Seismologists Work to Uncover the Cause of Earthquake Swarms in Utah
Seismologists Work to Uncover the Cause of , Earthquake Swarms in Utah.
According to new research,
earthquake swarms in the state of Utah
may be linked to geothermal energy.
.
Fox News reports that seismologists at the University
of Utah are going over decades of seismic data to
determine the cause of earthquake swarms in the area.
The team of researchers believes that the series
of tremors may be powered by a combination
of hot water and geothermal activity.
Seismograph stations at the university have
detected sequences of earthquakes of
1.5 magnitude or greater over the past 40 years.
Upon closer examination, the team was able
to identify hundreds of additional smaller
earthquakes occurring in 50 distinct sequences.
We’re all worried about
the Wasatch Front, but the
other thing to know is we have
earthquakes all over Utah, Gesa Petersen, postdoctoral research fellow
at the University of Utah, via Fox News.
We recorded a certain level, but in
some of these places there’s probably
earthquakes happening all the
time that we just don’t see.

That’s something that’s really
important to get an understanding of, Gesa Petersen, postdoctoral research fellow

Credit Card Delinquencies , Are on the Rise.
New York Federal Reserve data that was published on May 15 shows that credit card delinquencies kept rising from January to March, Fox Business reports. .
In Q1 2024, delinquencies reached
8.9% at an annualized rate.
America hasn't seen this high of a
percentage of serious credit card
delinquencies since 2012, Fox News reports. .
In the first quarter of 2024, credit
card and auto loan transition rates
into serious delinquency continued
to rise across all age groups, Joelle Scally, regional economic principal within the Household and
Public Policy Research Division at the New York Fed, via Fox Business.
An increasing number of borrowers
missed credit card payments,
revealing worsening financial
distress among some households, Joelle Scally, regional economic principal within the Household and
Public Policy Research Division at the New York Fed, via Fox Business.
Researchers aren't sure why delinquencies
are so high since the unemployment rate
is low, but they have a few theories.
One of those theories is that consumers drained savings throughout the pandemic
but continue to spend at high levels.
Another theory is that some Americans switched to jobs with lower salaries.
Additionally, credit card eligibility may have been expanded for many whose student debt wasn't being reported to credit bureaus amid the pandemic.
These are all kinds of complex issues.
We don't exactly know what's behind the
increase of these delinquency rates. But it's
definitely something that we're tracking, New York Fed researchers, via Fox Business.
The average annual percentage rate for
credit cards hit a record of 20.72% recently.
