A major, preliminary magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck in the South Atlantic Ocean late Thursday, the United States Geological Survey reported, prompting Chilean authorities to issue an advisory for a potential tsunami along parts of Antarctica.

This is just one of the many earthquakes that are being reported this month. A M8.8 in Russia and a M6.3 in Indonesia, while the Australian continent experienced a moderate M5.6 in Queensland and a magnitude 5.5 on August 19.

NEW STUDY ON THE CASCADIA FAULT: EARTHQUAKES THAT COULD SINK CITIES. The Cascadia Fault is one of the greatest seismic threats in North America. Recent studies show that, in addition to massive earthquakes and tsunamis, parts of the coastline could suddenly sink, creating permanent risks for coastal cities and communities. In this video, we explain what science has revealed about the Cascadia Fault, the potential impacts on the Pacific Northwest, and—most importantly—how preparation can save lives. Based on data from the USGS and research led by Dr. Tina Dura of Virginia Tech, this video provides reliable insights into seismic hazards and the urgent need for preparedness.
