1. The Ring of Fire. The Pacific Rim. Get ready for a period of 'adjustment'.

[thomski64]

14. As predicted by Johnny Cash..

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. Except the two Sout American quakes were nowhere near the ring of fire. Nt

[marble falls]

20. Oh noes! About 300 miles away a 10,000+ mile ring. Difference without distinction.

[JT45242]

28. They appear to be near the caribbean plate boundary -- so different tectonic source than the others -- terms matter

Same general process but not the ring of fire.

Same problem with the "charges attraction causing it" -- nope. These quakes are the result of convection currents moving tectonic plates over the Earth's mantle. Heat and density and not electrostatics.

2. We need seismic activity all right /nt

[cachukis]

3. The world is in unrest.

[ZDU]

4. Waiting for Earth to swallow him

... just sayin'

[surfered]

5. Something's up! What has Trump done now?

[Sympthsical]

6. Well, Cheney's dead

So who's been bombing the fault lines again?

[fujiyamasan]

8. Were you here like twenty years ago?

Those were some fun threads.

[Sympthsical]

11. I am versed in the lore

I'm still stuck on the chicken wire and charcoal fluid, though.

[hamsterjill]

24. I must've missed that one.

I don't think I should ask, right? LOL

[mwmisses4289]

7. When i lived in Seattle, I had noticed that if a quake of more than five tended

to set off a chain reaction around the ring of fire. I've been through two major ones, most notably the Nisqually Quake in 2001.

[surfered]

9. USGS - latest earthquakes

10. The big brained ape has spoken and the Universe no likey very much ;) n/t

[nilram]

12. Delong Chi is on the outer, outer fringe of science, if he's there at all.

My grandmother would say he's been eating too much fruitcake. There's no evidence that interplanetary magnetic fields have an affect on earthquakes. Scanning his twitter feed, he also believes the 1969 moon landing was a movie, and that there's lava flow on the moon. I wouldn't look to him for explanations about yesterday's quakes.

[marble falls]

23. I would ...

... I need a good chuckle!

[LudwigPastorius]

29. ...and he believes black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs don't exist.

...and that the general theory of relativity is wrong, and that gravity is caused by "tiny charged particles" originating within planets.

In short, he's a pseudo-science nutball.

[Jilly_in_VA]

13. Do you ever get the feeling

that Mother Earth is trying to tell us something? Maybe we should all stop fighting, shut up, and LISTEN to her!

[Srkdqltr]

15. Im not being disrespectful. Just that a 7.5 + 7.2 that close together might be classed as 14.7? Which is horrifying.

[Fiendish Thingy]

17. As someone who survived the Loma Prieta quake

I don’t consider anything under 6.0 to be a “major quake”

[marble falls]

25. The movie: 'Earthquaknado'.

[Unwind Your Mind]

27. Agreed but

That 5.6 in Redwood valley is somewhat unusual

[RockRaven]

18. The location dot for the CA earthquake in the first image is like 600 miles off.

They put the dot down around San Diego/the US-Mexico border.

If you can't get stuff like that right on your infographic, who knows what else you screwed up...

[Sneederbunk]

19. Do you know what this means?

Neither do I.

[malaise]

21. K & R

For visibility

[Prairie Gates]

22. That's great it starts with an earthquake birds snakes and airplanes...

[dave99]

26. Wonder how solar radiation tied into it ?

[LudwigPastorius]

30. It doesn't.

The cited Twitter poster is a fabulist.

[AverageOldGuy]

31. The End Times

Electing Antichrist as President was the first warning sign,
