  2. The source of these earthquakes is mostly all the radiation going on at the earth’s core, so for the man who wonders about global warming as a contributing factor, I guess I can’t see a connection, but for this: if the earth outside gets warmer, then it will be easier for the earth to make its adjustments (earthquakes) as the surface of the planet becomes logically less resistant, and more respondent to deep inner shifts. Could it also mean that the core may eventually become hotter? Remember, with all that uranium and nickel at the core, the earth will not measurably cool inwardly with all that reserve heavy metal at the center.

  3. It is interesting to see an earthquakes magnitude in a visual form like that scale shows

  4. how much greater was the recent Japanese quake
