I still think the earth’s plates a moving more in recent times, hence all the volcano eruptions and earthquakes lately.

I think there only seem to be more volcanoes and earthquakes lately, because with modern communications, we hear about them immediately, even small events from anywhere on the planet.

In the past, it had to be a large event for it to make the news, and get put in the papers.
