Quake kills 45 in Pakistan, creates new island in sea
(Reuters) - A major earthquake hit a remote part of western Pakistan on Tuesday, killing at least 45 people and prompting a new island to rise from the sea just off the country's southern coast.
Tremors were felt as far away as the Indian capital of New Delhi, hundreds of miles to the east, where buildings shook, as well as the sprawling port city of Karachi in Pakistan.
The United States Geological Survey said the 7.8 magnitude quake struck 145 miles southeast of Dalbandin in Pakistan's quake-prone province of Baluchistan, which borders Iran.
The earthquake was so powerful that it caused the seabed to rise and create a small, mountain-like island about 600 meters (yards) off Pakistan's Gwadar coastline in the Arabian Sea.
Television channels showed images of a stretch of rocky terrain rising above the sea level, with a crowd of bewildered people gathering on the shore to witness the rare phenomenon.
Officials said scores of mud houses were destroyed by aftershocks in the thinly populated mountainous area near the quake epicenter in Baluchistan, a huge barren province of deserts and rugged mountains.

My instinct tells me that the displacement of water would be biblical.. Tidal waves, tsunamis,, etc... The Tsunami in India that killed thousands just years ago were cause by a shift in the ocean floor of less than 15 ft. So a 100 ft. land mass, rising from the sea would be catastrophic. Please tell me if my instincts are wrong... Are those Beaches, I see???

I don't know at what speed it rose out of the ocean, imo (whatever that's worth) that should make all the difference in the world, I think the tsunami alerts would be heard everywhere by now if a big wave was spotted, its a few hours ago already, so maybe its not as bad as it possibly could be, thank god.

really depends on how large of an area is affected as well, the size of that island doesn't look big enough to cause a tsunami of any significants

This is a huge story in my humble opinion.
I am not surprised of its slow delivery to MSM. Our Archons have suppressed our true history and origins from us for centuries on end.
Why would they want us to know that a relatively small earthquake produced a small landmass to rise from the ocean floor only to give more credence to ancient historical accounts of Atlantis and Lemuria.
This only adds more scientific weight and unduly obvious credibility to the collective concscience that yes, it is more than possible that land masses can rise and fall due to earth upheavals. And hell, it doesn't even need to be as massive as one might think!
Amazing time we live in!
This is going to help with the "awakening".

Amazing! I wish there was a vid of it actually rising up out of the sea.
The USGS are such dolts. I read they said it was nothing too spectacular - everyone back to sleep.
I like geology, it is a bit of a hobby for me, and I have never heard of such an event or any science that could explain it. It has never happened before as far as I know. Velikovsky claimed mountains had nothing to do with techtonic plates but, instead, the near approach of asteroids or other heavenly bodies. Found that a bit far fetched but then again I find the current theories lacking as well.
But, that the mainstream media did not go out there to film this again speaks volumes about our so-called news media.

yes THAT is what happened, now I know why my whole beingness shifted and I felt like I was completely part of the whole of earth like in the body but everywhere else too. I put a post up about it. It happened a second time after that. So I know what happened. This beingness is keeping the earth stable and that is why there is no Tsunami's ... could be the collective awareness is allowing the planet expand and get bigger without damaging it. I said we can do this.
Well I have to stay in in Asia to keep it safe while everything is expanding. I'll have to change my plans for going to Ecuador, I mean at least for now.

QUETTA:
Fishermen reported on Friday the emergence of a mud volcano three kilometers off Balochistan’s coast overlooking the Hingol area, about 15o kilometres from the port town of Ormara.
According to local fishermen, a three-kilometre wide and 300-feet high island of mud sludge emerged off the coast. This area administratively falls under the jurisdiction of the Lasbela district.
A number of fishermen arrived there and hoisted flags while the others tried to salvage some fishing vessels which were trapped in the newly-emerged island.
They said that this kind of landmass had first emerged in 2004 and the Maritime Security Agency had taken control of it. However, the island disappeared after three months because of certain geographical changes.
According to locals, the island was three-kilometre-long island was called ‘Peer Ghaib’ after it disappeared. A mud volcano is formed when fluidised soft mud is expelled at high rates.
There are several clusters of mud volcanoes in Balochistan, mostly near Hingol, Gwadar, Pasni, Ormara and elsewhere in Lasbela district.

It has never happened before as far as I know.
New islands do sometimes appear, often to slip beneath the waves again some time later. The image below is from 2010, when an island arose from the Arabian Sea off the southern coast of Pakistan.
Older residents of the coastal town of Gwadar, Pakistan told NBCNews.com that a 1968 earthquake produced an island that stayed for one year and then vanished (Ali Mohammad, 60, and Azeem Baloch, 57). Still earlier, an earthquake in this same region in the 1940s produced an island that was solid enough for people to walk on, but it washed away within weeks.
http://en.es-static.us/upl/2013/09/island-arabian-sea-2010-NASA.jpg
New islands do rise from the sea floor on occasion. Image on left shows an island that appeared on November 26, 2010, also formed by a mud volcano, off Balochistan, Pakistan. Image on right shows the same spot about a year earlier.
Source: earthsky.org/earth/powerful-7-8-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-pakistan-today (http://earthsky.org/earth/powerful-7-8-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-pakistan-today)
"Sandy layers underground are shaken, and sand grains jiggle and become more compact,"John Armbruster, a seismologist at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University told NBC News. The shifting sand layers are compacted and pressurize the water, which gushed upwards, carrying mud and sand along with it.
This "liquefaction" of sand and mud layers take place after any earthquake, but these sudden islands are usually spotted after strong earthquakes, at least 7- or 8-magnitude events. The distance of the island from the epicenter of the quake is "a little bit surprising,"
Armbruster said, granted that "the sediments are quite soft and susceptible to this."
While mud volcanoes are typical of watery, loose sediments layers off the coast of Baluchistan, more substantial instant islands — or "land uprisings" — do suddenly appear in other parts of the world, Stephan Graham, a geologist at Stanford University told NBC News.
They're typically seen along fault lines where one tectonic plate slides under another, like the hungry subduction zone under New Zealand. Fault lines like the San Andreas, at which the Pacific Plate and the North American plates slide past each other sideways, are less likely to see such upcrops, Graham said.
It also takes a pretty sizable earthquake to push up an entirely new land feature. "You wouldn't expect to see it in a 3- or 4-magnitude [quake]," Graham said, it would take a stronger temblor of 7 or 8 magnitude to change the landscape.

Thanks Bill. I should have been more precise with the language.
That island was formed by what we understand to be magma domes beneath the crust. When the dome reaches an area where the crust is thin enough it can produce an underwater volcano that then produces an island.
But that is not what is happening in Pakistan, right? There is no volcano there, only subduction zones. I did not know it had already happened before in that same area (thanks buares). Learn something new every day...

so the island is real, but the video of the people and flags is false...
Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- An earthquake in Pakistan, powerful enough to prompt the appearance of a small island off the coast, has killed more than 200 people, Pakistani officials said.
The 7.7-magnitude quake struck in a remote area of southwestern Pakistan on Tuesday, but it had severe consequences.
At least 208 people were killed in the district of Awaran and the city of Turbut in Balochistan province, Asad Gilani, the provincial home secretary, said Wednesday.
In addition to the fatalities, around 350 people have been injured, he said, and more people are still trapped in rubble.
The quake was strong enough to cause a mass 20 to 30 feet high to emerge from the Arabian Sea like a small mountain island off the coast of Gwadar, local police official Mozzam Jah said. A large number of people gathered to view the newly formed island, he said.

-------
A clarification (I think!):
From CNN yesterday (http://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/24/world/asia/pakistan-earthquake):
The quake was strong enough to cause a mass 20 to 30 feet high to emerge from the Arabian Sea like a small mountain island off the coast of Gwadar, local police official Mozzam Jah said. A large number of people gathered to view the newly formed island, he said.
Large quakes can cause significant deformation to the earth's crust, particularly visible along coastlines.
The island is about 100 feet in diameter and about one mile off the coast, GEO TV reported.
Zahid Rafi, principal seismologist for the National Seismic Monitoring Center, confirmed the island had formed. He said it was "not surprising," considering the magnitude of the earthquake.
But John Bellini, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said that generally it would be unlikely for such a large island to emerge from a quake like Tuesday's.
Many things, such as the tide, could come into play regarding the rise of the island, he said.
So, what this means is (I think -- subject to Avalon peer review!):
Yesterday's new island was real. But the video (that was shown by Dunchsinse) may have been of of an earlier new island, formed in 2010.

Professor Shamim Ahmed Shaikh, chairman of the department of geology at Karachi University, said the island, which has not been named, would disperse within a couple of months.
He said it happens along the Makran coast because of the complex relationship between tectonic plates in the area. Pakistan sits close to the junction of three plates — the Indian, Arabian and Eurasian.
“About a year back an island of almost similar size had surfaced at the similar distance from the coast in the Makran region. This would disperse in a week to a couple of months,” Shaikh told AFP.

In 1945, the Makran earthquake in Pakistan triggered the sudden emergence of three offshore mud volcanoes, and in March 1999 a mud volcano rose out of the water overnight to form Malan Island, 3 kilometres from Pakistan's coast.

Hi,
(first post) "when in our lifetime has a quake caused an island to rise in one day ??? this is huge"
This is being widely reported now & is known as a "ripple effect" some call this a tectonic ripple in volcanology & rock strata research.
This was akin to *your God whoever he might be shaking his duvet" ;).. with the 7.9 magnitude quake literally forcing the sea bed too rise up.
Its currently emitting methane hampering scientists compositional studies/investigation but isn't unheard of with similar now disappeared/settled back ripples/isle like appearances occurring last in the 1940,s.

The world's freshest real estate: Massive Pakistani earthquake heaves a brand new 18 meter high island above the waves
The mountain-like island appeared 600m off Pakistan's Gwadar coast
The earthquake triggered a movement of gases in the earth under the sea
This pushed earth up to the surface in something akin to a 'mud volcano'
Such land masses have appeared after quakes in Pakistan in 1999 and 2010
Here is a story about the island from the Mail Online that reports recent history of other *land masses* that have arisen as a result of big earthquake activity
By the way, Reuters actually got the story going a day ago over the wires - Reuters being a news service that is owned and syndicated through the msm.

Geologist Dave Petley, a landslide expert, thinks the island's low, arcuate (or bow) shape — as seen in the few pictures released so far — suggests a rotational landslide, rather than a conical mud volcano. A rotational landslide moves along a rupture surface that is curved or concave, like the inside of a spoon.
"We will need to wait until the morning to know. It is really very strange, and the pictures are just too indistinct to be able to tell," said Petley, a professor at Durham University in the United Kingdom.

"Some think the island was there before the earthquake, and that would be very easy to check by looking at satellite photos of that area taken the week prior," said James Hein, a senior scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Santa Cruz, Calif.
