00:00Another big earthquake has just hit the Gulf of Alaska.
00:04This new quake is a strong magnitude 6.2, and it comes just five days,
00:09after a magnitude 7.3 quake rocked the same region on July 16.
00:15It's located within the Pacific Ring of Fire, and Alaska is no stranger to powerful quakes.
00:21Since 2020, multiple earthquakes measuring magnitude 7.0 or higher have struck this volatile zone.
00:31And now this latest M6.2 event is just the latest reminder
00:35that the tectonic pressure building beneath the region could produce an even bigger quake in the future.
