A series of earthquakes rattled east Los Angeles County early Thursday, beginning with a 3.7-magnitude temblor that was soon followed by an even larger aftershock, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

“It was pretty crazy. We felt the first one, it wasn’t too bad,” said Elizabeth Price, a shift leader at a Starbucks just down the street in Pomona. “The aftershock was worse. It shook us pretty good, but nothing fell.”

Southern Australia is being rattled by hundreds of quakes- and scientists aren’t sure why

By: ABC.net, 09/10/2013

September 10, 2013 – AUSTRALIA - Scientists in Victoria are attempting to learn more about the increase in the number of earthquakes in the Gippsland region. Seismologists are describing the region as an earthquake hotspot. There were only 50 earthquakes recorded up until 2009, but since then there have been 700. The activity has been particularly high in the Strzelecki Ranges which lie between the Latrobe Valley and the Gippsland coastline. Locals have been intrigued by the tremors for years. Gary Gibson from the University of Melbourne says the motion in Gippsland is high. “There are other spots that are active for a period of time but they’re active for a geologically short period, maybe 100,000 years or something and they go quiet. And they’ve got no long term evidence of continued motion,” he said. “Whereas the motion in Gippsland here, the rate of earthquake activity we have at the moment is high.

Small tremor bursts occurring like clockwork at White Island, New Zealand

Thewatchers.adorraeli.com, By: Adonai, 07/11/2013

Over the past few weeks White Island, New Zealand's most active volcano, has repeatedly produced very small volcanic earthquakes. These small tremor bursts are occurring like clockwork, approximately every 70 seconds, creating a unique pattern on our earthquake drum, with hundreds of these small bursts recorded every day, GeoNet's Public Information Specialist Caroline Little wrote in her latest update about the volcano activity.

Massive earthquakes can cause volcanoes to sink

zeenews.india.com, 7/2/13

New York: Massive earthquakes can cause far-off volcanoes to sink by as much as 15 centimetres, according to new research.

The magnitude-9.0 earthquake that struck Japan in 2011 caused volcanoes as far as 200 km from the epicentre to sink up to 15 centimetres, researchers found.
