We wouldn't want to become a satellite of say Neptune, and we'd have to be prepared for the inevitable consequences of earthquakes and
seismic sea waves and God knows what else that would ensue from the force and accompanying acceleration necessary to move our mass, but these are details.

Lay is coauthor of a paper, published in the September 20 issue of Science, analyzing the
seismic waves from the
Sea of Okhotsk earthquake.
Simons and his colleagues combined
seismic data recorded around the world, crustal movements on Japan recorded by GPS, and tsunami
waves recorded at buoys at
sea.
After investigating
seismic waves observed during the earthquake in the
Sea of Okhotsk, the researchers found the initial quake triggered four other powerful shocks, one of magnitude 7.8, one of magnitude 8.0 and two of magnitude 7.9.
Other papers in the issue examine how deep
sea sediments may affect
seismic wave readings, and evaluate how the Cascadia Initiative's data collection from ocean bottom seismometers has improved over the first three years of the study.
By refining this method, a research team led by UC Berkeley graduate student Scott French found finger - like channels of low - speed
seismic waves flowing about 120 to 220 miles below the
sea floor, and stretching out in bands about 700 miles wide and 1,400 miles apart.
To fill in the holes in the
sea level rise models, the researchers used a sensor that measures
seismic waves and tracked the glacier calving.
