To GordonH ...

Thanks for your dedication in keeping us updated regarding moderate and major earthquakes around the ring of fire. Do you believe that some of the stronger quakes initiate subsequent quakes, and if so in what approximate location or direction in relation to the original quake? It gets "interestinger and interestinger".

Do you have any thoughts on where the next Super Volcano will be located. Yellowstone?

I also appreciate the information.

Is there any chance of seeing some graphs of past/present incidences? Of trends, any particular place on the ring of fire overly active?
