Yup, nothing to see here, move along now.
I wonder how many of the faults on this map were created in the last 
century?

there has been quite extensive study and testing related to nuke
explosions and earthquakes , as you may imagine.
(  ie:  http://bssa.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/79/4/1142
) 

 measuring / detecting  the difference between the two is a simple
matter, scientifically speaking. truckloads / worlds of data and
studies exist.


think about it .... if explosions could cause quake faults , 
 quake zones or even " echo spectra " after quake phenomena
then  Plutonium Valley  ( the NTS ) would look like a shattered car
windshield  , fault wise , and would quite literally " swarm " with
little quakes , tremors , fumaroles etc.  ( tho it never does ). 

in the Plutonium Valley , thousands of extremely massive explosions ,
both surface and  miles into the earth's crust  ...... explosions of a
size quite unimaginable to average intelligent humans  ........ have
taken place with ' absolutely " no detected seismic fault generations
, after quakes or current seismic related  activity of any kind.  even
in the few places where the government intentionally drilled and nuked
a fault line ..... nothing happened there either. all this suggesting
that it would take force  beyond our wildest current abilities to
generate with any known  nuclear device,  to actually disturb the
earth's crust in some measurable lasting way. 

people have always worried about stuff like this ........

but in fact no seismic  activity appears to relate to any of ways we
have abused the poor surface of planet under us .... even the
potential rad leaks   ( like mentioned above related to faults and
fracture zones )  haven't materialized ( yet anyway ) .

of course ,  our experience with  the side effects of the large 
" deep water "  giant nuke blasts is a totally different story . 
h ha haha ah

These little quakes may just be "ring of fire" side effects from all the 
recent quake activity over in Indonesia and Taiwan.

the problem with a large number of the " quakes " mentioned in the
USGS site in Nevada is that they happened at zero miles depth.
on the surface , in other words.  earthquakes don't happen on just the
surface .   it's hard to say about some of the other stuff , tho many
of them are listed at  depths of known  Yucca Mountain tunnels  .....
but hey !!  ... we'll actually NEVER know the reality of any of this
... most likely   ......   ha ha ha haah ahaha

it's fun to speculate tho ..........

take a look at the satellite map of the shocking  pockmarked NTS and 
reflect on the numbers and sizes of the explosions that have taken
place there ...... if none of  THAT has caused any lasting seismic
crust  disturbances ,  then the ( in comparison ) piddley  little
explosions  we are doing these days aren't going to  have any impact
as well.

think of this too ......... if there are " surface " seismic " events
"  and seemingly related  subsurface ( real  earth seismic events )
then it's highly unlikely it's ( something   even as big as a massive
nuclear ) a  bomb causing it.  if it's actually happening  ( why we
should  keep looking for  this stuff  ) .. then it's something NEW
...... stuff we don't yet know about ... and stuff with force / power 
beyond our wildest thoughts ( considering our experience of the nuke
past ) .   

interesting stuff ..........




( of course , after this thread .........  we'll probably never see  <
accurate >  quake data in the Nellis area displayed again  
ya yay ah ha ha haah   )
