    We definetely didn't know that earthquakes occurred around the world on a daily basis. That is crazy how many can occur in one day, we may not realize it because we don't have many that occur in our area! The highest magnitude out of all of the Earthquakes is 6.6. It is kind of shocking knowing that earthquakes can happen any where and at any time.

  3. No, I didn't realize that there were that many earthquakes during a day or the past week. I think it's crazy to have that many earthquakes during the week or year. Today was the only earthquake with a magnitude over 6.0 this past week in Santa Cruz Island. Alaska & Japan had many earthquakes this past week.

  4. I think that earthquakes happen once every one or two years. I also have never expected to find out that these earthquakes have appeared recently.-Dominic Deutsch

    No, we never imagined so many earthquakes going on in a daily basis. We never could have guessed that they can happen during anytime of the day. That's amazing!
