WHO: South Pacific
WHAT: Earthquakes
WHEN: Yesterday around 6:00PM
WHERE: South Pacific, northwest of Vanuatu
WHY: Earthquakes
HOW: Earth plates smashing into each other
Before I read this article I was interested in how many earthquakes have hit around the Pacific Ocean and Asia. I already know that earthquakes are deadly and can be deadly, it can be even more deadly if it happens under the ocean because it can create a tsunami, just like a few weeks ago around Samoa and American Samoa, where a tsunami killed around 100 people. After I read the article I was pretty amazed at how strong the earthquakes were, they measured around 7.1. I learnt that peoples lives were saved because there was a tsunami warning system nearby that warned them of a small tsunami.
