Magnitude 6.1 Earthquake Rocks North Pacific Ocean
A big shake happened in the North Pacific Ocean on Monday.
The earthquake was strong, measuring 6.1 on the strength scale.
It happened very close to the surface, only 10 kilometers deep.
This is important because shallow earthquakes can cause more shaking and damage than deep ones.
This part of the ocean is known as the 'Ring of Fire' because it's where many earthquakes happen.
It's like a giant circle around the ocean where the Earth's big rocky plates meet and move against each other.
Most of the world's biggest earthquakes happen in this area.
This specific shake was located at 39.64 degrees North latitude and 143.51 degrees East longitude.
A magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in the North Pacific Ocean on Monday.
The earthquake was recorded by the National Center for Seismology (NCS).
It happened at a shallow depth of 10 km, increasing the potential for aftershocks.
The event took place at Latitude 39.64 N, Longitude 143.51 E.
The location is part of the circum-Pacific seismic belt, also known as the 'Ring of Fire', where most of the world's large earthquakes occur.
