USGS Earthquake Map for World and USA

Seems to be a lot more quiet in the last few days, a lot more yellow on the maps for the USA and the World..
Is this good news or is there something is buidling up for a big one now for all those who are more of an expert in this type of the field who would know a lot more then me....

Again, notice alot more yellow on the maps and a lot less red or blue color squares

.

could be the quite before the storm, all quite here in Utah for some time and that is odd.

Maybe it's getting quiet in preparation for that big event on March 15th

Seriously, though, there's 2 possibilities: either it's a precursor to a major event, because there is no release of pressure, or it means the pressure has been successfully released and we should expect nothing big. From experience, I'd say it's probably the latter.

This is part of the cycle of the Earth, both the glacial cycle and the magnetosphere cycle. As the magnetosphere continues to weaken yearly, the amount of tectonic and volcanic activity continues to increase. This culminates during a phenomenon called magnetic reversal.

Since I posted this thread, a 6.0 earthquake just happened ion Chile...
