Timelapse video and article showing huge EQ uptick in April!
Didn't it seem to you that the ground was exceptionally shaky last month?

That there were reports on big earthquakes happening somewhere pretty much every week? It wasn't just your imagination: April produced a higher-than-normal number of moderate-to-large earthquakes, and you can see it for yourself.

According to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC), which issues alerts for tsunamis, April was a very busy month for the earth's crust. This April there were 13, including five that were higher than 7.8, prompting tsunami warnings. "Easily a record for this institution," reports PTWC.

While a higher frequency of moderate-to-large earthquakes is not necessarily "good", having and hearing about earthquakes that people can actually feel does help to remind cities how important it is to be prepared. So maybe the little extra trembling nudged at least a few people towards better safety and awareness.

Pretty amazing! Maybe earthquakes are seasonal? Seems a lot of big ones happen early in the year, several in March-May.

From the article -

According to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC), which issues alerts for tsunamis, April was a very busy month for the earth's crust. Of course there are earthquakes every hour of every day, but the world usually only sees one or two earthquakes per month that are 6.5-magnitude or higher. This April there were 13, including five that were higher than 7.8, prompting tsunami warnings. "Easily a record for this institution," reports PTWC.

Re: Timelapse video and article showing huge EQ uptick in April!
Clearly looks like dynamic triggering to me!

Here's what the "experts" think about that "theory":

In any case, the latter possibility is what got experts like Stein and Lay wondering if the Chilean quake had triggered others. A 7.2 on Mexico’s Pacific Coast on April 18 and a 7.5 off Papua New Guinea two days later were the latest to get attention.

Doing a quick review of quakes magnitude 6 or larger and which struck within the upper 43 miles (70 kilometers) of Earth’s crust, Lay found an uptick when comparing April 1-18 to the first three months of 2014. But the increase wasn’t significant, so the question remained: Did dynamic triggering play a role, or was that just random chance? "That’s a harder problem to answer," Lay said.

Seismic wave data from the Chilean quake was studied by UC Santa Cruz grad students to see if it might have triggered one in Nicaragua nine days later. "We did not see anything obvious," Professor Emily Brodsky said of her team’s work.

Stein, like Lay, also counted quakes but looked instead at moderate and large quakes (4.5 magnitude or greater) in the 10 days before and after the April 1 quake that struck Iquique, Chile. In his email to peers, Stein concluded: "I do not see a global increase in activity post-Iquique, at least for moderate and larger quakes — the ones that matter for hazards."

"Seemed like a lot of big quakes" after Iquique, he later told NBC News, "but it's largely an illusion."
