Earthquakes Today and Bible Prophecy: Has there been an increase in major earthquakes?

- There are hundreds of identified faults in California; about 200 are considered potentially hazardous based on their slip rates in recent geological time (the last 10,000 years). More than 70 percent of the state's population resides within 30 miles of a fault where high ground shaking could occur in the next 50 years. Does California have more and bigger earthquakes than anyplace else? Actually, Alaska has more earthquakes and the biggest ones in the U.S. The largest earthquake in history occurred in Chile (a magnitude 9.5 on May 22, 1960). The biggest earthquake in the contiguous 48 states was the magnitude 7.9 Ft. Tejon quake on Jan. 9, 1857.

"What is ""pseudohalogen""" Pseudohalogens occur in pseudohalogen molecules, inorganic molecules of the general forms Ps–Ps or Ps–X (where Ps is a pseudohalogen group), such as cyanogen; pseudohalide anions, such as cyanide ion; inorganic acids, such as hydrogen cyanide; as ligands in coordination complexes, such as ferricyanide; and as functional groups in organic molecules, such as the nitrile group.

If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow how cold is it going to be? Is there going to be an earthquake tomorrow? Very probably; small earthquakes happen all the time. According to the US Geological Survey, about 500 000 earthquakes happen each year (that's over 1300 earthquakes a day, on… average)-- only about 100000 of them can felt, and only about 100 cause damage.
