Videos Show The July 4 Earthquake Rippling Across North America
Before fireworks streaked across the skies of southern California on July 4, nature unleashed its own thunderous blast of energy: an earthquake.

Lovely, I wish to see more like this.

Off topic, but from same web link. https://www.sciencealert.com/alien-crystals-like-nothing-found-in-nature-on-earth-might-encrust-the-edges-of-titan-s-lakes
Scientists have recreated Titan-like conditions in a lab
“The first crystals to form were benzene, which formed a co-crystal with ethane. And acetylene and ammonia formed the second co-crystal. Now the butane-acetylene co-crystal has revealed itself, and it may be a lot more common than the other two.
“The co-crystal forms within minutes at 130 K, and is stable when cooled to Titan surface temperatures (90 K), A thermal stability study indicates that this co-crystal remains intact up to 180 K.”
What’s particularly cool is that these co-crystals don’t just emerge randomly. Instead, we might be looking at structures of alien crystals encircling Titan’s methane lakes.
This is because when the compounds fall from the sky, they are dissolved in the lakes. As these bodies of liquid evaporate – much like lakes do during Earth’s water cycle – the compounds could form co-crystal evaporites around the edges, much like residue in a bathtub drained of dirty water.
The possibility of co-crystals hadn’t occurred to me. It makes me think of the efforts to crystalize proteins.
Titan sounds like an exiting place to explore, long wait until the next mission though

In the second graphic, why would those stations in the north-east be blinking continuously?

In the US state of Washington and thereabouts?
Presumably because they have tremors there all the time.

Here’s an earthquake from Nepal. Note how it travels south then changes direction to travel north across the USA.
