An earthquake today: On Saturday, an earthquake of 6 in size to the east of Kuril Islands in Russia hit.
The earthquake was at a depth of 10 km (6.2 million), said EMSC.
On July 30, on the east coast of the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula, a powerful earthquake of 8.8 size, which triggered a warning tsunami in parts of Russia.
The earthquake came from the convergent border between the Pacific Plate and Okhotsk Sea Plate (often associated with the North American album in this area) in the ditch Kuril-Kamchatka.
The massive earthquake was followed by several strong shocks.
The islands of Kuril stretch from the southern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
August 3 other earthquakes of 6.8 appeared on the islands.
According to the Russian Academy of Sciences, the earthquake was 30 July. July the strongest off the coast of Russia since 1952.
American geological survey (USGS) called it the sixth largest earthquake ever to record modern seismic tools, part of an active sequence of activity that recorded 50 earthquakes with 5.0 or more in 10 days to the 30th July event.
Six rings of the volcano in this area were before a massive earthquake, and since then it has become more and more lively.
“We attribute eruptions an earthquake that activated magmatic deposits and provided them with other energy,” said Alexey Ozerov, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the director of the Institute of volcanic and Seismology, according to ABC News.
The event is “an extremely rare phenomenon that can be described as a show of volcanic eruptions,” Ozerov added.
This is the first time in about 300 years, when these many volcanoes set out in such a close proximity.
Volcano Kraseninnikov, one of the eight active volcanoes from the Kronot Reserve and about 150 miles from the Earthquake Epicenter, has not shown the lava flow since 1463.
