With the massive magnitude-8.8 earthquake that struck south-central Chile Saturday night, the earthquake measuring 6.9 magnitude on the Richter scale off of Japan Friday and the Haitian 7.0 earthquake on January 12. What is happening!
I think that this latest series of earthquakes started back in 2004 with the massive 9.1 earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia that triggered the tsunami. I believe that we are in a period of tectonic plates’ readjustment. That until the plates reach another point of lower stress that we are going to have these massive quakes around the world and I think a big California earthquake is even more likely.
It is known that earthquakes come in cycles and for a long time there was a lull in magnitude 7 and above earthquakes. Now the earth is coming into another active cycle that may last over a decade.
