Canberra earthquake prompts warnings on future quakes
Canberra residents were awakened as tremors spread from 20 kilometres underground near Yass. The Bureau of Mineral Resources said yesterday's main shock reached about 5 on the Richter scale with a minor aftershock, with damage reported within 40 kilometres. Scientists noted the region’s crust is rigid, making larger quakes unlikely but not impossible, and seismographs registered off-scale readings in Canberra, Sydney, and Melbourne.
