An earthquake measuring 6 on the Richter Scale was recorded 878 km to the Archipelago of Fernando de Noronha.

The quake had its epicenter
10 kilometers below the seabed. Although the water depth of 4000 meters to be in the region, Professor George Sand France, the Seismological Observatory of Brasilia University (UnB), dismisses the risk of a tsunami because the characteristics of the area where the quake occurred and the magnitude the earthquake.

He said a tsunami can be caused by quake above seven on the Richter scale and geological faults where two tectonic plates meet and one is pushed under the other.
