6.0 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Coral Sea

6.0 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Coral Sea

A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 shook the Coral Sea.

This means the ground moved a lot, but luckily, there haven't been reports of injuries or damage.

This area is known for earthquakes because of how the Earth's plates move under the ocean.

The earthquake happened because one plate is moving under another.

Shallow earthquakes, like this one, can be more dangerous.

In 2024, a larger earthquake in Port Vila caused damage and loss of life.

Authorities are keeping a close watch to see if anything else happens.
