Killer earthquakes on the rise

Prophecy Sign:  An increase in earthquakes and volcanoes in diverse places

Ahaa!!  Finally, a few scientists and media alike are finally having to admit that just maybe, perhaps, could be, that earthquakes are on the rise.  We could have told them that.

Earthquakes and volcanic activity are indeed both very active of late.  We have Volcanoes in Iceland, Indonesia and the Canary Islands, (by the way you might want to cancel your dream trip to the Canary Islands), all close to eruptions that could prove quite devastating.  Plus we have earthquakes shaking nearly every part of the world.  For instance here in Canada where earthquakes are about as frequent as 80 F. days in January, we have seen three very recent tremblers.  Two off the coast of British Columbia and one to the far north of Alberta in the North West Territories.

There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Luke 21:11 NIV

From the articles:

The last decade has seen an intensification in earthquake activities. The 2004 Sumatra quake in Indonesia, which registered 9.3 on the Richter scale, has triggered stress in many areas. The Sikkim earthquake could be a manifestation of this stress. Earthquakes, some scientists believe, are on the rise. The earthquake in Fukushima in Japan had a magnitude of 8.9 and was the largest in the recorded history of Japan. The February 2010 Chile earthquake registered a similar magnitude as the Japan quake while the January 2010 quake in Haiti had a magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter scale. Prof D.K. Paul, an earthquake engineer with IIT Roorkee, believes the pushing of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian plate (at the rate of 5 cm per year) results in stresses which over a period of time, manifest as earthquakes.

A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck the Northwest Territories Sunday night, the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed. The quake was recorded about 200 kilometres south of Norman Wells, N.W.T., at a depth of 2.9 kilometres. The USGS said the quake was recorded at 7 p.m. local time.  No injuries or damage was immediately reported

The Canary Islands Government has raised the alert level for the El Hierro volcano in the Canary Islands (Spain) to ‘Yellow’, the highest alert status since an unprecedented earthquake swarm commenced in mid-July. Spanish seismologists, accompanied by the President of the Cabildo de El Hierro and the Minister of Security and Emergency Area, held a press conference on Sunday to reassure the 10,000 residents of the smallest of the Canary Islands that the raising of the alert level does not indicate that an eruption is imminent. They indicated, however, that the number of volcanic earthquakes detected beneath El Hierro continues to increase.
