The strong earthquake of 8.0 on the Richter scale off Russia occurred at 10:24 a.m. on July 30, local time.
The US Geological Survey (USGS), one of the key international agencies monitoring seismic activity worldwide, said the earthquake had a strong earthquake of 8.0 on the Richter scale near Petropavlovsk- Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia.
Meanwhile, the French National Seismic Monitoring Agency (ReNaSS) recorded the earthquake at 7.4 degrees richter. Other earthquake monitoring agencies have also reported a strong earthquake near Russia, with Geoscience Australia (Geo Au Au) recording a 7.8-degree earthquake and the German Center for Geological Sciences (GFZ) recording a 7.0-degree earthquake.
VolcanoDiscovery said that the latest earthquake was very shallow, only 19.3km deep and many people near the center of the earthquake could clearly feel the effects of the earthquake.
The entire state of Hawaii is undergoing Tsunami monitoring after an 8.0-magnitude richterlide occurred off the east coast of Russia.
The Pacific City Tsunami Warning Center said such a powerful earthquake could cause a devastating Tsunami in coastal areas, even far from the center.
" An investigation is underway to determine whether there is any Tsunami threat to Hawaii," the Pacific Hurricane Warning Center (PTWC) said.
The authoritative Hurricane Warning for Alaska's Aleutian Islands means some waves are possible, but the warning is a level lower than the authoritative Hurricane Warning.
