such became more accurate—particularly in the case of shallow earthquakes. "This makes sense, since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of the Earth's crust," Saldanha said.

it's likely they won't be much larger than the earthquake from Tuesday. He said that's because we're far enough away from earth's largest moving outer layers of the earth. "The closest plate ...
