Strong and deep earthquake registered as M 6.5 struck south of the Fiji Islands on March 26, 2014 at 03:29 UTC. Such earthquakes are common in this area, but this was the strongest one in last 30 days.
USGS is reporting depth of 493.1 km (306.4 miles),
Chile is currently enduring a swarm of strong earthquakes off the coast of Tarapaca. This phase started on March 15, 2014 with M 4.7 at depth of 9.6 km, followed by very strong M 6.7 on March 16 which was initially reported as M 7.0.
Since then, and
A very strong and shallow earthquake registered as M 6.5 (USGS) struck Nicobar Islands, India on March 21, 2014 at 13:41 UTC. USGS reports depth of 10 km (6.2 miles). EMSC is reporting Mw 6.3 at depth of 10 km.

A very strong earthquake with recorded magnitude of 7.0 (revised to M 6.7) struck off the coast of Tarapaca, Chile on March 16, 2014 at 21:16 UTC. USGS is reporting depth of 20 km (12.4 miles). EMSC is reporting Mw 7.0 at depth of only 10 km (still
After M 6.1 that struck near the coast of central Peru at 08:51 UTC on March 15, a second strong and shallow earthquake struck Peru at 23:51 UTC.
USGS measured it as magnitude 6.3 earthquake located near the coast of northern Peru at depth of 9.8 km
A new swarm of earthquakes started yesterday at El Hierro, Canary Islands. So far, almost 200 tiny quakes (none above magnitude 3 so far) have occurred in a broad N-S oriented area beneath the NE part of the island at around 18 km depth.
A possible explanation

In a new study involving researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey, scientists observed that a human-induced magnitude 5.0 earthquake near Prague, Oklahoma in November 2011 may have triggered the larger M 5.7 earthquake less than a day later.
