- Chivomezi champhamvu chawononga Alaska Peninsula.
- Chivomezi chimagwedeza anthu okhala ku Perryville.
- Palibe imfa, kuvulala kapena zowonongeka zomwe zanenedwa.
Bungwe la US Geological Survey (USGS) linanena kuti chivomezi champhamvu cha 6.9 chachitika ku Alaska Peninsula Loweruka m'mawa.
The USGS Chivomezicho chinati chivomezicho chinali 6.9 pa sikelo ya kukula kwake, ndipo chiwerengero chomwe chimatchedwa “champhamvu” ndi kachigawo kakang’ono ka mfundo pansi pa “chachikulu.”
Chivomezichi, chomwe chikanasokoneza malo omanga, chagwedeza midzi ya Perryville, m'dera lomwe ladzaza ndi zivomezi.
Chivomezicho chinachitika pafupi ndi gombe la nyanja Alaska Peninsula, kanjira kakang’ono ka nthaka ndi zisumbu zimene zimachokera ku chigawo cha Alaska n’kukafika ku nyanja ya Pacific kupita ku Russia. Chilumbachi chili ndi anthu ochepa, ndipo tawuni yapafupi ndi komwe kudachitika chivomezichi ndi Perryville, komwe kumakhala anthu pafupifupi 100, komwe kuli pafupifupi 85 miles (136km) kumpoto chakumadzulo.
Chilumbachi ndi malo ochititsa chidwi kwambiri, ndipo chimakhala pamwamba pa malo ochitira misonkhano ya North Pacific ndi North America tectonic plates. Kumeneko kuli mapiri ambiri ophulika, ndipo nthawi zambiri amawona zivomezi zazikulu. Chakumapeto kwa mwezi watha chivomezi champhamvu cha 8.2 chinagunda pamalo omwewo pomwe chivomezi chinachitika Loweruka, ndipo chinatsatiridwa ndi zivomezi zitatu za 5.9, 6.1, ndi 6.9 magnitude. Chivomezichi chinali chachikulu kwambiri chomwe chinachitika ku United States kuyambira mu 1965, ndipo chinali chachikulu kwambiri m’mbiri yapadziko lonse chiyambire 2018. Komabe, palibe amene anavulala.
