Earthweek: earthquakes


Earthweek: earthquakes
Iceland was struck by the most powerful earthquakes it had seen in 90 years during their celebrations of their national day. Extensive damage was caused by the 6.6 tremor but there were no injuries as most people were outside to enjoy the celebrations. Another large quake occurred 4 days later and caused further damage. A quake also occurred in northern Italy which caused damage to 2 historic churches, while earth movements were felt in the Cook Islands, Japan, Chile and Guatemala.
