Scientists have finally cracked the case on a bizarre geological mystery! 🗺️🔍

For decades, a series of strange earthquakes have been hitting Utah, and researchers couldn't figure out why. Now, it turns out that the massive drying up of the Great Salt Lake is actually causing the Earth's crust to rebound and flex, triggering these tremors! 🤯🌊

Read the full breakdown of how human-driven climate changes are literally moving the ground beneath us: https://www.vice.com/en/article/scientists-finally-figured-out-why-strange-earthquakes-have-been-hitting-utah-for-decades/ 🌐

"KEY POINTS:
• The volcano generated Rayleigh waves about 15 min before the giant eruption with no apparent surface activity
• These waves dominated in 0.03–0.1 Hz with amplitudes comparable to the amplitude of M4.9
• Seismic stations 750 km from the volcano and appropriate data analyses allowed [them] to capture precursors of the catastrophic eruption..."
