The 'earthquake insurance' business has been brisk in Missouri for decades, now.

Glacial melt can also affect tectonic plates. The weight differential is tremendous.

SI needs a geology thread, if there isn't already one.. Just one more OT post here. I'd rank Taupo the next one most likely to blow again, though not in the near future.

As for near term tsunami generating earthquakes, I'd put Cascadia near the top of the list, although anywhere around the "Pacific Ring of Fire" could be next.

A fact that could relate to the above is that earth's magnetosphere has been weakening lately amid signs of another magnetic pole reversal. That could cause more chaos in climate and geological events. Interesting times..
