What cities in the us Virgin Islands are earthquake prone?

All cities in the Virgin Islands are earthquake prone. The islands consists of four legal towns: Christiansted and Fredriksted on St. Croix, Cruz Bay on St. John and Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas. There are quite a number of other densely populated communities, many with much more inhabitants than the cities.

The Virgin Islands is the second most earthquake prone region in the United States of America, California, of course, being number one. On average, the Virgin Islands may experience three to four earthquakes a day. Most are below 4.0 and not felt by the average person.

Most of the Virgin Islands (District of St. Thomas-St. John) is on the Caribbean Ridge, a mostly undersea chain of volcanic mountains bordering the south Atlantic plate. St. Croix and the three other islands in the St. Croix District are on the South American plate which is slowly forcing its way beneath the Atlantic/Caribbean plate.

This movement causes frequent undersea tremors, typically epi-centered just a few miles north or west of St. Thomas. St. Thomas experienced two tsunamis in the 1800's as a result of undersea earthquakes. The city of Charlotte Amalie took the brunt of both tsunamis.

All areas of the Virgin Islands are equally vulnerable to earthquake activity. More government concern is focused of the threat of tsunami. All four cities in the Virgin Islands are coastal communities with larges areas at sea level and some slightly below. There are structures built on filled land, creating the concern that earthquakes cause filled land to vibrate like gelatin, destabilizing foundations.

Real time information and email alerts on Virgin Islands earthquake activity can be obtained through a local government agency called VITEMA (Virgin Island Emergency Management Agency). See the related link for their website.

If you are a male virgin in college and a group of girls asks you if you are a virgin should you tell the truth?

yes if there one of those nice people who want it. no if there one one of the popular/cool people. ---- It depends on why you're still a virgin. If you're saving yourself for marriage, for purely moral reasons, be proud that you have maintained your chastity. In today's world it is difficult to remain morally chaste. One reason is that there are external pressures. The entertainment industry portrays illicit sex as glamorous, pleasurable, and adult, while virtually ignoring its negative consequences. Often movies and television shows depict sexual relations in a context of casual, noncommitted relationships. Many have been exposed to such messages from childhood. Moreover, there is strong peer pressure to conform to today's liberal moral climate, and those who do not are sometimes mocked or even reviled. 1 Peter 4:4 states: "Because YOU do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of YOU". So, people will try to change you mind or tease you. Casual sex doesn't make you more of a man, regardless of what others may say. If you truly wish to remain chaste, tell this group of girls that you're 'saving your self' and if they want to know why, tell them you'll gladly share your Bible-based beliefs with them in a public, group setting. *** If you are just shy or socially awkward and are frightened by peer-pressure, you'll have to decide what you want to tell them, to avoid more social embarassment. What ever you decide, remember, this is really none of their business.
