Subject: I have a really odd question

URL: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=17.39258,-140.71289&extent=54.72462,-49.30664


First I need to explain that I have ADD and am dyslexic - so that is why I often see weird patterns in things.

Now...for the weird pattern I've seeing for a number of months. Every day, I check the USGS Latest Earthquakes Site - link above.

And it seems that on most days, if you look at all the dots marking earthquakes that took place that day, say in the United States - the dots often form an arc or a straight line - that you could almost graph on piece of graph paper.

It happens quite consistently. Why is that? Does anyone have an answer?

Hmmmm, Old days quakes were simple ground movement locally, no reason why..except tides...

These days, quakes magma related (sun issues, comet issues, planet X magnetic issues).. and tectonic plate compression issues as the magma rises but not equally around the globe...most especially in ring of fire in which the planet has a large unequal magnetic field disturbance...heavy words sorry

Not odd at all.

I don't think so in this case. I know what you are referring to - the ability to see faces on cars, on telephones, etc. But I don't see "faces" or anything of the sort. Just lines or arcs, sometimes circles - like functions you'd draw on graph paper in calculus class. Very non-human.

Pareidolia also refers to such things. In general,
seeing patterns where none actually exist.

But I understand what you are talking about. I notice
those patterns in the quake maps as well. But I don't see
any reason to think it means anything.

I see patterns all the time that I realize aren't real.
I used to like tot stare at a static channel on TV and
consciously evoke patterns in the snow and make them move
around on the screen. None of it real. Just my imagination.

But then, I can also experience closed-eye hallucinations.

Nope. No drugs involved. Never have. Never will. Just
a gift I've been graced with. I never thought it was
anything unusual as I've always been able to do it. It
wasn't until I ran across the Wikipedia article by
accident when researching something else that I learned
it was not common.

But again. They're not real.

What I've been wondering is something along the lines of George's comment above - whether these are following fault lines....or strike slip zones....or subterranean magma pathways. And so...they are all active at once?

I'm thinking out loud. So I wouldn't defend that very much.

Now today, just now, the dots truly DO look random.
