Earthquakes in Solomon Islands: tectonic setting
The Solomon Islands lie near active subduction zones in the southwest Pacific. Large shallow offshore earthquakes can produce tsunamis; the 2007 earthquake and tsunami are an important historical example.
Using this monitoring portal
The records display magnitude, depth and location where these are available from source agencies. Magnitude should not be confused with felt intensity, which differs with distance, soils and construction. Some locations and magnitude estimates are preliminary and may be revised.
Safety and authoritative information
EarthSentra cannot predict earthquakes and does not replace official alerts. The absence of recent events does not mean the hazard has disappeared. Follow competent geological and emergency authorities and learn local protective procedures. During shaking protect your head and neck; after strong or prolonged shaking on an exposed coast, follow official tsunami procedures.
