According to the United States Geological Survey, which was hit in the North Pacific Ozean on Friday in North Pacific Ocean in the North Pacific Ocean. The earthquake triggered an order Tsunami adviceThe second highest warning, for some coastal shares of Westalaska, which was raised about two hours later.
The Temblor occurred at 6:58 a.m. Kamchatka period about 80 miles east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, show data from the agency.
Tsunamis are a Series of long waves caused by a large and sudden shift of water in the sea, usually from a large earthquake on or below the sea floor. Tsunamis radiate in all directions from the epicenter and can lead to dangerous floods on coasts and strong currents that can take hours or days.
The Tsunami Council existed for parts of the Alaskan coast that were closest to the earthquake. Further away, the Pacific Tsunami warning center in Honolulu said that there is no threat to Hawaii. “Based on all available data, a destructive Pacific Tsunami is not expected,” it said.
At the end of July, the same region was hit by an earthquake of 8.8 magnitude. This quake, one of the strongest that have ever been recorded, Trigger tsunami waves That reached to Hawaii and California.
The Kamchatka peninsula in Russia’s Far East is so well known for its wilderness and lack of communication connections that it has become an “remote control” in the country. Kamchatka is sparsely populated, and around 300,000 inhabitants mainly concentrate in three large cities in the south of the peninsula, including Petropavlowsk-Kamchatsky.
Move around Kamchatka is difficult: The peninsula has only a few hundred miles paved roads, mainly in the capitals, and there are no streets to cross the Schwampland, which separates it from the mainland.
In this peninsula, tremors are regularly reported with volcanoes, some of which broke out every year, and it has become a popular destination for tourism in recent years. Travel agencies offer camping, helicopter and off-road tours for visitors to see the volcanoes or to move the pristine forests and rivers.
If seismologists check the available data, you can revise the registered size of the earthquake. Additional information about the earthquake can also cause USGS scientists to update the Shake Severity card.
Aftersonation in the region
A wicking is usually a smaller earthquake that follows a larger one in the same general area. Aftershocks are usually minor adjustments along the part of an error that slipped at the time of the initial earthquake.

Aftershear can occur days, weeks or even years after the first earthquake. These events can be the same or larger as the initial earthquake and you can still influence damaged locations.

If Aftershock data are available, the corresponding cards and diagrams contain earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days after the initial quake. All times above are Kamchatka time. Shake data will take place on Friday, September 19th at 7:16 a.m. Kamchatka time. Post -dates will take place on Friday, September 19th at 4:44 p.m. Kamchatka Time.
