But this is crazy!! How is there another powerful quake in the Solomon Islands?!?!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25540766


Not release...
This is tension and "pulling"...
 Quoting: Earth420


Yep. Feels like it is tension and "pulling" from the other side of the Ring of Fire on the U.S. West coast.

Thank a for answering and is it possible this can be a foreshock since there was already a 6.8 earthquake there like and hour or two ago?

Those both went into event mode after the first 6.9 Solomon Islands quake. : )

This new one that just happened is deeper than the first.

 Quoting: ALFEY


Hoping we aren't about to see something a lot bigger there. To see another one this soon, and almost the same exact magnitude as the one a little while ago is a bit worrisome.

It's definitely not over yet. We'll see more large ones over the next week-ish. Not limited to the Solomon Islands either.

Buckle up!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25540766


Now they've revised the depth back to 10km.

But to answer your question, a shallow EQ on land is worse than a deep EQ on land. As far as damage from the EQ.

A deeper EQ in the ocean is worse than a shallow EQ in the ocean...again regarding potential damage. Here's why. : )

As a tsunami approaches land, the size increases
The speed and size of a tsunami is controlled by water depth. In the deep ocean tsunami waves may be unnoticed by ships or from the air. As the wave approaches land it reaches shallow water and slows down. Relative to the front of the wave, the rear is still in slightly deeper water (so it is going slightly faster) and catches up. The result is that the wave quickly 'bunches up', the wavelength becomes shorter and the body of water becomes much higher. This is called shoaling.

Tsunamis are fast
In the deep ocean, a tsunami can travel at more than 900 kilometres per hour, close to the speed of a jumbo jet, and in shallow water, it can be described as roughly the speed of a fast cyclist.
