Pakistan’s Earthquake creates a new island

A major earthquake struck southwestern Pakistan killing over 100 people;injuring thousands more;collapsing building and houses;and,incredibly,causing a small island to form in the sea off Pakistan’s coastline.The power of the quake was underscored by the small,visible island which rose off the coast of Gwadar in the Arabian Sea.The island’s altitude is 20 to 40 feet and width around 100 feet and is roughly 350 feet off shore.Most earthquakes rarely have such a drastic effect on the world surface.The last time an earthquake caused such a drastic change was when an 8.8-magnitude quake in Chile altered the country’s coastline.
