Charleston 1
Staff Reports
The 1886 earthquake that leveled
Charleston was no isolated seismic
incident, according to a USC researcher.
Dr. Pradeep Talwani, a professor in
USC's department of geological sciences
who specializes in South Carolina's
seismic activity, says the 1886 quake
followed a pattern of tremors of similar
magnitude that have shaken the South
Carolina costal plain on a fairly regular
basis for the past 6,000 years.
According to Talwani's research paper,
"Prehistoric Earthquakes in the South
Carolina Coastal Plain," presented Oct.
30 at the Geological Society of America's
annual meeting in Denver, evidence

fearful of crime, when younger people
are more at risk," Stephens said in a
press release. "Most street crimes involve
young people, both as the perpetrators
of crimes and as the victims. Older people
are more fearful of crime because they
are more likely to watch crime on
television, which makes them feel more
vulnerable."

feelings on the perception of increased

listory of eart
suggests the Charleston area has endured
at least seven earthquakes of magnitude
seven or higher in the past 6,000 years.
Evidence gathered by the U.S.
Geological Survey and Ebasco Services,
together with USC, further suggests that
the effects of these massive quakes were
concentrated primarily in the area that
is now South Carolina. Both Georgia
and North Carolina are free of the
overwhelming prehistoric evidence present
in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Talwani based his research on the
existence of "sand blows," basins created
when sand and water are forced up
through the ground during major
earthquakes. These sand blows become
crime, with 59 percent of men saying
they felt crime had increased and nearly
59 percent of women agreeing.
The report found a dramatic' disparity
between men's and women's concerns
about personal safety, however. According
to the study, 74.5 percent of men were
more concerned about their personal
safety than they were five years ago,
while 87 percent of women reported being
more concerned about personal safety.

hquakes goe
geologic time capsules, collecting wood
and organic material that future
researchers use to determine the
approximate year of an earthquake.
Uarbon dating ot tne sand blows
indicates seven points in time over the
past 6,000 years, each point representing
a major earthquake. Discounting the
1886 quake, they are, approximately,
1500 AD, 950 AD, 300 AD, 1700 BC,
3200 BC and 4000 BC.
However, not every major earthquake
would leave a trail of sand blows, Talwani
said. Because of evolutionary changes
in South Carolina's coastal groundwater
characteristics through the years, certain
time periods are not conductive to sandWhat
makes that interesting is that
women and the elderly are the least likely
victims of violent crime, Stephens said.
"People do hear a lot about so and so
being shot on Decker Boulevard and who
was murdered when," graduate student
Mike Moore said. "The media does blow
things out of proportion and that's what
takes up the first 15 minutes of every
afternoon news show and the front pages
of every newspaper."

blow formation, regardless of the
magnitude of the earthquake. The 2,000year
period from about 1700 BC to 300
AD, for example, yielded no evidence of
sand blows, Tahvani said, but that doesn't
mean uut ui mure majur quatt.es uiu nut
occur.
Using as a model the sand blows
created by the 1886 earthquake, Talwani
studied others along the South Carolina
coast and searched in Georgia and North
Carolina as well. Carbon dating
techniques enabled him to make time
connections between sand blows, some
of which were more than 100 miles apart,
thus leading him to conclude they were
caused by the same massive earthquake. ^
