At 9:49 p.m. this Monday in Chile there was a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Vanuatu, in the South Pacific, according to the United States Seismological Survey (USGS).
Along these lines, the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (SHOA) of the Navy indicated that the movement does not meet the necessary conditions to generate a tsunami off the coast of Chile, Onemi reported.
The USGS report established that the movement occurred 90 kilometers west of Port-Vila, ten kilometers deep.
Like Chile, Vanuatu is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, for which it registers telluric movements frequently.
An example of this is that on Wednesday the 10th it was part of the countries warned of a possible tsunami after the magnitude earthquake 7.7 that shook the Loyalty Islands and New Caledonia.
