USGS: ‘Small Swarm’ of Earthquakes Reported Wednesday at Mount Rainier

By Eric Rosane For The Chronicle The United States Geologi- cal Survey recently reported that a “small swarm” of earthquakes occurred Wednesday at Mount Rainier. The activity represents a typical increase of seismic ac- tivity that’s annually reported in the area. “While the seismicity repre- sents a temporary uptick in ac- tivity, Mount Rainier remains at normal background levels of ac- tivity,” the USGS wrote on Face- book Thursday afternoon. The uptick is a reminder of the rich zone of volcanic activity that exists in the Cascade Moun- tain Range. It’s being driven by the divergent Pacific Plate with North America. The range today contains roughly 2,900 volcanic features, according to USGS. The small swarm at Rainier — which totaled 20 quakes, as re- corded by the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network — first started Wednesday, Feb. 17, at about 3:13 p.m. and lasted about five hours. A single earthquake was report- ed the next day.

By The Chronicle staff Adna stayed red-hot on the season, staying unbeaten and moving to 3-0 after sweeping Morton-White Pass (25-19, 25-9, 25-23) on the road Thursday. The Pirates were led by Brooklyn Loose, who had a solid game at the service line, going 25-of-26 with four aces. She also added three kills. Madison Fay turned on an impressive pass- ing performance for the Pirates, which allowed for their offense to attack the T-Wolves. “I was happy with their play but we have some work to do to be consistent,” Adna coach Wendie Dotson said. “We have a tough schedule next week, start- ing with hosting Kalama, who has been a volleyball power for a while. Our goal is to keep im- proving on our skills and taking one game at a time.” Morton-White Pass dropped to 0-2 on the season with the loss after falling to Wahkiakum Jared Wenzelburger / [email protected] on Tuesday in the season opener.
