7.4 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Russia's Kamchatka

7.4 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Russia's Kamchatka

Imagine the ground suddenly shaking really hard!

That's what happened off the coast of Russia near a place called Kamchatka.

The shake, called an earthquake, was a strong one, measured at 7.4.

It happened on Sunday.

Because the earthquake happened under the ocean, there was a worry that a big wave, called a tsunami, might form and head towards land.

People were warned, but luckily, the big wave didn't happen, and the warning was taken away.

Everything is okay now.
