M 4.5 earthquake near northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
An earthquake measuring 4.5 magnitude occurred near the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the underwater mountain range where the Earth's tectonic plates are spreading apart in the Atlantic Ocean. While moderate earthquakes are common along this geologically active zone, this event helps scientists better understand the structure and movement of the Earth's crust beneath the seafloor.
