Appalachian earthquake from its early created roots shakes the East,
Appalachian geological Roots have been Deeply Buried many Years,
They will create many earthquakes along the Appalachians Chain,
Following the FIRST great earthquake in the book of Revelation!

Revelation 6:12 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; [
Mountains are produced by forces in the earth that cause parts of the earth’s crust to rise while others sink. Uplift of the crust, combined with chemical and physical erosion by air, water, and ice over many years, produces the spectacular scenery found in mountains.
At the very high temperatures and pressures found miles below the earth’s surface, rocks can actually flow when density differences are produced by differential heating and cooling of parts of the mantle and lithosphere. The flowing of rocks in the mantle and lithosphere subjects parts of the crust to pulling apart tension, while other parts are subjected to squeezing together.
Rocks are relatively weak and brittle under tension and, as a consequence, crust under tension tends to break up into giant blocks. Rocks are stronger under compression but when the compressive forces get very large, rocks deform by flowing, folding, and breaking.
The Appalachian Mountain Range is much older than the Rocky Mountain Chain, and many more years of chemical and physical erosion by exposure to air, ice, and water have eroded their height. Many geologists, and I agree with them, believe the EARLY block lifting of the Appalachians was associated with volcanic activity along its length, accompanied by creation of multiple fault lines and earthquakes.
As the soil eroded it has been carried into the Atlantic Ocean for many years by the hydrological cycle, and the weight lifted from above the early root foundation of the mountain chain caused one of the subterranean faults to suddenly release along its long held pressure buildup, which had been blocking the release, and the east felt its release in an earthquake.
When the Tribulation Period begins with the opening of the sixth Revelation seal, it will eventually lead to large earthquakes from this effect along and either side from eastern Tennessee to eastern Canada.

A 5.8 earthquake in Virginia was felt in Washington, New York City and North Carolina this afternoon.
Buildings swayed, and damage reports began trickling in within minutes of the largest quake in Virginia in more than a century.
The quake rocked Virginia at 1:51 p.m., and authorities said the epicenter appeared to be in Louisa County, about 40 miles northwest of Richmond. The epicenter is not far from Dominion Virginia Power’s North Anna nuclear plant, where the earthquake knocked out power, but the both nuclear units were shut down without incident and no damage was apparent, Dominion said.
“We did lose on-site power, but all the diesel generators are up and running,” Dominion spokesman Richard Zuercher said 30 minutes after the quake.
“Everything appears to be operating just fine.”
Zuercher said North Anna’s operators were preparing to manually shut down the units after the quake when the power station’ s operating
system automatically powered down both units.
The quake _ the largest in Virginia since May 5, 1897, according to the U.S. Geological Survey _ shook buildings and employees were ordered outside across Richmond and other cities in Virginia. Within minutes, Richmond police began receiving calls about possible property damage.
Those calls included a possible stairwell collapse along North First Street downtown, a possible wall collapse along East Broad Street in the city’s East End and a possible wall collapse at a structure along Hioaks Road in South Richmond _ as well as numerous reports of possible gas leaks.
While many of the calls proved unfounded, they kept emergency crews busy throughout the affternoon.
Authorities report no known significant damage or injuries in the counties of Amelia, Charles, Cumberland, Goochland, King and Queen, New Kent and Powhatan and the cities of Petersburg, Colonial Heights and Hopewell.
William Harper, an employee with the town of Mineral in Louisa County, reported “some building damage” at the municipal offices, where the telephones were ringing constantly.
