Mysterious Earthquake Lights Linked to Rift Zones
http://www.weather.com/news/science/mysterious-earthquake-lights-linked-rift-zones-20140107 <<The team found 65 cases that were well documented from North and South America and Europe. Of those cases, 97 percent seemed to happen at faults within continental plates, rather than at subduction zones, or the boundaries where one plate is diving below another. That's despite the fact that most big earthquakes happen at subduction boundaries. Instead, about 85 percent of the time, lights seemed to happen at places where the tops of thecontinental plates buckle, creating fissures, or rifts, where the Earth pulls apart.>> Harry
