Scientists Predict More Earthquakes In 2018 As Earth Slows

Geologists have unveiled an ominous forecast for the planet in 2018 as the number of devastating earthquakes is predicted to rise. Scientists are blaming the spike in seismic activity on Earth’s slowing rotation.

At a meeting of the Geological Society of America in October, two researchers warned that the world will likely see a 30-percent increase in the number of Magnitude-7 quakes next year. The planet normally suffers through an average of 15 major earthquakes annually.

@GuitarGuy this might answer your question. Or at least it's one source's idea of why.
