I am getting a lot of Quake alerts on my phone today, and lately.

The earth is constantly moving, this much I have learned from tracking quakes.

Most don't see the small ones as very important, but I try to notice them all.

It's not easy though. In a week there can be thousands, and while I have tried to mark them all on my google earth map, and try to keep an eye on every single one, it's difficult.

I don't get paid to do this all day, but I still try to. There are months when I am super busy, lately tracking the price of BTC has been more important but when the earth quakes, no one cares what the price of Bitcoin is. I am lucky to live where there aren't many quakes, but this past week we even had a few and that is concerning.

The largest quakes always get the most attention, and rightly so. As you can see here, there have been 8 earthquakes larger than Mag6.0 this week, and that warrents a Hive post for sure.

M 6.9 - Macquarie Island region

South of New Zealand, certainly concerning. Why is this region quaking?

'the Macquarie Ridge Complex, a highly active plate boundary where the Australian Plate and Pacific Plate interac'* , 'ongoing motion and interaction between the Australian and Pacific Plates build up tectonic stress'*
