There has been a tremendous number of earthquakes that began early during 14-Nov, 0630 UTC, and are ongoing at this moment.

More than 30 moderate earthquakes ranging from magnitude 4.5 to 5.4 have rattled under the sea where the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea meet at a point off of Yemen.

The depths have been mostly around 10 km, with a few deeper.

A closer look reveals something that appears highly unusual. That is, so far at least 20 of the earthquakes have been at a depth of exactly 10.0 km.

There is a triple-point spreading center in the region. There probably is magma moving into it, causing the earthquakes.
