Heard a teacher from PSU on tv say the quake was due to areas inside the earth readjusting to no longer being slightly compressed by the weight of the ice glaciers of ten thousand years ago weighing down on top of the earth's surface. The downward pressure is no longer there because the glaciers have melted, and the planet is slowly springing back to its' prior condition. The earth was no doubt thinking: "Thank God that glacier finally melted.....hey....that thing was no lightweight!"
Just like when you go to the beach, fall asleep, and your girlfriend buries you under a pile of sand!
