Earthquakes are common in the area and even large tremors often cause no tsunamis.
A 7.3 magnitude quake struck off Vanuatu in October and a 6.3 quake struck in December without causing any damage.
Vanatu is a nation of 80 islands and lies on the Pacific ring of fire - this is horse shoe area ofvolatile seismic faults which causea large amount of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
According to the United Nations University, Vanatu is the most at-risk nation in the world from natural disasters, Sky Newsreports.

The latest shooting at the Love Field airport is going to complicate things, already with reports of airplane bombings and the increased security at airports worldwide.
The Inquisitr provided the details as they came in on the Love Field shooting, which took place Friday when a man apparently approached police with a rock, during a domestic dispute with his ex.
The incident will also feed the debate of officers who overreact to a situation when deciding to use lethal force against a black man, which will cause a lot of eyes to roll by people who are sick of that narrative or are of the opinion that police officers get a free pass to decide when they use their weapons.
However, the fact is that the Love Field shooting is really no different than any of the other incidents caught on camera where officers use deadly force, and whether it is a white on black thing is a separate issue left for debate.
This scene describes a similar situation with the Love Field shooting where Shawn Diamond was carrying rocks to damage his exs car, but the Dallas police officer was unable to process the difference between a stone and a gun, which Shawn was not armed with, to treat him as if he were. Across the world stones are used as a sign of resistance during protests as we see in this image with a masked Kashmiri Muslim protester throwing rocks at Indian policemen during a protest in Srinagar, Indian-controlled Kashmir, Friday, June 10, 2016. Kashmiris gathered after Friday afternoon prayers to protest against Indian rule in the disputed region. In some cases, such as in Palestine, protesters have been killed to much public scrutiny, but for the most part it doesnt require the killing of people with stones. [Image by Dar Yasin / AP Photo]What happened at Love Field is, in fact, a case of cops overreacting to a man with a rock, similar to those incidents reported where people throwing rocks at border patrol officials or even rock-throwing Palestinians in Israel are also met with lethal force.
We should look at why they felt that shooting was the best option, with the intention to kill someone who clearly would not have gotten very far with attacking an officer with a rock.
According to the reports, the man with the rock identified as 29-year-old Shawn Diamond told the officer(s), Youre going to have to shoot me, which is probably the OK the officers were looking for.
Property Valued Over Life?
Shawn Diamond reportedly carried a rock or two when he approached the Dallas police and was shot at Love Field. This image was taken when he was jailed earlier in the week for property damage and thus, the only thing he might be guilty of is not managing his anger issues with his ex, still not a reason to be shot at with the intent to kill. [Image by Carrollton Police Department via AP]That he was smashing up the womans car could be for a lot of reasons, none of them a good reason to open fire on him with the intent to kill as its only property that is damaged, and ONLY property.
If we take out the fact that he was approaching the officers with a rock or two and look at the destruction of his exs car the DPD video above shows her chucking his luggage on the ground, clearly she was sick of him, too then would the officer open fire on someone for that alone?
Whos property are they protecting? Is insurance coverage, repairs, and all that comes with repairing a damaged vehicle such a hassle that an officer or anyone for that matter can decide that shooting the person who caused it is worth lowering the bill?
The officer was placed on administrative leave which should not lessen the scrutiny they deserve for attempting to bury more than one bullet into Mr. Diamond, who is currently as of this writing in critical but stable condition.
Police Intimidation
Officer is yelling when they created a blockade in Toronto during the G20 Summit in 2010. This is common among the ranks of officers who feel theyre a force to be reckoned with, every time they put on their big boy pants and badge when they leave the house every day. [Image by Jason Hargrove via Flickr / CC BY 2.0]Even with the sweeping changes to police departments across the nation over the consistent reports of lethal force used on citizens, there is still the hardened idea that officers can make those decisions, especially for an incident as questionable as this.
And that it was at Love Field which is considered one of the busiest airports in the world, would an officer who thought that a black man with dreads coming at them with rocks is a good enough reason to unload on him?
Perhaps to the officer, the dreads made Shawn look like the alien in Predator, in which case he might have a better case to hold up his reasoning to say that hes not able to make the distinction between fact and fiction, or hes unable to even have the commonsense to know the difference between a guy with a rock or two and a person whos really dangerous.
New York Daily News is one of the sources reporting that Shawn had already been causing trouble earlier in the week before the Love Field shooting, driving recklessly and spending Tuesday night in jail.
Having an attitude problem while officers might feel is a good enough reason to shoot to kill him is still not reason enough for the shooting at Love Field.
Power Tripping The Possibilities
Even knowing that it would cause systematic problems with processing airline passengers is a given, as anyone assigned to patrol that area knows enough about the airports already dire problems along with everyone else to know they have the power to decide when they will cause even more problems by pulling the trigger.
And so theres enough of a reason for the shooting at Love Field to be scrutinized from all angles, especially against the officer who decided pulling the trigger was the best option for him to flex the power he has to cause airport gridlock.
Even further, the reason these officers and anyone making the argument that tasers are not an option is for one reason only and that is the chance that it wont stop the suspect.
Much like the killing of Harambe last week, as described in an op-ed by Inquisitr, the decision to shoot Shawn Diamond came down to what he could have done with those rocks, if the taser didnt work.
@itsachillything The thing at the Dallas airport today the bf was using rocks & his fists. Cops used guns, but for once it was justified.

Does anyone see a pattern on the what if scenarios were plagued with when these shootings take place?
Of course, if the connection is made that metals are minerals also forged from certain types of rocks, then perhaps a connection can be made with knives to the rocks he was holding, in which case, the officer either overthought the incident or hes got a great argument to make that those rocks are the same as knives.
There is no doubt that the Love Field shooting is going to be debated, very likely without any of these ideas being considered. Mostly because every party involved is going to do what they can to distort the obvious, which is that the officer acted under the existing climate of transition, between a police force thats fighting to keep the power they once had and the call for them to stop being so hot-headed every time theres a rock involved.
Argentina vs. Panama | 2016 Copa America Highlights
Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports
Lionel Messi is back for Argentina, and they may be set to punch their ticket to the Copa America knockout rounds.
Two teams are currently tied atop the standings in Group D for the Copa America Centenario, and those two teams square off against one another on Friday night as Argentina and Panama go head to head in Soldier Field. Panama have more momentum than many expected after their win over Bolivia, but will that be enough to overcome Argentina?
Maybe not.
Argentina are riding high themselves after a dominant win over defending Copa champs Chile, a win that saw them thoroughly control the game even without their megastar attacker -- Lionel Messi watched from the bench. Now Messi is back, and he"ll be itching to put his mark on this tournament. If he and Argentina get rolling early, it"s going to be awfully hard for Panama to do anything about it.

Theyve got Payet. Dimitri Payet. And for that reason alone, France began their tournament with a gloom lifting win.
Left foot curled in from 25 yards after 89 minutes. Hes been scoring them like that all season, although not many quite of this importance, but it was no more than he deserved.
Taken off in injury time, he was crying, overcome with emotion and it was entirely understandable. So long on the periphery in his own country he was the best player on the field here by a mile. As for the scorer of Frances first goal, Olivier Giroud, well, he had to get one eventually. Unfortunately, fit was the barrow load he missed that will be most discussed, having come so close to costing France two points.

‘The Voice’ singer Christina Grimmie shot, critically injured
When first she performed on the NBC show "The Voice" two years ago, some of the judges" eyes flew open. They cheered wildly as they savored her every note -- swiveling their chairs forward and pressing their buzzers to express their approval.
Here are five other things to know about Grimmie, the 22-year-old singer shot dead after her concert in Orlando:
Grimmie"s fame was not limited to concerts and festivals.
She was a digital powerhouse who amassed more than 3 million subscribers on YouTube. She was discovered when she was a teen six years ago on her YouTube page, where she belted out powerful renditions of famous cover songs. Her career has been on an upward trajectory since then, fueled by her memorable appearance on "The Voice."
"There are no words," "The Voice" tweeted after her death. "We lost a beautiful soul with an amazing voice. Our hearts go out to the friends, fans and family."
Her fans included superstars
Grimmie finished third on Season 6 of "The Voice," where her fans included some of the biggest superstars.
When contestants start on the show, four judges listen with their backs turned to the singer; by the end of the song, the performer will hope that at least one of the judges will have turned around, signaling they want him or her on their team for the remainder of the competition.
In Grimmie"s first appearance on the show in 2014, all four judges wanted her. As she performed Miley Cyrus" "Wrecking Ball," singer Usher, one of the judges, jumped from his seat and pumped his fists in the air. Country crooner Blake Shelton, another judge, tightly closed his eyes, taking in Grimmie"s every note.
Since more than one judge wanted her, she had her choice. She ended up being a finalist on the team of Maroon 5"s lead singer, Adam Levine.
She has also opened for Selena Gomez several times, and has performed on "Ellen."
She moved West to pursue her dream
Grimmie was not one to shy away from following her dreams. The New Jersey native moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career.
She released her first album in 2011 titled, "Find Me," which debuted at number 2 on iTunes, according to her website.
Shortly afterward, she packed her bags and moved to the West Coast. She released her sophomore album, "With Love," and her career kept blossoming. Last year, she was selected as a rising star for Macy"s iHeartRadio.
Despite her new home thousands of miles away, she mused about the pros and cons of both coasts.
"Los Angeles traffic is just the worst thing in the world. It throws off timing so much," she posted on her website. "However, it"s always warm and sunny. New Jersey has absolutely terrible weather but the environment is really homey and chill."
She said no to skimpy outfits
Last year, Grimmie told a UK newspaper that she has no plans to wear overly skimpy outfits to sell albums.
"I"ve absolutely fought against having to be half-n***d to sell a track," the Daily Record quotes her as saying.
"Someone asked me the same question five years ago and it was the same answer then. They say, "We"ll pay you this check if you sing this line or dress in this particular outfit. People tell you what you have to wear and do and I"ve never been a fan of it."
Her ties with Selena Gomez went beyond music
Grimmie told Seventeen magazine that she was discovered by the stepdad of pop star Selena Gomez.
She went on to form a fast friendship with Gomez, and credits the popstar with a lot of her life lessons.
"She really taught me two things. First: be yourself no matter who talks c**p about you. She said, "You have to be yourself in every situation." The other thing is to keep going when you mess up live."
