If it is acoustics, not plate techtones, the ideas and theories about
magnitude and the various other intensities, need rewriting.

And finally: Just before the swarm was remarkable off the North
American western coast this series of volcanic events was remarked:

A lot is left to be described with the theory of acoustic channeling
that I propose but swarms of small quakes about volcanoes is easily
one of the most obvious. And it fits in with the work of Bernard
Chouet:

"The concept of long-period events was originally used by people at
the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory to describe an event that has
characteristics distinct from a so-called tectonic earthquake.

If you’re looking at a seismogram of a tectonic earthquake, its
spectrum is very broad. In contrast, a long-period event has a very,
very sharp spectrum, what we call a resonant spectrum.

If you compare seismic traces, it’s immediately apparent that the long-
period event looks like a ringing bell and the other looks like a mess
of all different frequencies piled up on each other.

That very, very narrow spectrum is the tell-tale sign of a resonator.
Think of a bell sound. An organ pipe. They’re all different types of
resonators in nature."

In fact the "long-period events" can be taken as the required
definition of the sound of a particular storm -or the major part of
it, whose acoustic channeling is being read as earthquake data in such
things.

It gives us part of the chain of overlapping sound waves that can
become the so called magnitude 6, 7 and greater earthquakes.

All we need do now is quantify what power output these waves
represent. Collate the particular storms involved at the time and mash
them all together.

We will come up with a mixture of values of low intensity sounds from
distant storms and high intensity stuff from those nearer home.

And the only thing that I am sure about in all this is that the
frequencies will be related to the angular distances to the storms and
the so called epicentres.
