9/56 YEAR CYCLE: NEW MEXICAN EARTHQUAKES: 1890-2005

MOON SUN FINANCE

Appendix for the paper 9/56 year Cycles: Earthquakes & Volcanoes.

The New Mexico Tech Seismic Network listed some 29 New Mexican earthquakes (mag =>4.5) that occurred since 1890 (see Table A). Of this figure, 21 took place in the 12 months beginning February 1 of those years in the 9/56 year patterns as presented in Table B this appendix (significant p < .001). However, the outcome may be biased, as the grid includes the years 1906 and 1938, each of which experienced 5 notable quakes.
