Several earthquakes with a magnitude greater than or equal to 6 occurred on October 10th.

Three are reported on New Britain in Papua New Guinea, one reported off the island of Java and one in the Kuril Islands region.

Although unpredictable, these earthquakes may provide a better understanding of plate tectonics and faults present, and refine the determination of areas more likely to be affected in the future by these earthquakes.
