Earthquake swarm hits near Nevada supervolcano sparking eruption fears

The pair of quakes struck approximately 30 miles from Valmy, a small town located along several active fault lines in the region, including the Fairview Peak-Dixie Valley Fault Scarps, the Central Nevada Seismic Belt, and the Pleasant Valley Fault. The early morning earthquakes also took place just days after multiple seismic swarms struck the area, including 38 quakes recorded around Valmy in the last week alone.
