Multiple earthquakes rattle Nevada where the ground is at risk of SPLITTING apart

Nevada has experienced a surge in seismic activity over the past five hours.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) recorded seven earthquakes, the strongest a 3.6-magnitude tremor that struck at 5:44am ET.

The epicenter was Valmy, a small town located along several active fault lines, including the Fairview Peak-Dixie Valley Fault Scarps, the Central Nevada Seismic Belt and the Pleasant Valley Fault, which is capable of producing a quake up to magnitude 7.7.
The swarm was likely driven by tectonic forces along the fault systems of the Basin and Range Province.
NASA explained: 'The Earth's crust in the Basin and Range Province is gradually expanding, cracking into hundreds of faults as it thins." msn
