The land beneath Sichuan Province in China continues to rumble, with four moderate earthquakes assigned magnitudes between 5.1 to 5.4 recorded yesterday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

A massive, 7.9 earthquake on Monday killed an estimated 12,000 people, the USGS said.

The quakes have occurred in an area about 960 miles southwest of Beijing.
