How come this guys keep stating that as there are different plates, quakes have no relatioin. I live in Chilea and we had 2 mayor earthquakes just yesterday @ northern Chile, and another much smaller 1500 miles south @ the capital, and yet thay state there is no relations as plates are diferent. Now this. I'm not specialist, but NO ONE can be that blind to just state "there is no relation between them". Seismology is not an exact nor completely understood science, so at best they can say "As of our extreemly limited knowledge, we can't find a relation, but it's clear that there IS a relation between them, we'll study what that relation can be.". I'd just like to state that all ppl leaving in what is known as the pacific ring of fire do share a relation.
The point is that some studies are still in their basics, wheather, astrophysics, seismology, etc. And even though there are big advances, no one can be considered an "all knowing" expert. At most (at this moment) they can be considered as ppl who study the subject, but has a looooooong way to go yet.
