QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, if you have been right here in New Zealand, you talked about how earthquakes clustered. Is that this occurring once more?
YD
ANSWER: Oh sure. It’s been some time. Exactly. Here’s a listing of the highest 20 earthquakes, and you will notice a cluster of carefully associated quakes. The Pacific Ring of Fireplace may be very energetic with volcanoes and earthquakes all coming alive and clustering. We are going to most likely see even a 9.0 quake off the coast of Japan, most probably quickly, maybe between April and July. These occasions are inclined to cluster. Shifting the plate in a single space leads to strain in one other area. That is simply 8.0 or greater. The 1906 San Francisco April 18, 1906, quake was devastating, but it surely was 7.9.
