The image directly above is of the recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Fiji at 608km in depth on September 6, 2018 at 15:49UTC. Spectrogram and seismogram taken from station MCV within Long Valley caldera.
What is going on? Isn't it weird how once the Kilauea eruptions calmed there was a good sized spike in 6.0's, 7.0's, and even 8.0's?! Also alot of the earthquakes recently of larger magnitudes have occurred very deep, around 500-600km in depth. What is going on? I understand this happens time to time, but why the large spike in 7.0's and 8.0's at such a deep depth? Has something changed beneath our feet? And how much longer will this deep-focus sequence last? The seismogram and spectrogram plot above shows a possible low frequency event that occurred somewhere near seismic station YML, Mary Lake from 9:29UTC to 9:32UTC September 3, 2018. The first event, right before the low frequency earthquake, does not appear to be an actual earthquake. I at first thought that this "tremor" looked like wind, and it actually resembles wind in many ways. However wind cannot send a specific signal over miles and miles. Don't know what I mean?

Including the minor earthquake swarm at West Thumb on August 21, 2018, there have been 3 earthquake swarms already for Yellowstone in the month of August. They were not too major but, just like before, we see the earthquake succession at West Thumb occurring at a farther rapid pace than other areas at Yellowstone (sometimes multiple earthquakes within one minute). Why? Who knows, but it is my opinion tectonic activity alone could not cause the West Thumb rapid succession swarms. Remember guys I am still a beginner at all of this! Seismology is extremely interesting to me and I cannot wait to make a career out of it! I will be talking about the swarms for August 26 and August 29-30 in this post.

Feel free to comment below, of course after clicking "read more". In this first post, I will simply talk about the minor earthquake swarm event which occurred on August 21, 2018 near Little West Thumb, Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone, WY.
