Abstract: A measured laminations on the universal hyperbolic solenoid $S$ is, by our definition, a leafwise measured lamination with appropriate continuity for the transverse variations. An earthquakes on theuniversal hyperbolic solenoid $S$ is uniquely determined by a measured lamination on $S$; it is a leafwise earthquake with the leafwise earthquake measure equal to the leafwise measured lamination. Leafwise earthquakes fit together to produce a new hyperbolic metric on $S$ which is transversely continuous and we show that any two hyperbolic metrics on $S$ are connected by an earthquake. We also establish the space of projective measured lamination $PML(S)$ as a natural Thurston-type boundary to the Teichm"uller space $T(S)$ of the universal hyperbolic solenoid $S$. The (baseleaf preserving) mapping class group $MC{G}_{BLP}(S)$ acts continuously on the closure $T(S)cupPML(S)$ of $T(S)$. Moreover, the set of transversely locally constant measured laminations on $S$ is dense in $ML(S)$.
