@ Dakine:
A high or rising rate and volume of magma pressure being pushed up within the magma chambers, as we are seeing now, deforms the surrounding earth and literally bends & cracks it; creating numerous earthquakes. Many of these are small, but occasionally this magma movement produces some strong earthquakes; sometimes much more intense than yesterdays 3.0.

quote:on which you say, about this morning's earthquake, that it is 'likely due to the rapid inflation of magma pressures below the summit'. I find that interesting. And, am curious how it is that you have come to that conclusion?
