On 10/13/2026 12:23:07 PM, an earthquake occurred in Central Mid-Atlantic Ridge potentially affecting No people affected in 100km. The earthquake had Magnitude 6.9M, Depth:10km.
A large magnitude 6.9 earthquake occurred deep under the ocean along the Central Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Because this happened far out at sea, no people were living within 100 kilometers of the shaking.
What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when large pieces of Earth’s crust, called tectonic plates, suddenly slip past each other. These plates are always moving slowly, but sometimes they get stuck. When the pressure builds up and finally breaks free, it releases energy in waves that make the ground shake.
If you ever feel the ground shake, remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the shaking stops.
