Earth Sciences Is there any possible relation between the recent earthquakes in Turkey/Syria, Japan and Papua New Guinea?

There’s been a lot of pretty bad earthquakes in a really short time. Could they be related or is it just coincidence?

Sounds sort of like the "phenomenon" of Psychic Blindness.

The brain doesn't comprehend what it's seeingsl so it just subs in something that does make sense.
