Thank you (again) for your answer podrock.
And I agree that the Earth does what it does and there are variations outside the statistical normal.
But I insist that what ever the planet does, there is a physics explanation behind the cause.
Certainly; the tectonic plate movement can explain the statistical variations and some of the spikes, but if the activity increases beyond the normal and stays at that level longer than the statistics indicate, then there may be some other physics phenomenon affecting the system.
If every one ignores the other possible causes for the effects, then there is no way to come to an understanding of why the extraordinary events are taking place.
It truly is terrible that there was such devastation and loss of human lives in this and the previous events.
Last time I looked, there was 769 earthquakes that were over magnitude 4., all within the last 30 days.

Hopefully that will drop back to the 300 level where it used to be.
