Thanks, I did a fair bit of reading about earthquakes and volcanoes during my school days, geography was one of my strong points

Crater Lake (Mt. Mazama) in Oregon has had a small micro swarm of earthquakes this week lasting about 8 hours. These were very weak quakes, < 0.1 in magnitude, and nothing to be concerned about....maybe.

It's considered normal background activity for volcanic regions.

However, Nikimcbee had better be on stand-by to run for the hills....no make that run from the hills.

I found it rather fascinating that the Scafells section of the Lake District in the UK is the remnants of a supervolcano that went up 400 million years ago. You really don't think of volcanoes in the UK, even though Exeter and Edinburgh castles sit on them.

The Isle of Skye in Scotland as well. The northern part is primarily composed of tertiary volcanic rock.

When the megacontinent Pangea ripped apart to form our current continent arrangement, all along the new coasts of where the land split apart was pretty much one big giant volcano. There's REALLY deep lava rock inland for pretty much MILES along each coast that split off.
