The National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska has issued a bulletin for the east coast of the United States, the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, eastern Canada, and the Caribbean including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands in the wake of the massive earthquake that hit the United States. In the depths of the Atlantic today. “Earthquakes of this size are known to trigger dangerous tsunamis on beaches close to the source,” the Tsunami Warning Center wrote in a bulletin. Fortunately, they add, “there is no tsunami risk on the east coast of the United States, the Gulf states of Mexico, or the east coast of Canada.” An additional bulletin issued by the Tsunami Warning Center has also given clarity to all Caribbean interests.

At 2:33 p.m. ET today, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck at a depth of 48 miles in the South Sandwich Islands region of the South Atlantic. This was followed by impressive aftershocks of 5.9, 5.9, 5.7, and most recently 6.2 struck just before 4 p.m. ET. The initial epicenter was at 57,596 degrees south and 25.187 degrees west.

Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. In the depths of the ocean, tsunami waves do not get very high. But as the waves move towards land, they build up at higher and higher elevations as the ocean depth decreases. The speed of tsunami waves depends on the depth of the ocean rather than the distance from the source of the wave. Tsunamis may travel at the same speed as jets over deep water, and only slow down when they reach shallow water. While tsunamis are often referred to as tidal waves, this name is discouraged by oceanographers because tides have nothing to do with these giant waves.

Today’s strong earthquake comes on the heels of two other strong earthquakes in the Atlantic Ocean in recent days. On August 10, a strong earthquake struck the North Central Atlantic. Just days ago, on August 8, a strong earthquake hit the south-central Atlantic. Unlike today’s earthquake, neither of these earthquakes was capable of causing a tsunami.

While tsunamis are more prevalent in the Pacific Ocean, they can occur within the Atlantic Basin and can affect the eastern and Gulf coasts of the United States as well as all islands in the Caribbean. Earlier this year, officials conducted two comprehensive earthquake and tsunami exercises to deal with the possibility of such an Atlantic event.
