There seems to be an increase in strong earthquakes this weekend. A lot of places where these quakes occurred are in common quake territory but the average strength and quantity seems to be growing for quite a bit now and just this weekend we had a 6.0 in Costa Rico, a 6.2 off the coast of Japan, a 6.0 in the Central Mid Atlantic-Ridge and a 6.5 has just occurred in Papua New Guinea. There has also been 12 earthquakes that register 5.0 to 5.9 scattered around our globe. It seems that an increase in pressure is building on the plates globally especially since the March 11th earthquake in Japan.

The whole Ring Of Fire seems to be blazing. From New Zealand through Alaska and down to Argentina and Chile are experiencing moderate to large earthquakes constantly. Here is a great link to help track them as well.
