Seismic activity in Canary Islands increases dramatically in 2018 compared to 2017 and 2016.
Seismic activity in Canary Islands increases dramatically in 2018 compared to 2017 and 2016.
This video features the seismicity in the Canary Islands as recorded by seismometers from the National Geographic Institute (IGN) over 2018:
According to data, 1527 earthquakes have been measured:
A female leopard at Dachigam Wildlife Sanctuary, outskirts of Srinagar.
The district received fresh spell of snow on Friday and Saturday disrupting the vehicle movement on the border area roads in the district. The intensity of the snow increased on Saturday afternoon making the roads slippery.
"Due to heavy snowfall in the forests the wild animals have made their way towards villages in search of food," said a wildlife official. "At many places we have kept the cages to catch them, where people have complained the movement of the wild beasts," he said.

He reached out and plucked a sopping wet cotton boll off of a brown, rotting stem and held it between his fingers, shaking his head.
"See this?" he said, peeling the wet cotton apart like an orange. "That's not how it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be fluffy, it's cotton. That's no good. No good."
Like almost all farmers in the northern ends of Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, 2018 was one for the record books, and not in a good way. The Pensacola area saw just over 90 inches of rain total last year, which is 2 feet more than it normally does. Mickey Diamond, a cotton and peanut farmer in Jay, said his town saw over 100 inches of rain.

The natural phenomenon is seen when frigid temperatures cause water vapor in the air to freeze and sparkle in the sunlight.
On Sunday, many people with cameras gathered in mountainous areas of the town, where the mercury fell to minus 25.8 degrees Celsius in the morning.
They took photos of the tiny ice crystals in the air shining in the morning sunlight.

The storm blanketed Kansas and Missouri on Friday, with heavy snowfall continuing into Saturday. It also hit parts of other states including Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
Areas around St. Louis, Missouri were affected the hardest, with Reuters reporting that a foot and a half of snow was recorded west of the city.
The massive storm took its toll on highways and roads, where at least five people were killed as a result of dangerous driving conditions.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol wrote in a tweet on Saturday that it has responded to 3,918 calls for service, 1,790 stranded motorists, 878 crashes, and 57 injuries.
While some people still suspect the boom sounds are connected to local injection wells, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources says it has found nothing to support that.
The Brookfield injection wells have been a subject of controversy since the permits were first granted. The latest complaints concern loud explosion-type noises. Gloria Douglas lives directly adjacent to the well site.
"Very distinct, it's something you've not heard here before and it's loud, very loud it's like an explosion, I call it an explosion boom," Douglas said.
Brookfield Trustee Dan Suttles says ODNR was contacted and checks were conducted on three seismic monitors at and around the well site.
"They did look at the monitoring devices and there was no seismic activity that occurred," according to Suttles.
Comment: A commenter on the article said she's heard the same sounds in Pennsylvania, some 25 miles away:
I know what they're talking about! I'm in PA and have felt and heard these booms too for over two years. Nobody can explain them. I am over 25 miles from Brookfield. In the country, near Shenango Dam. Just out of nowhere, BOOM!! Loud, shaking the house. Haven't heard one for about three or four months, but I know what this lady is talking about in this clip!
Comment: USGS records show that earthquakes worldwide have increased 2,000% since the 1900's and, in just the last year, Alaska, Yellowstone and Iceland are just some of the locations that have shown a startling increase in swarm events. But it's not just earthquakes we have to worry about, there are a variety of other related phenomena including volcanic activity, sinkholes, landslides and fissures.
