Amchitka quake data seen aid prediction and mitigation
U S officials say the Cannikin underground blast at Amchitka Island yielded precise seismic data aiding understanding of earthquake mechanisms and aftershocks. NOAA notes no natural quakes or tsunamis from the test, but the magnitude 7 event temporarily moved the island. Data may improve earthquake-resistant building and prediction efforts.
