I haven't researched this story enough to vouch for its accuracy/provenance, but it seemed intriguing enough to post.

Anomalous Worldwide Tectonic Event

With a variance of eleven minutes total, the events are far too close in their time of occurrence to be from a near surface source. In order to achieve the arrival times shown in the list above, an event would have to take place deep in the Earth's mantle, or more likely in the outer or inner core, an area not known for seismic events. The problem with this concept is that the mantle is believed to be mainly molten lava on which the outer crust is floating. The core is thought to be mostly iron, with the outer core being liquid and the inner being solid. Thus there could be no "earthquake" in these regions unless some massive external magnetic force was applied that could momentarily disturb the position and movement of the liquid iron in the outer core.
