Hundreds of earthquakes were discovered on Mount René, Washington

A group of hundreds of small earthquakes that revolve around the René Mountain in Washington State was discovered early on Tuesday morning, although geologists confirm that there is no cause for concern.
The US Geological Survey at the Cascade Volcano Observatory said that the earthquakes started before 1:30 am directly, and they occurred at a rate of several times per minute in the minute.
All earthquakes occurred between 1.2 and 3.7 miles below the top, and were small in size.
The largest earthquake measured so far is 1.7, and nothing has been felt on the surface.
According to USGs, earthquake swarms occur several times a year, on average, under the longest volcano in the state, although this is somewhat unusual in terms of earthquakes.
“At the present time, there is no indication that the level of the earthquake activity is a cause of concern, and that the level of alert and color symbol for Mount Rainier remains in (green/ordinary),” USGs wrote in a press statement on Tuesday morning. “The tools do not show any ground deformation that can be discovered in the volcano, and no abnormal signals have been seen on the under Red monitoring stations.”
Usgs said that the former swarms were attributed to the circulation of floods that interact with already existing errors.
Mount Renier will test about nine earthquakes in a typical month.
It was the last major earthquake in 2009, and it was measured for more than 1,000 albumin over a period of three days, as it peaked in size 2.3.mt. Rainier is the closest volcano to the PUGET SOUND area, located about 45 miles southeast of Tacoma and 60 miles southeast of Seattle.
Geological records finally indicate the outbreak of Rainier about 1000 years ago.
