Iceland Has 18,000 Earthquakes in a Week

It's a little hard to believe but Iceland has experienced 18,000 earthquakes in the space of a week. The seismic activity suggests that a volcano in the southwest of Iceland may be about to erupt. Volcanoes in southwestern Iceland have been dormant for over 800 years, but                          (SEISMOLOGY) believe an eruption could be imminent. Iceland is situated on top of the meeting of tectonic plates deep in the earth. The plates below Iceland are                          (CONTINUAL) splitting apart and pushing North America and Eurasia away from each other at an infinitesimally slow rate. Living on a tectonic plate means seismic activity is inevitable. One Reykjavik resident spoke about his                          (ANXIOUS) caused by the 18,000 recent quakes. He said, “I have experienced earthquakes before, but never so many in a row. It is very                          (USUAL) to feel the Earth shake 24 hours a day for a whole week. It makes you feel very small and                          (POWER) against nature.”
