"Earthquakes frequently rattle Taiwan but most are minor and cause little or no damage. However, a 7.6-magnitude temblor in central Taiwan in 1999 killed more than 2,300 people. In 2006 a 6.7-magnitude quake south of Kaohsiung severed undersea cables and disrupted telephone and Internet service for millions throughout Asia."

In January, on the 12th, a major earthquake in Haiti, in February, on the  26th major earthquake in  Japan, on the 27th, in Chile, now in March, 4th, a major earthquake in Taiwan.  What's happening?  Scientists are  saying: nothing unusual. Major earthquakes  occur multiple times each year. Earth scientist Professor Keith Montgomery, says  that we can expect a major earthquake every three weeks, and minor ones every day. Most will occur  in the Pacific and Northeast Indian oceans, and in less populated areas.
