| Jushua (OP) User ID: 1298063 Netherlands06/16/2011 04:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | SYDNEY, June 16 -- An earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale jolted New Britain region, Papua New Guinea at 0003 GMT on Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey said, but no tsunami warning was issued. The epicenter, with a depth of 21.50 km, was initially determined to be at 5.9944 degrees south latitude and 151.0950 degrees east longitude. The quake struck 175 km east of Kandrian on New Britain and 577 km northeast of the capital Port Moresby. An official at Geoscience Australia that it was not likely to have caused any damage. Papua New Guinea, which is mired in poverty despite rich mineral deposits, sits on the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire", a hotspot for seismic activity due to friction between tectonic plates.

After seeing what happened in Chile and the Eretrian/Ethopian border over the last week, could this be another volcano waking up? Does anyone know if there is one in that immediate area? Just watching, as always, and wondering? stay safe I started this thread about an hour ago. Thanks for more information. The new britain region has been having medium to medium large quakes for the last month or so, I've noticed. But never 8 (well 7 if you say the first was a double) in 7 hours! All we can do is keep watching and see if it continues, or if it quietens down. With the Chile and Etheopian volcanos in the southern hemisphere over the last week or so, it's been a scary week. Maybe it's not over yet? Always just watching, wondering ; ) stay safe. |
