A little over a month ago, two small earthquakes of a similar size occurred in the reservoir.
This region is located along the unstable Ring of Fire seismic fault system that surrounds the Pacific Ocean.
This area contains most of the Earth's subduction zones, where oceanic plates slide beneath lighter continental plates.
Earthquakes tend to occur when these plates scratch or settle beneath each other, and when they do occur at sea, it can trigger a tsunami.
