Why are we suddenly seeing so much seismic activity all over the planet? Volcanoes just keep erupting one after another, and we just keep witnessing unusual earthquake swarms on major fault lines throughout the world. Last Tuesday, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake that struck along the Pacific Ring of Fire near the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia caused quite a bit of panic. Only five earthquakes that have ever been recorded have been larger than that earthquake. Subsequently, there has been some very alarming seismic instability here in the United States. For example, on Thursday a quake swarm that included a magnitude 4.3 earthquake hit southern California…
On Thursday, July 31, a preliminary 4.3 magnitude earthquake hit Southern California’s Inland Empire near Muscoy in San Bernadino, California.
According to the USGS, the earthquake was reported about 9:30 a.m. local time, with smaller earthquakes ranging from magnitudes 2.8 to 3.1 reported shortly before and after.
Those that live in southern California are tired of hearing that “the Big One” is way overdue.
