1906 Aleutian Islands earthquake


1906 Aleutian Islands earthquake is located in Alaska

The 1906 Aleutian Islands earthquake occurred at 00:10 UTC on August 17. It had an estimated seismic moment of 3.8 x 10 dyn cm-1, equivalent to a magnitude of 8.35 on the moment magnitude scale. This earthquake was followed thirty minutes later by the 1906 Valparaíso earthquake in Chile, but the two events are not thought to be linked. Due to the remote location, there are no reports of damage associated with this earthquake.[1] A transpacific tsunami reported from Japan and Hawaii was triggered by the Chilean event, rather than the Aleutian Islands earthquake.
