Do you mind telling me what a “swarm” is?

[CaribouCrossing]

I believe they are referring to continuous earthquake activity....or a “swarm” of earthquakes, if you will.

I am certainly no earthquake expert but I think a “swarm” is a lot of very small tremors in a short period of time.

Well, it doesn’t sound like bees or locusts....

I had no clue what the title was referring to, not being familiar with USGS terminology.

Perhaps the mods could do something with the title so that people will know it’s about volcanoes?
