Is it just me or are there more earthquakes this year than normal? Does anyone have stats on this? Like I’m not sure if it’s just more earthquakes being reported or if it’s actually more frequent.

Usually, an earthquake like this would hardly have hit the international news. People are currently on edge about earthquakes because of the Turkey one. That being said, there are usually about one 7.0 or higher earthquakes per month. So far this year, there have been 6.

Yeah everyone's pretty shaken, but you can't really fault them. Tectonic.

Tectonic refers to the plates in the earth’s crust, not to be confused with Belgian superband Technotronic, whose 1989 single “Pump Up The Jam” rose to number two on the UK’s billboard charts.
