Just wanted to say great work on this thread mate - it amazes me how many quakes there are, and how frequent.

Question - do you think they're increasing in frequency/severity? Or is this something that has been consistent for years?

Well, I really don't know. After looking at the earthquake headlines of the USGS, since 2003 the number has dropped there, but that may be just because the standards that they use for a headlining quake have changed. I would expect though, that the number per year fluctuates on a cycle, like most natural things do, though I could be wrong. Despite however insightful my posts may be, I'm no Geophysicist/geologist etc.

Anyway:
