M 5.1 earthquake near Pacific-Antarctic Ridge.
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake occurred near the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge, which is an underwater mountain range where tectonic plates are spreading apart in the southern Pacific Ocean. While moderate earthquakes like this are common in such geologically active regions, this event helps scientists better understand the structure and movement of Earth's crust in one of the planet's most remote areas.
