Officials are monitoring a earthquake herd in Mount Rainier, but say that there is no reason for concern

Officers are monitoring the biggest herd of the earthquake over the Mount Reniere of Washington over 15 years, but there is no indication that Quake’s cluster is a cause of concern.

The US Geological Survey Caskets Volcanic Observatory stated that the herd started on Tuesday with a 14,410-foot (4,392-meter) volcano near Seattle. The agency said in a statement on Thursday that the herd includes hundreds of small earthquakes – the largest magnitude of which is 2.3 – and has crossed the 2009 herd in terms of magnitude, event, total events and energy release.

The reason for the current herd is corresponding to the circulation of fluids with defects under the volcano and considered the “background activity” in the mount rainier, the agency said. The agency said that the alert level of the volcano was normal, and the earthquakes have reduced to be felt on the surface.

The volcanic observatory stated that Mount Rainier may have herds once or twice, although the number of quakes involved is usually small.

Mount Rainier, about 60 miles (97 km) is the south -east of Seattle, the most glazed peak in the lower 48 states.
