Hey everyone! ๐
A big earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 just happened near the Vanuatu islands on Wednesday. That’s pretty strong! ๐ฎ
Vanuatu is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean, and it’s a place where earthquakes can happen because of moving tectonic plates under the Earth’s surface.
The German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) reported this earthquake. Scientists measure earthquakes using magnitudes, and 6.1 is considered significant.
We hope everyone there stays safe! ๐บ
