Question is...
Posted by Glen on November 11, 2006 at 03:14:42:

Where, and why? And what is the natural process that determines the events? A 4.5 mag earthquake near Lake Tahoe has a greater significance than a 4.5 near
Tonga. Why? Because they don't happen as often. A 4.5 in Littlerock Arkansas gets a ton of attention. Why? Because it is not Tonga. Different geology. Why fog over a 4.5 at Lake Tahoe with global, declustered seismicity?
