Miami, AFP. The tremors of the earthquake were felt in the Caribbean Sea between Jamaica and eastern Cuba on Tuesday. According to the US Geological Survey, its intensity on the Richter scale has been measured at 7.7. The risk of a tsunami has increased in the area following a powerful earthquake. However, it is a matter of relief that no casualty has been reported so far.

Following the earthquake, US scientists have predicted a dangerous tsunami in the coastal areas of Cuba and Jamaica. The depth of this earthquake was 10 kilometers below the surface. The earthquake was centered 140 kilometers northwest of Montego Bay and Jamaica, and 140 kilometers west-south of Nicervo, Cuba.

What is richter scale

Vibration in the ground during an earthquake is called the Richter scale or Magnitude. The full name of the Richter scale is the Richter Results Test (Richter Magnitude Test Scale). The higher the earthquake's intensity on the Richter scale, the greater the vibration in the land. As the intensity of the earthquake increases, the damage is also greater. For example, an earthquake of magnitude 8 on the Richter scale will do more damage. An earthquake of 3 or 4 magnitude will be mild.
