Four Major Earthquakes Strike Venezuela, Japan, and California Within Hours
In late June, four significant earthquakes struck three continents within hours: twin quakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 hit Venezuela's Yaracuy state causing severe damage and panic; a magnitude 7.2 tremor occurred off Japan's Iwate Prefecture, disrupting transport but causing limited damage; and a magnitude 5.6 quake rattled northern California. Experts state these events are unrelated, occurring in distinct tectonic settings across the Caribbean, Pacific Ring of Fire, and San Andreas fault systems.
