A powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquake has struck off the Solomon Islands
in the Pacific Ocean, generating a "potentially destructive" tsunami.
The quake struck at a depth of 5.8km (3.6 miles) near the Santa Cruz
islands, part of the Solomon Islands nation, the US Geological Survey said.

A tsunami warning was issued for the South Pacific islands by the Pacific
Tsunami Warning Centre. The centre said the tsunami could be destructive near
the epicentre. The warning was issued for the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Nauru,
Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, New Caledonia, Kosrae, Fiji, Kiribati, and Wallis
and Futuna islands. A tsunami watch was issued for other nations in the South
Pacific, including Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia.

However, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology later said Australia was not
at risk from a tsunami. The quake struck at 01:12 GMT and France later issued
a tsunami warning for its New Caledonia territory, saying that the wave could
strike at about 03:00 GMT. Residents near the coast were being advised to
evacuate.

The tsunami warning centre said a wave measuring 0.91m (3ft) had struck Lata
Wharf in the Santa Cruz islands. The Solomon Islands form part of "The RING
OF FIRE," a zone of volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches encircling the Pacific
basin.

The 8.0 earthquake was followed by several aftershocks, the largest measuring
6.4 magnitude. The region has been experiencing a series of smaller quakes in
recent days. In 2007 an 8.1 magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami that
killed at least 52 people in the Solomons and left thousands homeless.

SOLOMON ISLANDS IN BRIEF: The breathtaking paradise of the nearly 1,000
islands that make up the sovereign state of the SOLOMON ISLANDS is a haven
for divers, snorkelers, and beach loungers alike. The SOLOMON ISLANDS are
located in the Oceania region of the Pacific Ocean, East of Papua New Guinea,
and are home to just over half a million people. The ancient peoples of the
Solomon Islands first arrived an estimated 32,000 years ago, and were known
for headhunting and cannibalism before the arrival of Europeans in the late
1500s. Today, the SOLOMON ISLANDS area has been rising in popularity as a
destination for scuba divers, though the growth of tourism has been slowed
due to lack of infrastructure and transportation difficulties. But for those
who can get there, the Solomon Islands are an unmatched slice of heaven on
Earth.

UPDATE FEBRUARY 6, 2013 4:35 A.M. CDT (9:45 UTC) Many media are reporting that at least five people have died from a tsunami in a remote part of the Solomon Islands, near Australia, after a rare and powerful 8.0 magnitude earthquake earlier today. The tsunami triggered evacuations across the South Pacific. The quake struck 340 km (211 miles) east of Kira Kira in the Solomons. At least 100 homes in the community of Lata are said to have been destroyed in the tsunami. Water and electricity remain down there at this writing. There are unconfirmed reports of fishermen swept out to sea./p>

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the magnitude-8.0 earthquake struck at 01:22 UTC on February 6, 2013 (Tuesday evening, June 5, in continental U.S.). The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a warning for places in the Pacific near the epicenter, and a watch elsewhere in the Pacific. It later canceled the warnings for the outlying regions. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center commented in their bulletin:

AN EARTHQUAKE OF THIS SIZE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GENERATE A DESTRUCTIVE TSUNAMI THAT CAN STRIKE COASTLINES NEAR THE EPICENTER WITHIN MINUTES AND MORE DISTANT COASTLINES WITHIN HOURS.

Here are the details of the earthquke from USGS.

A 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck near the Solomon Islands on February 6, 2013 (February 5 in U.S. and Europe).

Magnitude 8 earthquakes are rare and happen most often in the region around the Pacific Ocean known as the Ring of Fire. This region is extremely geologically active due to the movement of land plates. Read more about this image, and about magnitude 8.0 earthquakes since 1900, from USGS.

Magnitude 8 earthquakes are rare. The February 6, 2013 earthquake occurred as a result of faulting – the movement of rocks along a fracture in Earth’s crust – on or near the plate boundary interface between the Australia and Pacific plates. In the region of this earthquake, the Australia plate converges with and subducts – or dives – beneath the Pacific plate, moving towards the east-northeast at a rate of approximately 94 mm/year.

Here is the original bulletin from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (later cancelled):

ISSUED AT 0118Z 06 FEB 2013

Subsidence in the Solomon Islands, where Santa Cruz Islands are a subset island group, is marked on the below map dated November 21, 2012. Areas with red checks are subsiding over periods of years. The Santa Cruz Islands are inside both of the two triangles drawn in black and red. The map was made to show areas for TimeStar glyphs in November and December 2012, and I added the stress points with red checks to show where subsidence is ongoing. The red checked areas are displacing stress onto Alaska, Canada and USA’s West Coast. Seismologists might argue these stress points, but they just discovered that the Japanese megaquake in 2011 was caused by a stress point they didn’t know existed. The off-coast areas of Peru and Child have a different story to tell. Peru, Chili and New Zealand are not indicated with red checks, because I believe lands are rising in those areas – land in some areas subside and others rise.
