Alaska Shakes in Terror: 7.3‑Mag Quake Followed by 6.2‑Mag Tremor in Just Four Days

Alaska(The Uttam Hindu): Alaska’s seismically active coastline has experienced two significant earthquakes within the span of a week, according to the National Center for Seismology (NCS). The region, known for its frequent tectonic activity due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, recorded back-to-back tremors that have raised concerns among residents and authorities.

Seismologists confirmed that the first earthquake struck earlier this week, followed by another strong tremor just days later. While both quakes were powerful enough to be widely felt across nearby communities, there were no immediate reports of major damage or casualties. However, emergency teams and local authorities remain on high alert, monitoring aftershocks and assessing potential risks to infrastructure and coastal areas.

Experts have stated that Alaska’s unique geological position makes it one of the most earthquake-prone regions in the United States. The NCS has advised residents to stay prepared, follow safety protocols, and remain updated through official alerts. Scientists continue to study the seismic patterns to better understand the recent uptick in activity and its possible connection to ongoing tectonic movements in the area.
