I like Concretes idea on the

Suprisingly, I was thinking about this the other day.
What the chart shows, is that major geological events don't occur very often. Since the movement of tectonic plates is not measured in feet/year, it is a slow process. More like mm/yr or maybe even cm/yr. This would cause a slow build up of tensions between plates globaly. Sorta like suspending a weight from many elastic bands. Once one breaks, the tension is greater on the others, so they all start breaking. Till the weight drops.
With the Earth though, when one major earthquake happens. With all the tectonic tensions, it's like the first elastic breaking, the vibrations (which are global) trigger another, then another etc. until the plates settle in new positions.
It would be nice to see records going back 500-1000 years, but I'm sure athough there may be a few recorded events, nothing like we can do today globaly.
But, back to point. Is it possible that what we are seeing is the begining of an historical record of earthquake cycles? Meaning, the earth suffers many major earthquakes every x number of centuries?
