I include earthquake epicenters from 1921-2021 with magnitudes M \u2265 3.0 in one version. <\/li>\n<li>I plot the USGS fault plane solutions (moment tensors in blue and focal mechanisms in orange), possibly in addition to some relevant historic earthquakes. <\/li>\n<li>A review of the basic base map variations and data that I use for the interpretive posters can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/earthjay.com\/?page_id=3218\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Earthquake Reports page<\/a>. I have improved these posters over time and some of this background information applies to the older posters.<\/li>\n<li>Some basic fundamentals of earthquake geology and plate tectonics can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/earthjay.com\/?page_id=8202\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Earthquake Plate Tectonic Fundamentals page<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<H3><font color=\"orange\">I include some inset figures. <\/font><\/H3><\/p>\n<li>In the upper left corner I include a large scale view of the magnetic anomaly data. These anomalies are formed at mid-ocean ridges, so are parallel to the ridges. When transform faults offset these anomalies, the anomalies get offset.<\/li>\n<li>In the lower right corner is a map showing the USGS modeled intensity that uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Modified_Mercalli_intensity_scale\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) data<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>In the upper left center and the lower right center I include maps from two papers that show the magnetic anomaly data for the Pacific Ocean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Here is the map with 3 month&#8217;s seismicity plotted.<\/li>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/earthjay.com\/earthquakes\/20221102_pacific\/20221102_pacific_interpretation.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/earthjay.com\/earthquakes\/20221102_pacific\/20221102_pacific_interpretation.jpg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<h2> <strong><font color=orange>Pacific Ocean | Hawai&#8217;i&#8217; Earthquake Reports<\/font><\/strong><\/h2>\n<li>2022.11.02 <a href=\"https:\/\/earthjay.com\/?p=10667\">M 6.0 Pacific Ocean<\/a> POSTER<\/li>\n<li>2018.05.04 <a href=\"https:\/\/earthjay.com\/?p=7350\">M 6.9 Hawai&#8217;i<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<H2><strong><font color=\"orange\">References:<\/font><\/strong><\/H2><\/p>\n<p><H3>Basic &#038; General References<\/H3><\/p>\n<li>Frisch, W., Meschede, M., Blakey, R., 2011.
