Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean seems to have more earthquakes lately. What does this mean?

The Ring of Fire is a ring of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean that result from subduction of oceanic plates beneath lighter continental plates. Most of the Earth's volcanoes are located around the Pacific Ring of Fire because that the location of most of the Earth's subduction zones.

Plate tectonics are associated with earthquakes.

Plate movement. Constant. Over geologic time. Equals earthquakes.

Magnitude 6.4 Southern California. I think they said it was 150 miles northeast of LA but it seems it was felt in vegas going on what I've seen on social media.

7.1 earthquake in Southern California overnight. The one on Thursday evening is apparently now the foreshock.

I was in Ridgecrest about 20 years ago.

It's slightly outside Death Valley and the population of the surrounding area would be sparse. Desert scrub and small villages.

The Loma Prieta earthquake that struck San Francisco/Bay Area during the World Series in 1989 was 6.9 magnitude.

Yeah that seems to the only saving grace is that the epicenter is in a remote area. That 1989 one gave TV the greatest opening ever. Having seen the news coverage of it online, the one thing that I found weird(but understandable) was the big difference in the death toll because of the road in Oakland collapsing. I think they say it was over 200 people confirmed dead the day after.

6.4 and 7.1 during 4th of July holidays in SoCal. Is the Big One coming?

Hundreds of pre- and post-shocks. Cracked Earth. Plates?

British Geological Survey:

Recent devastating earthquakes in Haiti, Chile and China, as well as magnitude 7 plus earthquakes in Indonesia and California, might give the impression that earthquake activity is increasing. In fact, a quick look at earthquake statistics over the last twenty years shows that this is not the case. On average there are about fifteen earthquakes every year with a magnitude of 7 or greater. As with any quasi-random phenomena, the number of earthquakes each year varies slightly from this average, but in general, there are no dramatic variations. So far this year, there have been six magnitude 7+ earthquakes, in keeping with the annual rate.

They don't fore see it happening for 3000 according to the article.
