Map sucks[edit]

The map doesn't not provide much context, is too small to understand the relative size of the island compared to the rest of japan and surrounding territories. I mean, just look at it, it's a circle around a dot, and the second map is basically a circle in a random spot in the ocean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neuroelectronic (talk • contribs) 03:43, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Also, Guam isn't the farthest west US territory, since it's located at longitude 144 EAST. Alaska has the US's farthest north, east, and west points.

What is a Current caretaker King of Guam[edit]

This is not explained anywhere else in the page. Is this a real thing, or is someone playing a joke? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.70.122.65 (talk) 20:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Earthquakes and tectonic situation[edit]

Guam is actually not "on the western edge of the Pacific Plate" but rather on the Mariana Plate, a micro tectonic plate situated between the Philippine Sea Plate to the west and the Pacific plate to the east. Earthquakes originate in a subduction zone to the east of Guam where the Pacific Plate subducts under the Mariana Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate. The text has been corrected and a USGS ref added.

Nor is it "the westernmost point...in the United States."[edit]

It is across the International Date Line from North America, and therefore the Easternmost point!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.71.146.77 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
