5.5 magnitude Oregon earthquake

No tsunami risk.

Global seismic activity increases.

A 5.5 magnitude earthquake shook the Oregon coast early Monday morning, amid an increase in seismic activity across different regions of the world.

The event occurred several miles offshore, reducing the direct impact on populated areas, although some residents reported feeling the tremor.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake was recorded at 4:35 a.m. local time off the coast of the state.

The epicenter was located approximately 217 kilometers west of Bandon, with an estimated depth of about 10 kilometers.

Despite the low intensity felt in affected areas, experts continue monitoring the region for possible aftershocks.

Surveillance remains active due to Oregon’s location within the Pacific Ring of Fire.

A chain of earthquakes in different parts of the world

The earthquake in the United States occurred shortly after another 5.6 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Northern California.

Both events add to recent earthquakes in Venezuela, where the situation remains critical following stronger seismic activity.

In recent days, countries such as Japan, the Philippines, and Nicaragua have also reported significant earthquake activity.

This sequence has raised concerns among experts monitoring the behavior of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Experts analyze the increase in global seismic activity

The rise in earthquakes across different parts of the planet has once again highlighted the tectonic activity of the Pacific region.

The Pacific Ring of Fire contains a large portion of the world’s earthquakes due to the constant interaction between tectonic plates.

Although these events are not always directly connected, their close timing has attracted international attention.

For now, authorities continue monitoring the situation without issuing major alerts, but with ongoing surveillance, according to Fox Weather.
