EQ What's with all the 6.0 and greater quakes

So... I like to keep an eye on earthquakes at the USGS site, find it interesting.
Anyhow, seems like everyday their is a 6.0 or greater. It appears they have been increasing.
Is their a season where more quakes occur?
Anyone else notice the uptick?
Two yesterday, one today, and many more since the beginning of the year.
If I counted correctly, it seems as if we are way above the average for 6.0 or greater.
Thanks

3 big quakes within the last 24 hours… Are we starting to feel the latest strong solar activity?
  1. A powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake shook northwestern Papua New Guinea before dawn Monday, April 2, 2023. The temblor struck 97 kilometers (60 miles) from the coastal town of Wewak at a depth of 62 kilometers (38.5 miles), and occurred shortly after 4:04 am local time (18:04 UTC)… Now, watch the waves from the M7.0 earthquake in Papua New Guinea roll across seismic stations in North America…

  1. A few hours later, a strong M6.5 earthquake has struck the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia's Far East… Strong shaking was felt near the epicenter but there is no threat of a tsunami. The earthquake struck at 03:06 p.m. UTC on April 3, 2023, with the epicenter located about 10 kilometers from Vilyuchinsk or 28 kilometers from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the capital of the Kamchatka region… Here’s a video compilation…

  1. A M6.1 earthquake just occurred near the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia (April 3, 2023; 14:59 UTC). At 85 km depth, this event has likely produced fairly wide-spread, but low intensity shaking… People have reported shaking from as far away as Singapore…
In the last week, there was an earthquake swarm at the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming. Elsewhere, the red colored Ulawun volcano produced a new volcanic eruption while in the Galapagos Islands, the Sierra Negra volcano is showing signs of ground deformation (uplift) which is likely magmatic in origin…

If you like, you could watch Dutchsinse and Suspicious 0bservers on YouTube. Dutchsinse has a rudimentary theory on earthquake physics that he's using to predict them. He's got a fair record, though he talks a lot and can't seem to do a single video without his favorite wave clip. Suspicious 0bservers focuses on solar physics, and how it affects our planet. It's annoying when he gets caught up in bad internet behavior and has to update the audience on what rude thing someone said, and the zingers he retorted with, but the science and his approach to research are superb.

I've always liked keeping track of quakes, but not really about their timing. Last several years I've kind of thought there seemed to be more of them roughly around August each year. But this year, I've noticed a LOT of them all throungh the last few months. I figure its just fitting right in with all the other GSM "symptoms".

Everything has cycles and if my memory is working properly this morning it seems like we are in a period of slightly slower rotation and that these periods have more and stronger earthquakes.

More earthquakes with slower rotation makes sense to me because it seems like the faster it spins the tighter things would be pulled together.

I feel just the opposite about the spin! (: The faster the spin, the more things get "flung outward". That's why the earth is an oblate spheroid rather than a perfect sphere. It's diameter at the equator is slightly larger than it is at the poles.

From what I read of the whole process. I find that the earth's magnetic field has dropped way down in strength thus more solar and cosmic radiation can make it to and into the actual earth. When they get where they are going, they stop and their energy is transferred to the earth. Higher energy means more molecular movement which means expansion of each molecule which make expansion of the earth itself. Seems like that could account for lots of things, like more and/or larger quakes, and also maybe more and/or bigger volcanoes, rifts, sinkholes, etc.

I read quite some time ago where someone referred to this as "Expando-Planet" but I can't remember who it was. Maybe Stan Deyo or Clif High?????

I'd guess a huge one in CA soon.

Not surprised in the least, in the past 36 hours the earth was hit with a largish solar flare, wee took a direct hit. That solar flare hit the pacific ocean, which is good news for most of us. If you live on an island in the pacific ocean then maybe not so much.

From a distribution I posted in the 7.3 magnitude earthquake thread there are on average about 134 6.0-6.9 earthquakes every year.

In my book if the yearly average of 6.x'ers really is 134 (which works out to a bit over eleven per month), then it's still well within the average to have six 6.x'ers in one month and sixteen 6.x'ers the next month. I don't collect data on 6.x'ers because there are so many of them, but I'd be interested if anyone has actual counts over the last several months.
