Boulder CO (SPX) Aug 08, 2007
A reversal of tectonic plate motion between Acapulco and Mexico City in
the last half of 2006 probably didn't ease seismic strain in the region
or the specter of a major earthquake anticipated there in the coming
decades, says a University of Colorado at Boulder professor.
Instead of creeping toward Mexico City at about one inch per year - the
expected speed from plate tectonic theory - the region near Acapulco
moved in the opposite direction for six months and sped up by four
times, said CU-Boulder aerospace engineering Professor Kristine Larson.
The changes in motion were detected by analyzing data from GPS
satellite receivers set up in Guerrero, Mexico, that were installed by
the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) under the direction
of UNAM geophysicist Vladimir Kostoglodov and augmented by CU-Boulder.

Those tectonic plates are pretty solid, alright!

Plate tectonics is deeply flawed. So it does not matter much.

So, check my arithmetic here. For six months the system is
moving at 4 inches per year. So they are talking about a 2 inch
displacement.
Are GPS measurements really accurate enough for that? I ask
because I really don't know. I was under the impression that
even in the most accurate mode that is at the limits of the
ability of the system.
So, is it reasonable to suspect that this may be noise?
