Today, Wednesday August 9, a series of tremors have been reported in the USA, according to real-time updates from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Therefore, so that you stay alert, we share the latest information -IN REAL TIME- of the epicenter, magnitude and depth; as well as the measures that the government has taken to mitigate the impact of these natural events. Contrary to the common belief that earthquakes are limited to places like California or Alaska, the reality is that these phenomena also affect the Midwest and East of the North American country, as well as eastern Canada, with a history of earthquakes from both high and low intensity. Annually, more than 900,000 earthquakes are recorded worldwide, although the vast majority have a magnitude of 2.5 or less. Significant earthquakes (magnitude 8.0 or greater) occur approximately every 5 to 10 years. However, these larger events tend to take place along the edges of the tectonic plates, rather than impacting the eastern and midwestern US, despite the fact that there are areas more susceptible to earthquakes than others such as Charleston, South Carolina, eastern Massachusetts, the St. Lawrence River region, and the central Mississippi River Valley, reports Michigan Tech.
