I have begun to look at the recent ones in Nev., and when i looked at all of them in Az., Nv. and utah, i noticed that ALL of them occured at the very base of a mountain or mesa, something is going on that is disturbing the mountains here, in Az. we only have a few (2or3) faults, and those did not occure on fault lines, near them yes, but to next to them. I am not a geologist, but i am learning and this is what i have observed so far.
