The Ring of Fire is becoming more and more active these recent months, with several major eruptions, as well as at least a few major quakes of magnitude 6.5 or higher. In fact, Mt. Helens itself is starting to ramp up in activity, with many earthquakes that have been recorded there over the last week or so. And now the question becomes... "Is there something more serious on the horizon?" Is all of this activity just a coincidence? I seriously doubt it. While the ring of fire (around the Asian & North American continents) is pretty active just about always, these recent times it has been even more so. I am not sure about how many quakes there have been very recently; However, the amount of eruptions in particular, have become more and more common, at an alarming rate. Will Yellowstone now start to rumble more and more? And does this not alarm any of the readers?! We are overdue for that explosion, you know?
