Methinks that the quakes might be on the rise again. Better to keep an eye out.

They sure are! Think of the Earth like a pre-cracked egg and then squeeze it. The pressure from the increasing number and size (magnitude of quakes) is evident from the Western side of the Ring of Fire - something is about to go BANG very soon me thinks ;) But WHAT is causing it? (rhetorical question) - I think we know da answer to that! ;)

HINT: Something... BELOW us?
