Never did I ever think I'd see the day where we would be talking plate tectonics on GFY
The earth is constantly evolving, and we're just a small part of it's vast history. If the great continental divide happened once, who's to say we won't be experiencing some changes in land mass in the future.
Earthquakes do have a way to get your pulse racing though. Growing up in Hawaii we had little ones all the time, but the biggest ones I've ever felt were in Cali. Now I just stick to the possibility of hurricanes, at least we have an anticipated season for them.
