Scientists Found Something Terrifying About the Recorded 55,000 Earthquakes

More than 55,000 earthquakes have been recorded around the world over the past year.

At first, that number sounds terrifying. But scientists say it does not mean Earth has suddenly become more unstable.

In this DiscoverTube investigation, we look at why earthquakes happen constantly, why only a small number become major disasters, and how modern seismic networks, GPS, satellites and artificial intelligence are detecting movements that earlier generations would have completely missed.

The surprising conclusion?

Earth may not be shaking more.

We are simply getting much better at listening to it.
