Tsunami warnings were issued in areas throughout the Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii, Alaska, Russia and Japan, after 5.8 inches “Mega”-the sixth common sixth that was ever recorded-which was registered in eastern Russia, the far east of Ozanola at 11:25 am local time (18:25 pm) American geological survey (USGs).
Tsunami waves can reach above 10 feet (3 meters) above the tide level along the coast of Hawaii, Ecuador and Russia, according to a warning issued by American National Tsunami Warning Center At 11:07 pm EST on July 29. The first waves arrived at Hawaii, with a 4 -foot water wall (1.2 m) recorded by a Tsunami warning center in the Pacific Ocean (PTWC) off the Ouhu coast, BBC reports.
Ptwc said in a bulletin. “Urgent action must be taken to protect lives and property.”
The mayor of Honolulu Rick Blangradi warned the population against moving to the governor of Hawaii, Josh Green, urging people to evacuate coastal areas immediately.
At a press conference It was mentioned by CNN“He will not hit a single beach, and it will wrap around the islands,” Green said. -.
In Japan, the officials told that more than 1.9 million people are evacuating as waves with an area of more than 4 feet (1.2 meters) on the northern and eastern coasts of the country, CNN reports.

In North America, Tsunami Consulting It is also in place along the coast of California, Oregon, Washington, British Colombia, Alaska and Aleutian Islands. It is also possible to measure surfing between 3 and 10 feet (1 to 3 meters) along the coasts of Chile, Costa Rica, French Polynesia, Japan, the island of Garfis, Jonston Atoul, Kiribati, Midway Island, Palra Island, Peru, Samoa and Solomon Islands, according to PTWC.
The earthquake center was registered about 74 miles (119 km) southeast of Petropavlovsk-kamchatsky, in the Kamchatka Peninsula, according to USGs. As of midnight, 24 strong wireless tremors that reach more than 5.0 in Russia were reported, with two sizes of 6.9 and 6.3, respectively.
The Kamchatka earthquake is a Megacak as its size is higher than 8.
Kamchatka Peninsula is a population density area located inside The Ring of Fire in the Pacific OceanA horse -shaped horse belt known for its explosive volcanic bangs and intense earthquakes. The ring extends from southern Chile, over the western coast of the Americas, via the islands off Alaska and Russia, the Far East and the bottom across Japan and the Philippines.
Volcanoes arise here because of the tectonic plates participating in a process called merger. This movement reduces the fusion of rocks in the mantle of the earth, creating the pockets of magma that rises to the surface. “What distinguishes the fire loop is that the multiple ocean panels in the Pacific have the limits of spreading there,” Luke VandersenA volcanic specialist at Drexelle University in Philadelphia, previously told direct sciences.
In fact, estimates indicate that 90 % of the limits of the fusion plate are 34,000 miles (55,000 km) in the Pacific Ocean.
Tectonic movements also provoke earthquakes as the panels press each other. “There is a lot of kicks and screaming while grinding the panels against each other,” Jeffrey CarsonFakhri Professor of Techtoones at the University of Sri Lips in New York, previously informed direct sciences. And so is the place The largest earthquake On our planet happens. “
Because of all this activity, the fire loop is home to about 75 % of the active volcanoes of the Earth and is 90 % of all Earthquakes.
In fact, all the five earthquakes that were ever registered in this area occurred:
1. Valdivia earthquake, Chile: Size 9.5, 1960
2. The Great Alaska earthquake, United States: Size 9.2, 1964
3.
4. Totoko earthquake, Japan: Size 9.1, 2011
5. Kamchatka earthquake, Russia: Size 9.0, 1952
This last earthquake comes in the sixteenth place with the Maule earthquake in Chile in 2010 and the Ecuador-Columbia earthquake in 1906, all of which is 8.8.
