat you found on google, I'm not interested and I won't understand it anyway! Also, I didn't for one moment think or suggest that nuclear weapons cause earthquakes, I merely wondered if it could helped the process along.

to be fair bob, I rememeber reading about how things like small shocks (compared to an earthquake an nuke is a small shock) can actually reduce the chance of a quake as its making the plates move a little at a time instead of a huge amount at once.
This was a study in los angeles on the San andreas fault and one hypothesis was that small nukes in the plate from time to time might prevent a quake from happening.

The quake happened on the same fault line as Krakatoa (which exploded way before nukes were invented in 1883). Also there was another quake on the same faultline but further South earlier last year.
It's a pretty active bit of geology...

what sort of post is that???
"dont bother pasting".....i hardly copied a lot of info! anyone that did geog at school knows the basics of this stuff....and those that dont look it up.
the fact you're uninterested and a retard that wouldnt understand anyway is hardly the fault of me, google or the earths crust.
