“53 Major Earthquakes ... Just Hit The Ring Of Fire In A 24 Hour Period”
That is odd. Usually there are more than 53 every day. Not all are major. What is the seismic breakpoint on major vs. minor ?

The SECOND sentence in the article:
The USGS defines any earthquake of at least magnitude 4.5 as "significant", and there were 53 earthquakes that met that criteria along the Ring of Fire on Sunday alone.
