6.6 Earthquake earthquake attacks near Samoa: the subscription of deep tramore under the Pacific; There is no tsunami threat, USGS says

According to the United States Geological Survey, the 6.6 magnitude earthquake occurred near the south -western coasts of Samoa in Pacific on Friday.The seismic incident was recorded at 12:37 pm (2337 GMT Thursday), which was 314 kilometers (195 mi) below the surface and over 400 km from the south -western coast of Samoa, as the AFP quoted the USGS.The US tsunami warning agency said that “there was no tsunami threat”.The South Pacific region often experiences earthquakes due to its location with seismic “ring of fire” – an area of significant tectonic activity spread through South East Asia and through the Pacific Basin.While in these phenomena, areas with low population density cause widespread damage, they have the ability to close disastrous landslides.
