A Study in Seismic Events
One of the joys of a hobby conducted in real time is that it allows for periodic updates.
My interest is in seismic activity of Utah - Yellowstone (the Intermountain Corridor).
In an area that experiences around 700 seismic events per year, we have just experienced a quiet week with a mere 26 events with none in the last 24 hours. These events appear evenly spread and low (micro) in intensity.
This week's "bumps" are only 50% of the previous week's activity.
A local news broadcast on Saturday, on an obviously slow news day, carried a story of fault lines (two) under the Great Salt Lake, and the challenge of flooding should either be the epicenter of any local earthquake activity.
By and large the report passed unnoticed by the local community.
I enjoy my hobby, despite its minute following.
