The Geologists Haven't a clue themselves. The Great Basin holds underground water, which does not drain to the Pacific but seeps underground. It is subject to mountain building, being on the western slope of the Continental Divide. Quake swarms occur most often in regions where there is underground water, which gets trapped and then later released as the rock layers slide during either stretch activity or mountain building activity. The water is essentially sloshing around underground, each time causing a minor quake. At times such activity will cause new lakes to form suddenly on the surface, or drain an existing lake. This is a factor of the N American bow, and the mountain building ongoing in the area, not magma movement. [/quote] This is what the seismologist are saying. That water is basically percolating up through the rock. I was reading a little the other night about Nevada's EQ history And found this fascinating story the Indians told of water shooting Up a 100 feet in the air from a great quake at Pyramid Lake. It was in a newspaper from 1865. [/quote] Very good. Well my post confirms no volcanoes at the moment. Just a lot of pressure from the west heading east. Rip there goes the New Meridian fault. Very weak spot subject to great releases of pressure from all around the American plate. [/quote]
