An earthquake occurred in eastern Russia, specifically in the Kuril Islands region, which is known for its seismic activity. The Kuril Islands are located between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean, and they often experience earthquakes due to the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate. These tremors can vary in magnitude and have the potential to trigger tsunamis in the surrounding areas.
The average temperature of the Kuril Islands varies significantly by season. In winter, temperatures can range from -10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), while summer temperatures typically range from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F).
