Japan Earthquake Update 7 Magnitude 5 Quakes Strike Near the Kurose Hole Volcano

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdFapjH_BVo

On the afternoon of May 14th, 7 magnitude 5 earthquakes struck in rapid succession approximately 30 kilometers west of the Kurose Hole volcano in Japan. This occurred alongside 4 magnitude 4 quakes, representing an unusual sequence which is likely not tectonic in origin given the region's geological setting. This video discusses why these quakes might have a volcanic origin, but not at a known volcanic system. • Thumbnail Photo Credit: NSF and NOAA, NOAA Photo Library, Public Domain, https://photolib.noaa.gov/Collections....
