@Oseas
Perhaps you should be associating earthquakes with Romans 8:22: -
For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
Yes, I once was following the number of earthquakes greater than 5 on the Ricker Scale and for many years the number of earthquakes above 5 were relatively low, but in the last few decades the number of earthquakes per year above 5 has increased significantly, but the earthquakes are a sign of the earth actually heating up and the earth's crust's faults giving way to allow the earth to rebalance all of the forces operating with the earth heating up.
It is like a steel pressure vessel, as the internal pressure rises, so the dislocation in the steel plate from which it is made creaks and groans as the stresses in the steel shell of the vessel increases and the dislocations move, ever so slightly until the stress in the shell causes the streel plate to rupture where the dislocation in the steel material to congregate together at a stress riser such that the steel plate from which the pressure vessel is made fails. Where the vessel contains a gaseous fluid, the failure will be catastrophic and the vessel will peel open and even "fly" as the stored energy dissipates. However, when the pressure vessel is filled with a liquid fluid, the failure is not as catastrophic as with a gaseous fluid and the liquid fluid seeps out of the developing cracks and the pressure in the pressure vessel dissipates very rapidly.
The earth is like a pressure vessel filled with a liquid, in the earth's case, a very hot fluid, called lava, and the lava escapes through the earth's crust to form volcanos, generally along the earth's fault lines.
The Mt Olivet discourse on the signs that will be seen are associated with what will happen to, and because of, the people when the signs occur.
The evidences in your above post does not prove the point that you are trying to make but from my understanding, where Greek words have the embedded Greek root word G:4578, the context of the text is best when we paraphrase them in the English translations as "turmoil."
Have you ever see an earthquake in a fluid? It is physically impossible for an earthquake to occur in a fluid, but the same Greek word is translated as "earthquake" in this list were this Greek word occurs except for the first occurrence: - Matthew 8:24, 28:2, Acts 16:26, Revelation 6:12, 11:13, 11:19, 16:18, 16:18. In Matthew 8:24, Jesus and the disciples were in boat on the Lake of Galilei and the tempest blowing was causing turmoil in the waters of the lake and the boat was in grave danger of being sunk by the turmoil in the water. That was what the disciples were afraid of and not the wind causing the wave action. If the translators were going to be consistent, then they needed to use a very different English word to describe what was occurring. The same English word can be used for these three occurrences in Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8 and Luke 21:11 which also have G:4578 embedded in them. For me that English Word is "Turmoil."
So far you have not convinced me that your understanding is believable.
Have a good day, sir.
