Deep down in the earth, there is magma, but the magma is not what’s moving, Shelly said. The earthquakes are usually triggered when water and carbon dioxide above the magma move up into higher layers of the earth’s crust and into the cracks of the small faults. The increase in fluid pressure sets off the movements.

Yeah, I know. Sounds like a HUGE or even HUGER swarm. But, then again, it is the la la times.

It’s about Mammoth lake. It’s not misleading to people in the area, which is whom local news stories are written for.

Nah. He’ll send 3000 soldiers to stop the quakes. sarc/off
To: MeshugeMikey
“Can’t we all just get along?” Is the use of the word mammoth offensive to little people? May have to add it to the list of unacceptable words. Are ponds offended by the word lake?
