No one has blamed this on fracking in Pennsylvania yet?

Worry, worry, worry.
And how long have we been “detecting” them? For a very short time in Earth’s history.
Worry, worry, worry.

People have a tendency to imagine the tectonic plates
as being two-dimensional, but they are obviously 3-dimensional
and the exact depth and deep boundaries and pretty much unknown.

"(tectonic plates) are obviously 3-dimensional and the exact depth and deep boundaries and pretty much unknown"
My question is do they float on the magma? What keeps them from surging relative to the magma? Think of India and how it moved from South Africa to where it is.

Yikes.
Dutchsinse says deep earthquakes are usually followed by shower earthquakes a magnitude of order larger.
So a 7.9 deep earthquake will likely result in a shallower 8.9 nearby. If I understand his forecasting methods correctly.
I think he just went live on twitch.

shallower earthquakes, not shower earthquakes.

Oh the article is talking about something that happened 6 years ago.

“...do they float on the magma...”
-
That is the way I visualize them.
But huge thick chunks, not thin slivers.

I imagine it’s a matter of the planet’s rotation distributing mass equally, to the extent possible.
