What awaits Kamchatka: the epicenters of strong earthquakes on the peninsula in the future are named

Strong tremors can cause landslides, avalanches, and damage to infrastructure.

On August 30, an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the northern Kuril Islands. The source of the seismic event, recorded at 09:58 (01:58 Moscow time), lay at a depth of 25 km, and residents of Severo-Kurilsk could feel its tremors. Semenova clarified that the tsunami threat had not been announced.

On August 27, the journal Nature Geoscience reported that a new tectonic fault is forming under the Atlantic Ocean, which can lead to powerful earthquakes and tsunamis. The authors of the work believe that over millions of years, water penetrated into the rocks and gradually weakened them. As a result, a new large subduction zone has emerged in the Atlantic, which in the future may cause devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as the displacement of lithospheric plates.
