Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated

You are right

My understanding is that when all of the 3-range magnitude quakes started 'popping up' was when EMSC added a Mexico seismic network to their list. Meaning these quakes have been taking place longer than we've been recording them on this thread because they weren't showing up on EMSC (or USGS) until last year when EMSC added the Mexico network to theirs.

Something along those lines : )

You are right

thank you
.c.c 3,4,5-range …. and no one knows the cause? btw many countries including IRAN have subs and ships in the same area as the earthquakes.

Hmmm, hard to say without really looking into each earthquake. It's possible that some are and some aren't. I think we would need to look at the seismos for each to be able to determine that.

Check out these two links...

Situated atop three of the large tectonic plates that constitute the earth's surface, Mexico is one of the most seismologically active regions on earth. The motion of these plates causes earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Most of the Mexican landmass rests on the westward moving North American plate. The Pacific Ocean floor off southern Mexico, however, is being carried northeast by the underlying motion of the Cocos plate. Ocean floor material is relatively dense; when it strikes the lighter granite of the Mexican landmass, the ocean floor is forced under the landmass, creating the deep Middle American trench that lies off Mexico's southern coast. The westward moving land atop the North American plate is slowed and crumpled where it meets the Cocos plate, creating the mountain ranges of southern Mexico. The subduction of the Cocos plate accounts for the frequency of earthquakes near Mexico's southern coast. As the rocks constituting the ocean floor are forced down, they melt, and the molten material is forced up through weaknesses in the surface rock, creating the volcanoes in the Cordillera Neovolcánica across central Mexico.

There will come a day they all go off

Anyone noticing non stop fires in the west, non stop rain in the east , non stop lava flow Hawaii and EQs Alaska

Yup.......600 fires burning in British Columbia right now.....

And very poor air quality in Vancouver from all the smoke......

hah!

probably a territorial dispute - trying to fill the other fishes hole with sand

house cleaning tip:

these "baby wipes" from Amazon, quantity 480,,,are super cheap, strong, and you can choose scent etc. only .02 cents each. I use them for dusting / floors, push around with a Swiffer mop on the floor,,,,bathroom / kitchen / everywhere, plus can be used for personal care.
Store the container upside down, as the top tends to dry out and you want the moisture on top when pulling them out. So cheap you can use them everywhere and just throw them out...
almost 18000 reviews....
