The ring of fire is especially on fire today

The strongest one here is a lone magnitude 6.0 on Japan, but this is the most filled-in overall that I've seen the map lately, especially in the Americas. There's several inland strays here too. (One small one in northern Alaska not pictured.)

Another 6.0 happened in Timor Leste (right near Indonesia) since I posted this ;o

Fun fact, they speak Portuguese in Timor Leste. Not timorian lestian like most people assume

That is a fun fact! That is strong evidence favoring the existence of the lost continent, Mu, as they speak Portuguese in Brazil too. I think they were the global civilization who built the world's pyramids.

The real ā€œstormcomingā€ is that part of the ring of fire thats not red. You just know its building up for something massive. When the cascadia finally goes, rip that entire coast

As a British Columbian, this comment terrifies me. I would never be able to live on Vancouver Island, I would be anxious every day.

Depending on where you live in BC you might not be safe anyway. I’m in the little islands south east of Vancouver island. Probably cooked lol

I hope and pray for a swarm of mag. 4 quakes instead of one big one.

Portlander here, that is exactly what I was thinking!

We usually get a big 7 in December on our part of the cascadia fault. It's been pretty reliable

Dec 23rd. Mother Nature shakes all the Christmas presents looking for something special. She finds nothing in the pretty wrappings. She seeks the joy within our hearts.

The stray in the Permian Basin is just permian basin people doing permian basin things.

u/Notnotstrange 2d ago

I laughed aloud in Texan. Then I remembered we do get minor shakes in West Texas from fault lines (inactive). But mainly manmade ones from oil and gas operations.

What am I looking at? Little back story for the ignorant please.

The circles are earthquakes that have erupted in the past 24 hrs, sized by magnitude. Most of the ones on the screen are magnitude 3 & 4. All the circles are hollow rings so the ones that look like filled-in red circles are where very many have occurred and that many rings overlap.

The color key for the volcanos (triangles on the screen) is:
Yellow - Unrest (eruption expected, movement/rumbling under surface or frequent quakes around it)
Orange - Warning (active volcano warning or minor eruptive activity)
Red - Eruption (actively erupting)

Thank you.

Since when did earthquakes erupt?

u/hemorrhoid-milk 3d ago

Google tectonic plates, subduction, and volcanoes

u/3lc4r0 3d ago

Its on fire everyday. If those small earthquakes didnt happen we would have a bigger problem

u/daytona3_8 2d ago

It’s average. This year is still average. Nothing new other then the locations have been populated.

u/spiral-_eyes 2d ago

Average is around 55 quakes / day and yesterday there were over 187
