Plotting quakes for the last two days would easily identify the boundaries that the Earth's lithosphere is broken into and identify places that are regular visitors to the quake list. And, then there's central Virginia; far both in time and space from a plate boundary but shaking again. Three quakes yesterday: two @ 2.5 and one @ 2.0 shake us back to our new reality; we live in an earthquake zone.
The Pacific rim, the mid-ocean ridges shift and shimmy on: Japan, Indonesia, Kamchatka, Philippines, Chile, Central America, the Aleutians, Hispaniola, and the most active of all, the Scotia plate, are all on the list, as usual, but Virginia, to our dismay, is back on the list, as well.
Hang on Earthlings!!!
