On Tuesday, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck in close proximity to the city of Naples. And yet, despite its magnitude there was absolutely no damage. Why? Well, this earthquake was surprisingly further away than parts of Bosnia, as it occurred deep in the upper mantle. Today's video will discuss how this earthquake was related to a strange quirk of the area's plate tectonics. A special thanks to the EarthquakeSim YouTube channel for granting me permission to use clips of his footage!
