That article,along with the quake,and after shocks where fascinating. This area has worn down mountains,compared to the West Coast Mountain peaks.

I think that it has something to do with the Pacific ring of fire that can be googled on Wikipedia. That's where there are many active volcano,earthquake,and tsunami activities.

It makes me wonder in fascination what is one mile below me,and on,and on. If I didn't have mental health issues,I could have be a scientist. I love science. BF

Keep thinking and wondering this is good for you.

I see so much difference in you.

I think this kind of thing is what you need to have to
do with your brilliant mind.

here's the link, for others curious about this:

Wikipedia: Pacific Ring of Fire

The Pacific Ring of Fire (or sometimes just the Ring of Fire) is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes.[1] It is sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt or the circum-Pacific seismic belt.
Eruption of Mount St. Helens on July 22, 1980.

About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.

yeah... if not that ancient fault... then what... i even looked at the world plate map and there aren't separate plates on the eastern areas...

you would have made a great scientist, Steve

In contrast, east of the Rockies things are less straightforward, because it is rare for earthquakes to break the ground surface. In particular, east of the Rockies, most known faults and fault lines do not appear to have anything to do with modern earthquakes. We don't know why.”

That is pretty cool, Waves.Thanks for finding that for us.

We just had a strong aftershock. If I didn't know that it was a aftershock,I'd think that a plane crashed by the house.

Things started to shake,and I heard rolling sounds,and a rumble. It disappeared very fast. Very interesting.

The cat ran for cover. BF

BF, my current 2 cats, Tigger & Bubbles, are on my profile in an album. Please introduce yourself. I talk with them about my friends here.
Haven't gotten to the dogs yet.

Guess I should be glad I'm not traveling this week. Take care. Thinking of you with prayers.
