From Holly Deo at Millenium Ark:
It's not your imagination. More earthquakes than usual have struck so far in 2010 – at least this early in the year. Because these events have clustered together in the first seven months, it has magnified the data. Whether this increased trend maintains throughout the year is the big question.
Something unique occurred July 23rd, just three days ago. Three massive earthquakes – 7.3, 7.6 and 7.4 – struck the Philippines in rapid succession, like seismic gunfire. Numerous other quakes ranging from magnitude 4.4 to 6.5 then hit the same area.
The good news – which is probably why this hasn't been reported on at length – is that these quakes occurred deeply and just off-shore. Had they erupted near the surface instead of 380 miles deep, we could have seen large tsunamis – especially with three events ripping so closely together. All struck within 67 short minutes.
See the chart at Millenium Ark that shows the percentage of increase per magnitude.
