"Unprecedented: 2000 Earthquakes in 1 Day Off Canada Coast Signal Ocean Floor Ripping Apart"
Nearly 2,000 earthquakes were recorded in a single day off the coast of Canada, indicating a potential deep sea magmatic rupture and the birth of new oceanic crust. The quakes, centered on the Endeavour site near Vancouver Island, are not a threat to people and are part of the ocean floor spreading apart. Scientists are closely monitoring the area to understand how the ocean floor pulls apart and new crust forms, as well as the impact on the hydrothermal vent system.
