If you're following a country hashtag in a seismically-active region like I do, you've probably seen earthquake toots like this. But I actually wonder how useful these are especially when the magnitude are in the sub-M3.0 range like this one.

I could mute this account, but then I actually want to be notified if the magnitude is M4.5 or above. Being able to conditionally mute would be a killer power feature. 🤔

A #Subduction zone is a geological area where two tectonic plates collide, and one plate sinks or "subducts" beneath the other and is forced into the Earth's mantle.

This process is a result of density differences between the two plates and can trigger powerful #Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and #Tsunamis.
