It was a critical flaw in these systems, scientists said, leaving them unable to predict exactly when the waves would hit land.2022-01-29T00:58+0100yahoo-sg-ea19606815612caf4766bc592d5153e420220129005800https://www.fijitimes.com/seismic-activity-5-9-magnitude-earthquake-recorded-in-yasawa-region/The map showing the epicentre of the 5.9 earthquake recorded this afternoon.

LONDON — The volcanic eruption in Tonga this month unleashed an atmospheric shockwave that radiated out at close to the speed of sound, pushing large waves across the Pacific to the shores of Japan and Peru, thousands of kilometers away.2022-01-29T00:25+0100ksl-aa3fb8ec81bad41c8d73a661cd7e6a7520220129002500https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquakes/quake-info/6622022/mag3quake-Jan-28-2022-New-Zealand.html28 Jan 22:49 UTC First to report: GEONET (NZ) after 3 minutes. 28 Jan 22:51 : Magnitude recalculated from 3.7 to 3.8. 28 Jan 22:53 : Magnitude recalculated from 3.8 to 4.0.
