Large Earthquakes Strike Greece

Greece is having an earthquake swarm, January 26, 2014 – USGS

The Earth has been quite active, which comes as no surprise, but this week, the activity actually started in Greece.

Eurasia

Typically, large earthquakes start along the Pacific Rim and resonate just about anywhere. On January 25, 2014, a 6.1 magnitude quake struck at Adipala, Indonesia, and today, January 26, 2014, Burma and Greece experienced large magnitude quakes, 5.2 and 6.1 respectively. But this string of activity actually started on the Eurasian Plate on January 24, 2014.

This is an interesting pattern of movement that should be noted.
