Case in point, earlier this month a record number of low-intensity earthquakes rumbled the Juan de Fuca Ridge located roughly 150 miles off the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

The ridge is where the Juan de Fuca plate is pulling away from a neighboring plate. Molten lava typically oozes up into the open spaces creating new seafloor at a pace of usually only inches a year.
