Thanks for the extra info Hellmutt!

PS if anyone feels like posting an image off USGS, upload it yourself (like the above post)please as otherwise they update from USGS. There are a few examples on last years thread where quakes in interesting places struck, but now are no use as they are the live pictures.
Thanks.

I was doing some quake research yesterday and discovered something interesting. The area around Fiji has been having extremely deep earthquakes. Others are anywhere from 10 to 70, but the depth of these quakes is like 400 to 600 km. Also, the Ring of Fire, where Fiji is also located, seems to be heating up quite a bit and moving towards California.

Here's another site that I find very useful. You can chart the progress of the Ring of Fire quakes moving from Fiji area north and then east over to Alaska. From Fiji all the way to Alaska, there ahve been lots of quakes for the last 2 weeks.

This site has an awesome map of it all and you can see it right away. But for some reason, the site wouldn't let me copy the map to post here, sorry. But the above link will take you right to the map.

forestlady: I hadn't really noticed that sort of thing really,but that seems very deep yes. Perhps some deep subduction zone occurence?

Oh and what do you mean by this exactly?
