00:00A 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck 92 kilometers north-northwest of Alineva, Alaska.
00:06The United States Geological Survey reported it happened at a depth of 10 kilometers.
00:11This depth means shaking spreads over a wider area, but feels less intense at the surface.
00:17Multiple seismic stations across Alaska recorded the event.
00:20Because Alaska lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, it is one of the most seismically active parts of the
00:26United States.
00:27Earthquakes of this size happen frequently here, but rarely cause significant damage in remote places like Alineva.
00:34The USGS continues to monitor aftershocks that may follow this main quake.
00:38The USGS says monitoring will continue to track any further seismic activity nearby.
