GUDMUNDSSON: The biggest eruptions memory in the United States was the Mount St. Helens eruption of 1980. And then we had Pinatubo eruption in 1991.

   Is a large earthquake imminent?

The ComCat earthquake catalog contains an increasing number of earthquakes in recent years--not because there are more earthquakes, but because there are more seismic instruments and they are able to record more earthquakes.

   Where do earthquakes occur?

   • In the 1950s, when a global seismic network was established to monitor nuclear tests, geophysicists noticed that most earthquakes occur along relatively narrow bands that either fringe the edges of ocean basins, as in the Pacific, or cut right down the middle of basins, as in the Atlantic.

   Do earthquakes kill people?
