Screenshots below shows the volcanic chain just 10 miles from the earthquake epicenter:
Today, December 13, 2011 — we saw a 3.3 magnitude earthquake occur in northwest Arizona..
Being a rather odd location which does not see too many earthquakes, I decided to look up the epicenter to see what may be at the heart — or the possible cause…
YET ONCE AGAIN we see earthquakes occurring very close to a LONG DORMANT volcanic chain — (this is in addition to the other deep shaft sites like fracking wells and nuclear facilities).
My hypothesis is a simple one.. we are seeing a global rise in eruptions, and associated earthquakes. These quakes are occurring near sites which have deep earth shafts which have been dug into the upper crust of the earth(fracking and nuclear), or at dormant volcanic areas with NATURAL deep tubes/shafts which penetrate into the earths crust.
Simply put, for example — the north American craton (plate) is being pushed — as the crust is displaced, the spots where the weakness exists would TEND to be the spots where shafts run deep (weakest link in the chain theory). Of course these deep drill/tube/shaft sites will be the first to show the deep crust movement (magma or gasses).
