Learn more about last night's M8.8 from Professor Diego Melgar, the director of the Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (@cascadiaeqs.bsky.social).

One of the largest earthquakes ever recorded sent tsunami waves across the Pacific. 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

Around 11:30 am local time, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the offshore Kamchatka region at a depth of about 20 kilometers. The subduction zone quake caused severe shaking on the Kamchatka peninsula and triggered tsunami warnings and advisories around the Pacific. (1/n)

Watch how seismometers recorded the passing earthquake waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. Each dot in this animation is a seismic station—red 🔴 means the ground moved up, blue 🔵 means it moved down. More ➡️ https://loom.ly/6Eo_fYc
