Is It Me Or.

Are we seeing more earthquakes in places where there'd normally not be any?

I don't know, but possibly. Of course, there is this:

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matthew 24:6-8; Mark 13:7-8 NIV).

So even if the number of earthquakes per year hasn't changed in 2000 years, we now have the means to instantly know about earthquakes (and wars and famines) so it appears that way. Perhaps this is what the author meant.
