Earthshaking

There's literally been a lot of earth-shaking reported on the news the past few days.

So naturally I wanted to do a bit of research online to get a little more information.

It surprised me to learn that over 120 earthquakes have been recorded in the last seven days alone, according to the Recent Earthquakes page on the US Geological Survey website.

When I add to the mix all the active volcanoes that have recently been making their presence felt, I can't help but wonder if all this activity is truly noteworthy or if our increasingly wired and informed world is simply making it easier to know what's going on in the world.
