Series of powerful earthquakes hit the Loyote Islands
(ORDO NEWS) — Loyote is a group of coral islands in the Pacific Ocean. The epicenters of all tremors were located in the ocean and followed one after another – 6.0, 5.7, 6.1 and the most powerful with a magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale.
The epicenters of all earthquakes were located very shallow, about 10 km below the ocean surface.
Tsunamis are very possible. This is a very strong earthquake that will possibly lead to more earthquakes around the world. Prepare to evacuate if you live near the coast in Western Australia or New Zealand.
The United States has already started issuing a tsunami wave warning, information is constantly being updated.
The authorities are still assessing the possible threat of a tsunami on the west coast of the United States.
Tsunami warnings have been issued for New Zealand, Australia and several other parts of the Pacific Ocean following a massive 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Loyalty Island in New Caledonia. Authorities have warned that tsunami waves can reach heights of over one meter and could strike in the next few hours.
A warning about a tsunami wave with a wave height of more than one meter (no one can say for sure) is announced for:
American Samoa
Australia
Chuuk
Cook Islands
Fiji
French Polynesia
Howland and Baker
Island Jarvis
Island Kermadec
Kiribati
Kosrae
Marshall Islands
Nauru
New Caledonia
New Zealand

Island Palmyra
Papua – New Guinea
Pohnpei
Samoa
Solomon islands

The National Tsunami Warning Centers have called on local governments to act immediately and warn coastal residents. Those who live in the immediate vicinity must follow the instructions of the local authorities.

Rise of hot lava under the Atlantic warms the world’s oceans
New seismic data from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean show that hot rocks (hot basalt, the ocean version of hot lava with a temperature of 1,177 degrees C) rise under the Mid-Atlantic Ridge from a depth of more than 600 kilometers in the Earth‘s mantle…
