Tsunami alert for magnitude 8.1 earthquake in New Zealand

New Zealand has the highest number of terrestrial strongholds.

The highest and most recent estimate was made by the United States Geological Survey in magnitude 8.1. This is a provocation that is issuing a tsunami warning in the Pacific for multiple islands. Including Hawaii is a tsunami alert.

The epicenter of a moving earth is located at 29.7 ° latitude, longitude 177.2 degrees west. It is estimated that there is a depth of 10 kilometers.

More recently, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake shook the northern part of New Zealand, prompting an initial tsunami alert to be issued, stating that there were currently no material or victims.

More late in the day, another 7.5 magnitude seismic impact affected the zone.

New Zealand, with a population of 4.6 million inhabitants, is located in the fall between the tectonic sites of the Pacific and Oceania and registers 14,000 earthquakes each year, of which between 100 and 150 have sufficient potential to be permitted.

On February 22, 2011, 185 people were killed in a magnitude 6.3 earthquake that affected the Christchurch city, in the Sur island, and caused 30,000 deaths.
