Another day, another earthquake in North Texas. The ice storm stopped pretty much everything in North Texas, but it hasn’t stopped seismic activity. Early Sunday morning, a 3.6-magnitude earthquake struck in Parker County, about 2 miles northwest of Azle. And then early this morning, another earthquake struck – a 3.7-magnitude quake about 11 miles northeast of Mineral Wells. More than 20 earthquakes have hit the region since early November.

Mount Marapi erupts, 'caution' alert level unchanged
“The volcano's eruption spewed a column of thick, gray ash 350 meters high,” PVMBG official Warseno said on Sunday as quoted by Antara news agency. Mt. Marapi’s alert level has been maintained at waspada or caution (level 2). The PVMBG has said it is not safe to be within 3 kilometers of the activity.

Runaway process drives intermediate-depth earthquakes, Stanford scientists find
There are two main hypotheses for what may be driving intermediate depth earthquakes. According to one idea, water is squeezed out of rock pores at extreme depths and the liquid acts like a lubricant to facilitate fault sliding. This fits with the finding that intermediate quakes generally occur at sites where one tectonic plate is sliding, or subducting, beneath another.
