No. Too far away and earthquakes come from below, not from activity on the surface, no matter how far in a cave NK set off the bomb. Now environmental consequences are another story - that could affect us all.

The island of Hawaii is part of a chain of volcanoes. It’s what’s known as the Hawaiian hotspot. Gradually as the earth’s crust moves over those volcanoes, it builds up islands and then gradually erodes them away. The island of Hawaii is the latest site over that hotspot. Because of the volcanic activity and the building of these islands, there [are] extra stresses on the [Pacific] plates.

You kow what. I think it might be. When ever there is a big EQ, if you look in last 3 weeks of it, you will find some kind of nuclear testing, or a smaller EQ in another part of the world. I think plates are connected in some kind of weird form that we do not yet know about.

no because the earthquakes generated from 12 miles below sea level and also there was no nuclear activity recorded at the time of the quake

No, the earthquake was related to the islands themselves. Such pressure on the plates created a small rupture is what I heard (or something like it) on Discovery.

It is not, but it certainly connect with what happened in Indonesia couple of months ago...the plates underneath the sea are moving and it really changes the surface of the earth...volcano's erupts...earthquakes...tsunami's...i can't imagine what's next...

If you want to make an artificial earthquake in the ocean, i think it must need a high explosive bomb.

nope, but then there are no tectonic plates in the hawaiian islands....there earthquakes are usually related to volcanic activity.

Yes. Both occurred on the same planet.
