Methane clathrates

Norwegian Sea hit by 4.6M Earthquake


9 November, 2013


In the early morning of November 9, 2013, the Norwegian Sea was hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.6 on the Richter Scale. Earlier (on October 28, 2013), an earthquake with a 5.3 magnitude hit the Greenland Sea closer to Svalbard.

These earthquakes come at a time when huge amounts of methane are rising from the seabed of the Arctic Ocean, from areas on or close to the fault line that crosses the Arctic Ocean. The location of the earthquake that hit the Norwegian Sea is indicated on the map below with a white circle.
