12-15-2020 Earthquakes Are My Greatest Worry Going Into 2021

Significant earthquakes, especially off the West coast of Washington and Oregon, are my greatest worry as we head into the new year of 2021. I have been casually watching the frequency of earthquakes around the world in the past few months and have learned a couple of things.

1) Earthquakes occurring deep in the earth spawn several shallower earthquakes in a specific diameter around the deep earthquake location.

2) A lack of earthquakes in a specific region  surrounding a deep earthquake may indicate a portion of the huge tectonic plate is frozen from movement in that frozen area. This may cause a huge build up of stress in the frozen tectonic plate area trying to move a certain direction where the plate is locked.

For example, it appears, as of 12-15-2020, the movement of the tectonic plate from west to east going under North America off the coast of Washington and Oregon is frozen right now and starting to build up tremendous stress from what I have seen from multiple, deep earthquakes in the Aleutian chain off the west coast of Alaska and swarms of earthquakes happening in California.

I just had an AHA moment while waking up in the early morning of 12-15-2020. It may be possible, the excess stress from the locked tectonic plate off the coast of Washington and Oregon is causing a huge magma backup across the whole Pacific Ocean. The island of Hawai’i magma chambers appear to be filling up again. The magma chambers on Maui filling up may be next. The magma chamber feeding Mt Rainier,  in Washington state, is starting to rumble a little- an indication it’s magma chamber is filling up.

 The pressure from the locked plate off the coast of Washington state has to be relieved somewhere.
