Anyone else find it strange that three of the top ten earthquakes since 1900 have happened in the past 6-7 years?

I'm sure technology and increased monitoring have a role in that. As well as increasing population.

I would think the technology from now and 1900 has improved since then, no? I don't see what that has to do with anything considering some of the worst have happened early 1900's. Also, the highest deaths also occurred early 1900's too.

Shits about to hit the fan!

Yes it has improved and become more widespread...which is exactly why we would catch more...making sense yet?

Not at all. I think you should look up to top ten earthquake list and see where they are geographically. I didn't know technology was required to know if the ground beneath them was shaking to holy hell and killed thousands of people.

remember last year, maybe two years ago?, there were minor quakes in south texas (hill country iirc).

no biggie. shit happens.

Im sure there have been bigger quakes. Most of the world is unpopulated....

Of course in the early 1900s the only ones recorded would be in the presence of civlization.

But holy shit at the 9.5 in Chile, thats 700x stronger than the one in Japan.

I used 1900 since that was the first thing google returned. There are much more that have been reported back to 1800s and even further I believe.
