Of course Hawaii is known for many smaller, volcanic related quakes.

Though "more standard" quakes be rather Rare.

And those standard quakes are even quite different from those in most other Quake Zones of the World! In that its *not* fault-line based, -but rather over the Sheer, Great Weight of "Land", -sticking up out of the Ocean!

Just like all Islands West of the Big Island are smaller, -Clear over to Midway, -but once were just as big, -Hawaii erodes away over Geologic Time. Built Up Eastward, -Erodeing Down Westward. In that Great Famous Tug of War between their Fire Goddess (Volcanos), and their Sea Goddess.

The Gravitational Collapse, -along with their accompanying "standard quakes", -are all just a part of this. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]ironraven[/email]
