The 8.8 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale that hit the Kamchatka Peninsula in East Russia on Tuesday night (29) was recorded by all stations of the Brazilian Seismographic Network (RSBR).
The project monitors Brazilian systemicity, coordinated by the National Observatory (ON/MCTI), with the support of the Geological Service of Brazil (SGB), and has sensitivity that goes beyond the movements in Brazil and Latin America.
It is common to record large earthquakes that occur around the world at stations installed in Brazil, as seismic waves travel inside the Earth and can be detected even thousands of kilometers from the epicenter. Sismographers, equipment responsible for detecting earthquakes, is extremely sensitive and capable of registering both small seismos in Brazil and moderate to strong seismos in other parts of the planet
O For the Geological Service of the United States (USGS), was the stronger to reach the region since 1952. See the registration in Brazilian stations:
By US monitoring, this was the sixth largest earthquake ever recorded by instruments in history. The fifth largest occurred in the same region in 1952, with magnitude 9.0.
Na Costa de Kamchatka, waves between 3 and 4 meters caused structural damage and preventive evacuations. As Waves in Japan They have been smaller, ranging from 30 centimeters to 1.3 meters.
