Recent Earthquakes - Last 8-30 Days
Earthquake activity in the last 8 to 30 days

There is an increase in seismic activity.  The plates are moving and volcanoes are becoming active.  This may go along with my post regarding skyquakes and the core of the earth becoming unstable.

Here is a link for the volcanic activity for this past month... Volcano
