Figure 2. Comparison of the temporal evolution of magnitude 2.5+ earthquakes within each Salton Sea swarm dataset (y-axis lists year; color-coding as in Figure 1). The temporal behavior of the first 2.5 days of these sequences shows some similarities, exhibiting bursts of seismicity followed by quiescence, a typical signature of earthquake swarms.
