Look at the last weeks worth of earthquakes across the Pacific (screenshot below) : a TOTAL state of flux is obvious.

Areas around the ring of fire , and adjacent areas — just in the past 7 days — have moved tremendously.

Notice the lack of earthquakes on the EAST side of the north American craton:


Past two weeks of movement shows the North American craton edge well defined by small earthquakes :

Compare the above past two weeks of earthquakes in north america to the general map of the North American Craton (below):

Also take note the fracking/shale/natural gas drilling sites in comparison to the craton edge.. and compare EARTHQUAKE HOTSPOTS to the drilling sites.. you will see a connection!

Putting this all together, a large earthquake uptick showing globally (as seen with todays 7.1M in the west Pacific)… the north American craton MUST compensate for this large west pacific movement…. therefore watch the edge of the craton, and west coast USA for possible movement following this west pacific swarm.

The edge of the craton is already showing signs of activity at man made drilling sites… and at dormant volcano sites.
